RBOC: blah

  • I was planning to write a post with real content tonight, but my THREE HOUR commute this afternoon kind of sucked the will out of me. And some of you wondered why I hate snow.
  • We're supposed to be getting the biggest storm of the season right now. If it's still snowing in the morning, I'm staying home. I already called my carpool buddy to warn him. On one hand, this is a bummer because I prepared some lab work that I'd really like to do. On the other, a snow day snuggled in my pj's, working on my paper sounds pretty good.
  • My traffic-induced grouch was partially mitigated by the return of Lost. Ecogeoman and I get super into it, as do a few of my coworkers. We will surely discuss it tomorrow (if I go in). I think the show is off to a pretty good start The writers need to come back now so the season gets completed.
  • I ended the month with a little money left over, which I transferred to my savings account today. Good news for that resolution.

Sorry you had a blah day. I can't believe how hellish your commute was. Have you found a new carpool buddy? IIRC, your carpool mate changed jobs, yes?

Congrats on working on the resolution! But your three hour commute sounds just painful. What ever happened to the George Jetson-type chutes? Sigh.

I love snow on the mountains, but it shouldn't be allowed to fall anywhere else. My bus commute wasn't as long as yours, but it still took 3 times longer than it usually does on my bike.

sounds like it's a good time for me to be in dissertation town.

3 hours! Ouch! The staying in plan sounds pretty good even if it stops snowing!

Jennie, you should be very happy you're not here. Although maybe it wouldn't have mattered to you since you work at home. :)

I love Lost as well. It was good, but again, they leave us with SO many questions. At the end of last season, they started to answer a lot of them but I am afraid the strike will leave us with more questions then ever.
