I guess we've escaped the winter weather bullet long enough! We had a little snow yesterday, with more predicted over the next few days including what may be a nasty snow and ice rain storm overnight and then the temp is going to drop to a daytime high of -15 and then raise up again to near 0. *sigh* That's going to make for a long week. Ang, can we have that shovel back? Actually i do own a small shovel, one of those that you buy to put in the trunk of your car for emergencies. I bought it last winter when i had a rental car for a couple of weeks over Christmas after i had it one weekend and had to kick the snow away from the car one morning nearly crippling my back.

Season 2 of Rome started last night but also a new episode of Brothers and Sisters and Desparate Housewives. I couldn't tape them all so something had to give and it was Brothers and Sisters. Too bad, too because that would have been the better choice to watch. I taped Rome's middle of the night repeat and watched Desparate which was on at the same time. Couldn't tape Brothers and Sisters because with the digital setup, i would have had to get up and change the channel manually. I wish i'd watched Rome then taped B&S because on DH, when Gabby's secret admirer turned out to be who it was, it didn't half put me off the show and i turned it off and went to bed in disgust. But i won't spoil it for you.

You know how toothpaste gives your mouth that fresh, cool feeling? I nearly had an arctic incident this morning. I nearly put a glob of that cool "ice" ointment on my toothbrush and just caught it as the gel hit the edge of the brush. Gave it a good scrub before using the proper paste but that could have been "interesting" You gotta love Monday mornings.

So the snow started about noon. I was going to post that i have a really nice manager. He sent around an email and said we could leave at 3 if we wanted to because of the weather. Only it didn't really work out too well in the end. I just missed one buss and waited about 10 minutes for another one. It got to the terminal 5 minutes too late for one connection for my route. My route? Never came. I waited 45 minutes. I'm cold and severely pissed off watching one after another bus pull in. Not my bus, or Out of Service which they do if the bus on a route is really late. Meanwhile every other bus comes by, some more than once. There were a couple i could have got on that would have got me close but i kept thinking mine would be pulling in any time. I gave up and got one of those, as did about 80 others who crammed on to the bus only meant to seat 40. I did get a seat though, and got off a couple of blocks from my place and walked. Uphill. Not that much of a hill but when you're fat and out of shape, it's the last fucking straw. Baby steps up the hill and i got home finally, later than i would normally getting off at 4! Ok, manager still nice letting us off but it wasn't much good to me in the end. Next time there are other ways and means and roundabout routes that i guess i'll take where i can walk a few blocks and get home instead of standing around waiting in vain.
