Poking my head (yeah, I skipped again. Only a few dozens posts this time, but still), to post before I have to run off for the weekend.
First, according to the Buffista Calendar, Saturday, the 1st of January, will be Susan W's birthday, so lots of early wishes for her, for a great day and a wonderful year.
Also, for all of you who note the ending of a calendar year and the beginning of a new one on Saturday - lots of "let a year and its cursings end, let a year and its blessing begin" (badly translated Hebrew wish, said before the Jewish new-year holiday).
And, um, you know, good rest-of-the-day, rest-of-the-week, rest-of-whatever-it-is-that-will-end-soon. And a lovely weekend.
So if I set up a shrine to the coffee gods and pray there several times daily, does that mean I'm no longer an agnostic?
Welcome to the One True Faith, Lee. We're gaining converts daily. (And often, middle-of-the-nightly.)
After the big snow (4 ft, I think) I made a big sign that said "Didn't shovel it? Can't have it." If I can't stand there menacingly with a snow shovel, I'll try shame. Yes, obnoxious. But then, I also was the one who called to have au untagged car towed from my neighbor's handicapped space that we'd shovelled out for her. So maybe it balances out.

I've long since been a believer, but after waking up with a migraine at 2:00 this morning, and having to drag myself in to work this morning anyway, I think it's fair to say I have been born again.
Snow reminds me yet again why I'm glad to be a renter with no car. I don't have to shovel anything!
Similar results can be achieved by living in LA, and you have the benefit of not risking frostbite to get places.

But not in your garage, since it seems to like trapping its residents.

am so, so glad I have a parking pad now. Even if it would be nice to have a little yard to let the dog out in for his early morning business doin'.

Yeah, but then you have to live in LA. Which is fine for some people, I do understand.
(Beauty of different people being different: different places for different people.)
I've finished everything I had to do for today. Can I go home and read slashy OC fanfic now?
More to the point, do you think my manager would buy this as a reason to leave three and a half hours early? There's this show with these really cute guys who have the loveliest chemistry . . .

Solutions involving shovelling snow back and topping it off with a garden hose come to mind for me. I know from a former co-worker's travails that it is possible for an engine block to freeze to the ground and become effectively immovable for weeks if the conditions are just right.
