Wish me luck. I'm going to try braving the streets to get home. I suspect that what is usually a 45 minute drive is going to take at least twice that. Joy!
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

What do you think? (Fine, thin hair, straight, short, little body)
They'd all probably work on you, but I do favor the first (and shortest) cut.

I'm getting the pig!
Ha! I like the first one the least but I still like all of them.
Fast commute home ~ma, ChiKat!

So.
4 hours and 25 minutes ago, I posted this:
Of course, I'm probably about to get stuck in traffic (which should normally take 20 minutes) for well over an hour.
It did, in fact, take well over an hour. The 13-mile (I just checked on Google maps) commute that generally takes me 20-ish minutes took me 4 hours and 15 minutes.
I have driven to Cleveland in less time than that. For real.
Do we have a foot of snow? No. The weather guys are saying 4 inches so far, but after observing it for 4 hours at about 2 mph, I think it's more like 2 or 2.5 at most.
I need to kill someone, right now.
Hey, Teppy -- I know YOU have food year-round but... [link]
Or, perhaps, eat a box of Mallomars.
Yes. A box of Mallomars would make me feel better.

Holy fuck. That's evil.

Nicole, that coworker should die. Also, insent.

Jesus. I'm brain-dead from 4 hours of inhaling exhaust from the cars in front of me.
Yes, but you and your car got home safe Teppy, yes?
Yes indeed, which I do know is the most important thing. But I still need to choke a bitch.
Or maybe just have a glass of wine.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Oh dear... The weather demons are being quite demonic tonight.
My uncle is stuck in Denver for at least three hours on his way from Oregon to Chicago to preside over his uncle's funeral. Mom is at my house and will fly out tomorrow.
I am staying here because my dad and stepmom are having a Christmas party for which there is no excuse to miss. I laughingly asked if death would be valid and they suggested I make sure I get my corpse cleaned up nicely and go mingle.
Can it be January?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The snow wasn't too bad when I left work (3 inches?), so I decided to take CTA home, despite the fact that their trains are much more likely to be affected by snow than the big diesel Metra trains. So I get to the Davis St station and it's more than twice as crowded than I've ever seen it. I only had to wait ten mintures for a Purple Line train, but it turns out that the two trains before it both had to be taken out of service because ice had messed up their doors, causing them to stick open or closed.
Anyway, it was fun to watch all the people and the cars dealing with the snow. I'm sure it would have been much less fun if I had to drive....
