Happy Birthday shrift.

That guy is the worst, Kat.

The storm was getting worse, other offices were starting to be told to go home, and there was no one to tell us to go home, so my coworker and I decided around 11:45 to leave. I made it home in 35 minutes, thanks to a bus that pulled up just as I got to the bus stop. But they've just told all buses to pull over and stay in place as they are closing the rest of gov't offices and the malls. What a shit show.

I did trip over the curb getting off the bus and faceplanted in the snow, but it was mostly a soft landing.

Because books.

Ouch, Sue! Soft but COLD, I bet.

Happy birthday, shrift!

Well, I was well-bundled up. I did get a bunch of snow in my bag though. Wrapping my iPad in a plastic bag before I left work was the smartest thing I've done today.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Well, none of us really "approve" of him. ::glares at the dude::

Happy Birthday, shrift!

Stay warm all you folks! I feel slightly shameful about the warm sun streaming through my kitchen window right now. OTOH, we do get to worry about droughts and earthquakes here...

My poor coworker is probably stranded on a bus somewhere, as he lives out in the suburbs.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

True. And we'll almost certainly be under water restrictions/rationing as of February. However, I've done my time in the cold climes, and I'll take droughts and earthquakes any day.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Seriously, dude! So that's why the kid couldn't just be dropped off earlier...he wasn't there! Lying liar who lies!

It's a beautiful day here in the White Mountains, too. Sunny and mild. I think I'll go split some firewood in a little bit, with my new Christmas axe!

I have a ton of work to do too, but all my non-teaching work is work from home anyway, so no big deal. I should probably also eat something at some point. Oooh, which reminds me, the kettle is probably hot on top of the woodstove by now.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

my new Christmas axe!

What a Buffista gift!
