Right now, Snowpocalypse II is more annoyance than catastrophe, at least in metro Atlanta. It’s a few degrees colder than they originally predicted, so we have a fairly thin glaze of ice with snow on top, and the new precipitation seems to mostly be sleet. It’s nothing you’d want to drive on, but not something that brings down power lines.

Overheard at work: "I've worked here for more than 25 years and we've never had a problem with defecation and urination like this." Yes, apparently we have a serial pee-er.

Athens GA reports a tree down at our former house (not my problem! Also very neatly fell into the road and even missed the power lines) and our former neighbors sledding down the street. (I miss Athens.)

Gross, flea, what a bummer to have to deal with that.

I emailed the same thing to mr. flea and he replied that Casper once peed on the floor in the public library in Durham. Given that we moved away from there when she was 4, I think that can be excused.

(While I am not super-happy about adult bodily excretions at work, they are pretty much not my problem, unlike the super-demanding but apparently sane patrons, or the obviously having a psychotic episode and also drunk woman - a regular whom I like - I spent most of an hour with last week. That sort of stuff is exhausting, and sometimes heartbreaking.)

Well, that's good at least!!

Yikes, flea. I may have lots of complaints of where I have been working (and may yet again, FSM willing and the creek don't rise), but at least I don't have to worry about poop.

Anyway, the contract firm changed their mind, they're willing to go for a regular W-2 employee, and assuming they sign the contract, I'd be making only a little less than I was when I was at Previous Employer with Previous Contracting Firm.

I'm going to make up the difference by not wearing nice clothes, though. Jeans, knit shirts, and cardigans. No dry-cleaning bills!

Hurrah!!!

Ugh, nearly everyone I know in NC is stuck in their cars (and posting to Facebook about it). Apparently the forecast there was not bad, and everyone went to work, and then everyone tried to leave work at once when it started snowing 2 inches an hour. (In GA, everything has been cancelled since yesterday, so people are home and safe, but 2 people I know have trees down already.) Be safe, people!

I'm home, flea, as is Amyth. Luckily, I work from home on Wednesdays.

Snow is supposed to start in DC later this evening. I only hope that heavier-than-expected snow in NC starts a trend for this storm. Although most people around here already expect to be off tomorrow.
