Oh man -- My excellent plan of subway + walking was thwarted by a disabled train somewhere. Well, not thwarted, but delayed. I waited 45 minutes for the subway! And to add insult to injury, my officemate drove by me on my way to the station, but did not see me.
You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

Car mostly unsnowified -- it needs a good brushing, but the proof-of-concept moving out of the space was achieved. Now I'm conflicted as to whether leaves something space-saverish in the empty slot. Tragedy of the commons, it is.

Somehow managed to leave my phone at home. Can I make it through the whole day without driving back to get it? We'll see.

I think I'm going to be buying a new fridge this weekend. The one I have is old and glaciated and the compressor sounds wonky. I don't need a big one, and I saw one in a size I like at Home Depot.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Dibs! We haven't had a big enough snow here yet to get people started on dibs.

Oh yeah, I think even in Somerville, a beach chair or similar is called for when there is this much snow!
I am so glad I came in to the office! I'm still not getting shit done, but at least I get full credit for the day....

I am checked in for my flight tomorrow. I'm not looking forward to getting up at 5am, but then it will be lazy vacation times in Virginia until I come back on Monday.

I'm about to make an enormous job change decision. I've been at my current workplace ten years and I am fucking terrified. All the people at the new place think I'm really smart but what if I'm all talk and it turns out I can't actually do any of the things I said I could do. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.
Ok. Now I've said it out loud. (Kind of.)

(A) Congratulations! Maybe a little premature, but if it's your decision to make I'm gonna congratulate you.
(B) You will be fine. You can totally do everything you have said you can do.
(C) That is a huge change and it totally makes sense to be terrified.
I hope saying it gets it out of your head, at least some.
Also - woohoo lazy vacation times for shrift!
