Very early randoms because I am bored and trapped
There was a water main break near my apartment complex overnight and a large stretch of the road I'm on is closed. They finally started letting residents leave, but my shuttle isn't able to get in. In fact, even if they could let it in, the one that was supposed to be here at 8 is probably a good 30-45 minutes out due to traffic. It's too foffing cold to stand outside and wait so most people decided to just give up and try for the one that's supposed to come at 10:15. On the one hand, I'm happy to get extra lounge time at home. On the other, going back to bed is too strong a temptation ...
Last night I dreamed I got shot in the leg and I woke up clutching my leg.
I don't understand hardcore football fans. The news just said "Should be a perfect day for the Pats game!" and then showed that it will be, like, 30 degrees. That is not a beautiful day for sitting outside for 75 hours. Maybe I just don't love anything that much.

Re: Very early randoms because I am bored and trapped
that sucks! nothing like a freak malfunction to ruin everything. at least you have an ironclad excuse note.
i dunno, i guess football fans like to draw any parallel of toughness between their team and themselves that they can. like, they may not be down there crushing skulls on the gridiron, but they're drinking beer in their snowpants! TOUGH!
i'm sofaking busy today, i don't have time for lunch, i can only hope i can get out at five. Grrr.
For less then ten cents a day, you can feed a hungry child.

30 is great for staying inside and watching stuff on TV!
They just announced that my shuttle is canceled for right now. I'm kind of pissed at the company who runs it. This morning, I went out, waited awhile, got the water main break news, then came back in to call the company. Lady who answered kept trying to tell me driver was in traffic and would be there soon. I was like "But X Street is closed from Y to Z." and she said "Oh. I didn't know that. I guess people will have to walk up to Z Street to get picked up!" So I said "So is that the plan? Should I tell people we should all walk up there to wait?" and she said "No, no, he's just in traffic. I'm sure he'll be there soon."
Oooookay. Then 5 minutes later the company posts on Twitter (which we have been told over and over to check for status updates) that the shuttle is 20-30 minutes behind schedule. Uh huh. Go back out, wait a bit, talk to some people, decide to come back in and wait til 10:15 (which is the last AM shuttle out of here). They just now announced that the shuttle is not running at all.
The watermain broke overnight. The road has been closed since before dawn. NO shuttles have been allowed in. So, was I REALLY the first to call? Or have they just been lying to people and people have given up? I'm disgruntled. There are 11 billion ways to communicate with people about this VERY public situation and everyone has their thumbs up their asses. And no one can even tell me if they've just canceled the shuttle entirely or if they'll reevaluate if things change.

As long as it is not raining and the wind chill is not dipping below the 20 degree mark, it's perfect weather for football.
I drank 3/4 of a bottle of wine last night. This morning was not fun.
I really don't want it to snow this weekend. We gots things to do, man.
The other night A and I were watching Property Brothers and the husband on the show was clearly an islander who had emigrated to Canada, based on his accent. We had too much fun thinking up lines for him... "Have you bean to Tim Horton's, mon? How aboot it, mon, that's some tasty stuff, eh?"
Mucho likes purple nails and purple cupcakes
Look for me in my snowpants, bitches!
I'm worried about Kenz... She hasn't been acting herself these last few days. Not really eating or begging which is completely bizarre for her. And there seems to be a mass behind her remaining front leg. I've tried to convince myself it's a muscle formed from using her leg differently, but it makes me all squeegie in the butt when I touch it, so I don't know how much longer I can delude myself. Pete's gone all day and I can't lift her into the car myself, but I think it's time we bring her in to the vet for them to take a look and it makes me cry just imagining going. I don't want to hear what they say.
I'm crying.
Whenever I'm reading a post on the boards and my eye catches a word with two Zs in it, I automatically think you guys are talking about me. "Oh, DH and I ordered pizza last night and it was delicious!" O o! They're talking about ME! "I was so buzzed last night I zazzled my zoozzle bits!" ME! They're talking about me!!!! And then I feel lame for thinking I was more important than pizza. True story.
Moo, you were in my dream last night. I don't really remember anything other than we were just hanging out. I live an exciting life, even in my dreams.
I'm here, at work, avoiding dealing with a project that involves reading the mind of boss lady and trying to calm down the very hyper reactive pregnant associate. Good times.

That's so lame Hezz. I certainly don't do that with words that start with V. No I do not. Yeah.
Vibez to Kenz dude!

sorry you're having a crap morning, moo.
Hezz, TP for you and Kenzie, I hope it's nothing.
Oh hezz, I hope everything is ok with puppy.
I'm having two babies today.
I love football, but the thought of sitting outside in freezing weather, or in snow and rain, is awful.. I'd much rather watch from the comfort of my warm house, within walking distance of a beer that doesn't cost $8. I do love watching games where it's snowing, though.
My mother was supposed to have routine toe surgery on February 1 for a bone spur on her big toe. The spur rubbed against her second toe and caused an infection that got in the bone, so now she's having surgery on Monday for the infection. She has to spend three days in the hospital for infusion antibiotic treatment, then continue with the infusion at home for a week. It still won't fix the spur so they'll do that surgery in another six weeks once the infection clears. Poor mommy.
That's RIGHT!!!!!!! Holy crap dude. Holy crap on a sticker!!!
Good luck and I can't wait to see pictures!!!
show off!
good luck to you! I can't wait to see pictures of your babies
Oh Kenz!
I hope she's just got a touch of the winter blues, sweet girl.
Vinny, if I didn't get shot in your dream, I think I like yours better. In mine, I went back to my mom's office to get something and there were all these gang members in there negotiating a truce and two guys outside were like "Here, give us a hug first" and I knew it was a trap but I did it anyway, and the bastards shot me! Then they ran away and the other guys ran away and my mom came busting out of the office, shooting at them with a huge gun. WTF.

Oh Hezz, I'm so sorry. I hope it turns out to be nothing.
I'm having a crap day. One of my good friends at work got fired yesterday, and I'm really bummed about it. Also my mom had an abnormal mammogram, so she needs to go in for an ultrasound on Monday. The dr said that there's an 80% chance that it's nothing, but I'm still worried sick.
On the upside, I'm working from home today. I'm still in my pj's and I have two weeks worth of Vampire Diaries to watch.

I'm sorry to hear about crappy mornings and worrisome pups.
Awesome! I hope everything goes quickly and smoothly and you're holding those two kiddos before you know it!
Happy birthday to the twin babies Dawg! Vibez to an easy delivery.
Vibez to your mom Kay. That sounds awful.
I always find it funny that people who go to football games end up missing key plays. Give me a warm home, cheap booze, and instant replays. Look at me talking about football like I watch it.
True Story: I get extremely confused any time someone starts talking about the actual Buddha
Good Luck, Dawg!
Hezz, I'm so sorry about Kenz. Vibez that she's just figured out a way to grow an extra leg to replace the missing one.
Yay for Dawg babies!!! Hmm. It sounds weird when I say it that way.
And I just got asked to interview her replacement this afternoon. Blerg. Do you like Vietnamese food, and Will you go to the gym with me are appropriate interview questions, right?

Oooh yay babies!!!!! Good luck, Dawg!!!
My complex just put a very dramatic WANTED poster in every mailbox offering a reward for evidence of who's not picking up after their dog in this region of the complex. I think I know who it is, but I have no evidence. I'm afraid we're going to get blamed, though, because these asses also have a small dog. I guess I'll just have to be extra dramatic with my poop-picking-up so no one thinks I'm not.

Good luck today Dawg!
When people write mm'kay or talk about Kay Jewelers I assume they're talking about me.
How exciting!! Hoping for two healthy babies and a speedy recovery for you.

I hope Kenzie is ok Hezz.
Good luck today Dawg! I am really excited to see pictures.
I am so happy this week is almost over. Work has been the suck this week.
