(no subject)
I managed to get out of the parking lot without much incident this morning. It took a while to clean the snow off my car, and I was afraid the dunes of snow behind it were going to be a problem, but I pretty much just backed up until my car stopped moving and then I was able to pull out. It was a little terrifying to drive to work with peolpe flying down down the still-slush and ice-covered roads like they were a racetrack.
I stopped at Walmart after work and got cool stuff, like a new snow brush and some pants. And a humidifier. It's pretty dry in here and I feel kind of dessicated. I'm sure it hasn't helped that I've been handling boxes in the warehouse. It's cool, though...I pretty much stopped helping back there. Anyway, I think the humidifier will help, and even if it doesn't, it makes a nice noise. I might get one for the other bedroom, too, so the instruments don't dry out. A lot of the stuff at the store is in kin dof rough shape because it's been so dry. We had a couple cracked guitars in the acoustic room, even, but we finally got some humidifiers in there, too.
Today was free magazine day at work. I assume this is something that happens at every place that has magazines, but every month we have to tear the covers off the old ones and send them back for credit, and the bulk of the magazine gets thrown away, or put in my car. It's an admittedly small perk, but I save a lot on magazines. Or I get to read magazines that I would never pay for, depending on your perspective. I also remembered to bring home some of the other free stuff I got at work. A lot of times when vendor reps come through, they give us free crap, and I usually take it, because most of them are assholes, and I deserve a t-shirt for having to talk to them. I got a couple of Monster Cable t-shirts and a Remo drum-head t-shirt. The coolest one, though is a nice work-shirt that says I am Ampeg certified that you're only supposed to get if you take a test and are, in fact, Ampeg certified. I can probably even get away with not tucking it in, which makes me pretty happy. It's the simple things in life, you know?
On that note, the highlight of yesterday was when I came home to pick up Erin at lunch so we could get my car, and after all her complaining about how I listened to them for a month straight (which, in fairness, is true...), I totally busted her listening to Coheed & Cambria.
The bedroom already feels nicer with the humidifier running, but I don't think I'm enjoying it half as much as the cat. Meowie has been sitting there watching it ever since I got home.
