Yay for holidays! Boo to weather!
So, as partly_bouncy pointed out, I haven't been around in a while...or so it would seem (mwaahahaha). Sadly, there hasn't been all that much going on around here, just preparing for the holidays (more on that later) and commuting working.
My parents are supposed to be here in a few hours, and Kate's brother was supposed to be here last night...boo to the weather for canceling both their flights. The parents are "stuck" in Boulder through the weekend and wouldn't be able to get here until after their return flight was supposed to leave...bah! So, I don't get to see them this xmas, but they may be coming out in January or February for a long weekend. Kate's bro ended up being able to come on Sunday, so I'll finally get to play with a Wii then...maybe.
Work is going good, hopefully I'll get hired on full time in the near future. I desperately need a new vehicle, I could go looking today, but nuts to that, I'm going to set up the xmas tree (ie rearrange the living room) instead...and maybe keep cleaning for the sake of cleaning...or at very least run the dishwasher as I play some video games :D
So a word on the Columbia River Gorge for ODOT...FUCKING PLOW I-84 BETWEEN WYATT AND THE DALLES!!! IT FUCKING SUCKS!!! Seriously...almost died multiple times yesterday and nary a plow in sight (and there's only like an inch of ice! toss some salt on that shit and be done with it!). Worse than any conditions in Illinois, and far worse than any in my 2+ months of commuting. Absolutely horrid...I dare say it should have been closed...then then I couldn't work...or go home :(
So, time to rearrange (or drink coffee) (or chat with ppl) (or watch Foster's)
