Skiing!!!!!!!
*heavy sigh* Ski seasons starts today. Both Loveland and Arapahoe Basin open their lifts at 8:30 this morning. And me? I'm at work. *more sighing* Yesterday I joked with a co-worker that I was calling in sick to go skiing. But obviously I didn't do that. Even if I hadn't made the joke no one would have believed I was sick and not on the slopes. And since I leave for B's tomorrow, I really need to be here today to leave my desk somewhat in order before I go.
But skiing! Only 35 days until Winter Park opens. Four more weeks before Chris's schedule changes and we have no days off together until mid-April.
Maybe skiing next weekend. We shall see. There's only one run and the terrain park open at A-Basin today and only three runs at Loveland, so it's not like I'm missing great tracks or anything. It's just the idea of being in line first thing. There are people who camped overnight at the base area to try to be on the first chair. This is hardcore tradition.
I might see about taking off for WP opening day next month. But it'll be a Wednesday too and that's my busiest day of the week. Maybe I can come in and do my reports, run the order, leave to ski a few runs, come back after lunch and finish the order. Hmm.... something to think about.

I got called into the boss's office yesterday afternoon. We talked about a lot of stuff and overall it was good. But somebody told her that my attitude hasn't been very good lately. WTF? Look around and you'll see half the staff have way worse attitudes than me at my worst. I told her I need my mini-vacation this weekend to recharge. I have a pretty good feeling that the person who ratted me out is our bookkeeper. There's no love lost between the two of us. (I am so glad I ended up not having to go to Grand Junction with her for computer training. I think I would have either intentionally crashed the car if I'd been driving, or opened the door and thrown myself out of the car if she'd been driving.)
But I did get to vent out my frustrations and explain just why I've been pissy lately. I didn't hesitate to call out people by name for the people who haven't been doing their work and have basically been foisting it off on me. I can't get my work done because I'm doing other people's stuff and the boss has things she really needs me to get to. So it was good. But annoying.

And finally, last night's NCIS rocked my world.
