SNOW DAY!!!
The storm knocked out the electricity at my office. So I got to spend the day hanging around the condo. I didn't do much. I cleaned, watched some Grey's Anatomy & Ugly Betty that I missed.
There were a lot of sirens this morning. And the smell of burning (fireplaces, I'm sure). I think these are related phenomena. People were firing up fireplaces for the first time this winter and hadn't taken care of them properly, ipso facto--fire.
Hooray for three day weekends. Oh wait, did I say THREE? I meant four. I had three and a half days of vacation left for the year, and I thought not working anymore Mondays sounded like a pretty good plan. We have our team meetings on Mondays, so I agreed to call in for the meetings. My boss asked if I was okay with that since I would technically be off, and we agreed that I can trade that time to bulk my half day up to another full day off. So I still have one vacation day up in the air. Maybe Friday the 15th. I decided not to try to take the time off during the week after Christmas, just because it's so slow in the office then that I'd get a lot done and nobody would bother me.
Okay, now I'm depressed. I just found out that Jeff Dunham is sold out entirely and I hadn't gotten the tickets yet. Crap. Most of the time this would be no big deal, people cancel all the time, but this is a "special engagement" so you could only reserve tickets with a credit card.
What double sucks is that I TRIED to call and reserve tix on Wednesday night, but my phone died while I was talking to the guy TWICE, back-to-back. Then I felt like too much of a jackass to call a third time. Grrr.
Seriously, I am completely depressed about this. I have a knot in my stomach.
I'm going to see if they have a wait list.
