It's Oh So Quiet

Notice how quiet I am when I'm not whining about something? Sorry I've not been active this week but I'm kind of at one of those loss for words moments. Things are good, work is keeping me busy (ugh!) and I'm pretty much over winter. We haven't had a very bad winter but it has taken its toll. I'm not a fan of January in general, this one in particular has been a wild ride. Glad it's almost over.

What's new with you?

Brr...

File Under: Baby it's cold outside

Current temperature is -4. The sun is shining. Looks sometimes deceive. ;)

Apparently the boilers at work went down for a while yesterday and while the vital areas were kept warm, some parts of the building got pretty cold. Either we're still down one boiler or one has failed again because my office is bordering on cold. While I don't have a thermometer in here, I would estimate that it's about 67 degrees in my office. I'll let you know when it's so cold in here that I could cut glass with my nipples.

Snow

File Under: Gnome's Winter Vacation


It has snowed three times since Sunday. We're supposed to get more tonight, more tomorrow and more Monday night.
I'm over it.
Gnome is too.

Super Tuesday

File Under: VOTE!

Today is "Super Tuesday." 24 states are having primaries or caucuses to elect a Democrat and a Republican candidate for President of the United States. I was out the door at 6:45 this morning, casting my ballot for Hillary. While it's evident that Senator Obama will win in Illinois (he's already been projected as the winner), it was important to go and vote so that she would get a share of delegates. GO HILLARY!

In other "Super Tuesday" news, Chicago is under a Winter Storm Warning. Depending upon which forecaster one listens to, the city and surrounding areas to the north and west could be blanked under anywhere from 4 - 15 inches of snow. FUCK! My approach to weather is this; I listen to multiple forecasts and pick the one I like best. Tonight's winning forecast was told by Jerry Taft on Channel 7. His forecast sounded most favorable for the city, 4-5 inches. I can deal with 4-5 inches. I'm no size queen, I'm fine with an inch or less. Snow really hasn't begun falling as of this writing. I guess we'll just have to see how much is on the ground when I wake up tomorrow morning.
