Chinese New Year was successfully brung in! With much wearing of red and eating fried meat. So much fried meat… Anyway, the house was full of people and it was pretty fun.
Snow is yucky. All my east coast friends were right. It piles up on the sidewalks were you want to walk, and it’s dirty and brown and in the way all the time. Stupid snow.
Between the weather and the Random Weekend Construction, I have spent the past four days pulling all sorts of transportation shenanigans in order to be at work on time. My normal train was not running, so I had to take two or three slower ones in order to get where I needed to go. Even so I was late to work twice, once by almost 40 minutes, when a commute that normally takes 45 took nearly two hours. For that I blame dead presidents and their need to have a day. Curses!
But all that is past now and the snow is beginning to melt. We’re supposed to get rained on tomorrow. Oh goody.
I made some friends at work by bringing graham crackers and cheezits for lunch. To this I can only conclude that Junk Food makes you Popular. Which would look awesome on a t-shirt. Someone should get on that.
Still looking for a room. It’s a lot like looking for a job, except more stressful, because the job market appears to be a wee bit less competitive than the housing market. But it’s the same damn thing, really, what with the cover-letter writing and the interview process. Gah.
I want some ice cream and I don’t think there is any. Woe is I!
