how do you like dem apples?: December 2009

We got about 18 inches of snow at my house. Which equaled lots of shovelling. Does shovelling have one or 2 L's? Whatever.
I also helped shovel out neighbors that I had never met before. Good times. And I refused to take money or anything from her, so she gave me a hug instead. That's the best payment anyhow. But today, my shoulder is killing me. I'm getting too old for this crap.

Kim and I did drive around in it all yesterday. I love driving in the snow. My favorite is that I'm one of only a few cars - while everyone else is in their big, tough, 4 wheel drive vehicles. I don't need one!! And yesterday, a dude is in front of me at a stoplight (on a hill) and is spinning. Dumbass if you can't drive in it, stay home. I had to wait for trucks to pass us, then I backed down the hill some, to the pull around him and pass him. The inner me honked and waved at him, while the outside me put on a "I'm sorry" face as I passed him. LOVE IT!

This is why I continue to drive Jettas. I'm afraid that if I get a different vehicle, it's just not going to be the same.

Today I'm at work, and of course one of my coworkers is again out with another lame excuse. (this happens almost EVERY week) Today, as expected, it's because she's snowed in. In NOVA. Yeah right. They didn't get the snow we got. She's full of it. Last week it was a panic attack, and the week before that she thought she had appendicitis. I'm getting tired of covering her cases for her, but unfortunately, my boss isn't doing a damn thing about it. Whatever. I've even grown a set and complained to the boss about it.

I'm in a classical music phase. I've been listening in my car, while running, and at work. It's quite relaxing. You should try it. Rachmaninov is great (Rhapsody on a theme of Paganini) as well as Bolero by Ravel. Both are my favorites.
