9. I managed to get in on time
but I didn't get in at all yesterday. I had to get my car appraised from the branch that fell on it, and I had to get some laundry done as I was running out of clean clothes after not having power for about 80 hours.

25. I think I'm gonna take this time to make my first batch of loco-mead.
Or as I'm going to call it, "Loki's Helfire." It'll be what's called a capsicumel. Sweet mead with hot peppers added. :evilgrin:

I'll also try to mend my jacket, what with winter being here and all. I've got my leather awl and whatnot around here somewhere, just gotta find it.

Beyond that... relaxation. That is all. :)

16. I decided to just take the whole day off.
It's nice and grey here too. And quiet... very quiet. Not too many people risking their cars out on the roads today.

I did see a bird on my balcony, and gave him some leftover muffin. :)

28. No one of those kind of bosses.
He does not realize, one of us gets hurt trying to make it to work, to meet his demands and we are suing.

I hate DFW area when it is icy. Remember 1990 and the ice and snow up there when I was at UTA. I was wearing a tanktop the night before while I was at the library studing for a speech final. woke up that morning, and it was freezing cold, and then the ice started. Had to drive home in it, that was a lot of fun.

18. I would have gone in late...
but I found out last night I'm only getting half of my 2nd quarter bonus... on the 31st.

They can bite me.

20. That sucks!
Sometimes, I'm almost thankful bonuses don't exist in my job. I know how frustrated I would feel when they get messed with!

24. Hourly is better
Although being a commuter, there's no such thing as just picking up an extra hour. More hours means at least two days away from home.
