Impending snow doom today. I’ve got my 14 gallons of milk and 36 loaves of bread. I should be able to survive.
Balmy 30F, time for a ride before the rain-apocalypse and wind-Armageddon begin. Also, last day of work until 2023. so that's nice.
Mild here in Copenhagen didn't even need a winter jacket today. Fresh haircut and bought some nice champagne and wine for Christmas.
HEY. I ran 5 easy miles before sunrise. I was going to take tomorrow off from work but I have been summoned to "storm duty" with heavy rain and wind rolling through. Basically I have to go stand by downed power lines and warn people not to drive over them, because people are fucking stupid and need to be told this.
How did you manage to get involved in that?
Will head into work later for bowling and food to celebrate the holidays with the team. Which is okay with me.
Otherwise, time to switch over into Christmas mode and give my mind a break.
Not a fan. I feel a little better after seeing Montana, but still. Glad I got my new tires yesterday, that's a little less sketchy.
31 and flurries up at ol snowshoe. wifey's out; gotta get the teens rolling sometime soon. guess i'll chill in the condo and do a bit of work and drink a beer or three.
wife got an email notification from the dispensary about a holiday sale. that's right, weed is on sale.
coffee, guaraldi, and starting to learn FEA.
Every employee has an emergency storm assignment, which takes priority over your regular job if you are summoned. This is the first time in the 2.5 years I've been working here that I've been called to duty. I knew when I took the job that this was part of the deal. They only call upon us office folk when major outages and carnage are predicted, in which case it is "all hands on deck."
I am actually lucky that my emergency job is easy. I've got two employees who are stuck organizing housing and food for all of the out of town line crews. That is a major pain in the ass.
will you wear your super bright light up running vest?
I, too, will be bowling later. But not for work, we’re celebrating some holiday season birthdays. It’ll be all ugly sweaters, hot dogs, and Pabst Blue Ribbon for me and Teh Spousal Unit™ this evening.
But first, we’ll try for a few laps at the local ski hill. These new boots ain’t gonna break theyselves in.

weathermonkey report: awoke to upper 20s. going into the 50's today. will start dropping to artic temps midday tomorrow. sadly the precipitation appears as if it will conclude prior to being cold enough to snow. kill list.
it cold
:::anger is intensifying:::
Shoddy work by my direct report is starting to reflect on me and I'm getting pissed. I am at a loss at the moment as I've been clear what he's been doing and it should be clear what side I'm on at this point. Maybe it's just holiday stress?

no. bike ride.
what boots did ya get?
My mom just texted that she's never been below 10* before (also here). Today is gonna be funny.
Also, Layla is refusing to go outside. She went out at 12, very unhappily, I might add. Just stuck her nose out, looked at me, and turned around.

people around here complain about the cold when its 35°F. :laughs in Rochester:
Death always wins.
Although it might be over the top and hard to come by. A Chuck E Cheese costume would be perfect.
our cats, on the other hand, are attracted to the cold. we need to get them leash trained.
