Snow Day!

Though there is a bit of guilt in me that there are people at work, I don't feel so bad about not going in today.

At roughly 300am this morning a soft whine that was just out of my sleeping-ear's audible detection became a near roar. Apparently the at&t building across the street required snow clearing that early. I was under the impression that it was some contractor the company hired to do the job and they had somewhere else to be. That still didn't constitute the use of a leaf blower to clear the sidewalk. So... after about a half-hour of the racket I decided to go out and ask how much longer they'd be.

The lady I spoke with looked a little surprised to see anyone else out in the cold with them. She apologized and assured me they were done with the machine. In a soft rage I went home and unable to sleep sought an email address for at&t. I found none. So, I sought other avenues of contact and stumbled upon the direct email for the CEO. I await my reply anxiously.

Wrote an article about Johnny Depp's new movie for Associated Content and have already taken in 100+ hits. I think I'm getting the hang of this SEO thing.

Cleared the drive with the help of Neighbor (I think his name is Rick, but we always call each other "Neighbor"). He asked if I needed a hand, but I assured him I'd shovel it myself. He has a proper snow blower. Well, despite my answer he insisted on helping, which I'm grateful for. The city plows had compacted snow at the end of our drive pretty well and his blower cut right through it. My plastic shovel would have had a hell of a time at it.

So, all that's left for it is some reading, some cocoa, and some Ramen noodles. Maybe I'll write some too.

If you have to, travel safely.
