  • Who else was skipping work today?

    I guess I'm getting old. Used to be fun to fight bad weather conditions, but today I just commute from home.

    Had a week of -30'c (-45'c w/ windchill) a couple weeks ago here, it sure was hard to bother to get out of bed, but I was still in the office.

      I'm skipping today. Nothing at work so important I need to risk being involved in an accident.

          My electric start snow blower is worth its weight in gold today!

          The snow is over the dogs heads for pee time.

            Yeah you guys in Ontario got hammered by that storm, we're just getting it but it combined with the one from Boston too! Apparently we're getting around 40cm of snow so that should be a good time.

              Worked today...it's only 4km door-to-door, and if a little snow is gonna stop me from going to work, the girlfriend will really start to question why the hell I bought a 4WD truck.



              Besides, I'm going in tomorrow for some OT, so missing today would sorta defeat the purpose.

                so glad I stocked up on beers.
                of course, didn't stop me from taking the Volvo out for some donuts in the parking lot!
                Swedish cars love the snow... go figure!

                btw: cute pups Canada.

                    I drove 55Kms one way to work, as usual, in this mess. Did the same thing to get home, took 1.5 hours, and had to shovel for 45 minutes to get into my driveway. Good times, good times. Oh well, I've been having an awful bout of insomnia lately (sleeping 1-2 hours a night for the past 2 weeks), so I could use the exercise. Might be just what I need to get some quality sleep, at long last!

                      I remember that week with (not so) fond memories; grudgingly going to work @ 2:30 in the morning...the coldest part of the day brrrr.

                        I did not move a muscle today. I had some stuff lined up. Being as i was snowed in at 7am anyway i decided to try to relax and catch up on reading. Every time i started to fall asleep my dog would either start barking or my phone would ring. Its 11pm now and i've been awake for almost two days. I'll surely pass out soon hehe. :\

                            Only took 1 ½ hours to dig out the driveway and side walk.
                            My back is now killing me.

                              Oh great the damn plow just filled in the end of my drive way.
                              Well back to shovelling after this java break.
