"Winter Mix" == Chinese Water Torture

Cambridge weather today has been more difficult than anticipated. It started this morning with some snow. Nothing too bad, maybe like 3-5 inches. Then, weather retardedness started. It decides to start getting warmer, and raining buckets of rain. BUCKETS! So, now the snow is melting in the rain, and it's raining. It's melting & raining so fast that it's not draining properly. Plus the snow is blocking the water from getting to the drains. So, now there are slush puddles. That are the size of Texas. TEXAS SLUSH PUDDLES!!

I had a hat on, my winter hat, which is wool. So, it's raining, and it's getting caught in the ribbing of the wool and staying on my forehead. And it starts dripping down my face between my eyes. Ice cold water. Dripping down my face == Chinese water torture.

It was difficult.

And now for the Weekend update, with your host: Tina Fay

I only wish I had the ingenuity that Tina Fay has in her writing... I'm afraid I'm a desperate lot and most often any attempts at being humorous fall flatter than the breasts in the Itty Bitty Titty Committee. Fortunately (or unfortunately depending on how you look at it), this weekend was relatively tame. Lots of drinking -- but not that exciting. Didn't really get to meet a lot of new people.

While I'm waiting impatiently to get into the single stall in the ladies room -- I recieved the most amazingly wretched drunk pickup line weirdness. "Will you marry me." Me: "Excuse me are you talking to me?" Druken boy: "Yeah, will you marry me?" Me: "Um no, I don't even know you. I don't even live here." Drunken boy: "Me either." Me: "Um okay -- so I just want to pee." Drunken boy: "But will you ...

Nicest Weather EVER!

The ride to work this morning was amazing. It was some of the nicest weather that I've seen in a long time. Almost 60 deg F, sunny, just nice. I want more of this weather. Bought tickets today for BOSTON! I'm in major need of a mini-break and in major need of getting away from work for a few days. I'm so excited to go back! I miss it sooo much. It's hard living somewhere you don't like. It just makes me think of looking for another job so that I don't have to live here anymore. But I'm not even partially vested yet -- so I need to stay at least a full year to become at least partially vested. *Sigh* Work stucks today for so many reasons. I'm glad it's friday. And I'm really glad I get to go to Boston next weekend. Yeah for Boston!
