wasting time

It's Friday and almost the end of the work day.  I'm mentally gone already and not under a deadline so figured I'd post again to pass some time.  It's a cold one again today...a whopping 9 degrees out.  Warmer than yesterday at least. 

We've had some snow and people are driving like utter retards again.  Getting to work was a cluster fuck this AM.  I detoured myself which helped.  Still took over twice as long as normal.  It wasn't a fun drive because my window wipers don't work very well on ice so I had to blast the defrost on high if I was going to be able to partially see where I was going.  I was roasting! 

The only reason I live in the northern Midwest is because I was born here and haven't had enough sense to leave yet.  I'm working on that.  Minnesota is gorgeous in the spring, summer and fall.  I've been in a number of states in the summer and haven't found any that really outshine this area for sheer beauty and climate in the summer.  It is lush.  Just enough humidity.  And so green!  I do love this state in the summer!  In the winter, not so much.  All winter long I dream of summer.  I'm dreaming of it right now.

Today I got new circuit breakers installed at work.  It was a hassle with an electrician wiring my office but so worth it!  I can now print AND have my space heater on simultaneously!  It is fantastic!!!  I will no longer have to freeze on heavy printing days!!  It still thrills me that I can print without shutting my heat off and my power won't go down.  I think it's a little sad that I'm so thrilled by that but there it is...I am!
