Let It Fucking Snow

I just got in from shoveling the driveway. Took me an hour to fix the kick-ass job Mr-Bare-Minimum did before I got home this evening. He left just enough room for the car to fit. Nice passive-aggressive job there, pal.

Yeah, I'm kind of pissy. It started snowing about noon and work let everyone go about 1:30. From there, my normal 40 minute commute took me three and half hours. At one point, it took me an hour to move 1.3 miles (I measured). I came through Canton Center and that was my fucking mistake.

I didn't break 10 mph for at least 12 miles, most of it was so slow my speedometer didn't move from zero. At every side street, people trying to merge in. The best is where they try to turn on red, into a traffic flow that isn't moving. So they're sticking out, blocking traffic. Every light I came to went through no less than six green-yellow-red cycles, mostly because of these jackasses.

Hey, Fucktard! YOU'RE part of the problem!

Three and a half hours in traffic that isn't moving. I mean it's just about mind-numbingly boring. At one point, the SUV in front of me opened up and two girls jumped out and walked for about 20 minutes before it caught up to them and they piled back in. I wish I could have done that. About the only highlight was the fact I was in the new Highlander. It's got 4-wheel drive and when we got to this big hill in Sharon, I had no problem getting up and around the other cars that were spun-out around me (seriously, it was like a slalom course).

So there's over a foot of snow. I got the driveway wide and clear, which will be nice in the morning. Especially, since it's stopped snowing, I shouldn't have too much trouble in the AM. I'm praying they don't cancel school. Get up and trek your asses out there...

I still haven't slept. I'm still behind on work, but I'm catching up. My arms are tired, but I feel awake after being out there. Everything is up and down and I wish to Christ it wasn't almost Christmas.

Yeah, I'm still pissy.
