Yes, No, Whatever

Yes, we had snow, off and on, all weekend. No, we did not actually get a blizzard. Some meteorological thing happened in the middle of the night Friday and most of the moisture passed us by. We had frigid winds, cloud cover, and intermittent snow all weekend, but I doubt if our total accumulation was more than three or four inches. And, yes, true to typical Colorado weather patterns, today we have bright sunshine, dry roads, and there's a kiss of spring warmth in the air. No, this isn't our last brush with winter. Not as far as I know, anyhow. We're due for another storm later this week.

Weather aside. (I wish I'd been paying attention so I'd know just precisely when it was that I became so interested in weather. When I was younger, I would frequently wake up and be surprised to see six or eight inches of fresh snow. I never paid attention to the weather forecast. Now, sometimes it's the most interesting part of the nightly news.)

No, I have not yet talked with Jason to find out whether or not this Friday is going to be my last day. I hate people who ambush me with complicated questions first thing on Monday morning, so why would I do that to someone else? I plan to hunt him down and chat with him tomorrow.

Today, I don't want to draw attention to myself. There comes a time when the home "touch-up" of my roots isn't cutting it any more and I have to spend the money to have the job professionally done. And, yes, this is that time. I want to slide out ten minutes early, so I'm staying quiet.

I went to lunch, though. (Worth mentioning since it's something I do about once every two months.) It was Fun Bobby's birthday today and a group of people decided to take him to lunch. Since I've done very little voluntary bonding with my co-workers, I went along. (You never know where your next job lead might come from.)

Yes. If I can eat dinner and read a book at the same time I watch television--and be able to follow what passes for a "plot" on the show? It's stupid. Which is why I don't actually watch a lot of television.

No. I disagree with the ending. Booting up my computer is part of my workday. Why should I work an extra ten minutes a day just because the company computer runs like molasses?

I'm a bit at loose ends today. Not knowing how long I'm going to be here - I'm hesitant to start any long-term projects. But it's been so long since I've just done my "normal job" that I can't remember half of what it was I used to spend my time doing....

You could work this week as if you're going to be there for months, and then when he tells you you're not, just hand him the mouse and keyboard and wish him luck *g*

Hee! That's very passive-aggressive - it suits me. :D
