Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow

so
here we are
in the PNW
up to our eyeballs in
white out conditions

people on this island
just don’t know how to drive in this stuff
they just really freak out
what a hoot!

I went for coffee with my riding club this morning
the 20 min trip home took well over an hour
and people are just getting outta there cars
and leaving them in the middle of the road
and walking away

I swear I didn’t get above 30 kms alla way home
in the “old lady mobile”

One thing about driving an old car
is that it’s built like a tank
and heavy enough to not need sandbags
hehehehe

I’m comin up the highway on my way home
and there’s a lady in a brand new Infinity
sitting broadside on the road
over both North bound lanes

the lady was standing beside the car weeping
cos she couldn’t get it straightened out on the road
I put on my 4 ways and got out
told her to try straightening out her wheels
and turning slowly
she was having any of that and just
continued to wail like it was armagedon
so I turned it for her….
people like that give women drivers a bad name!

I get to the bottom of the hill for the turn off to my burb
and there’s bumper to bumper cars on the highway
standing still
like parked

so I drove around the long way
thereby missing the big hill
but here I am on my way along the street I live on
and here comes a guy
walking his dog
in shorts
a tshirt
and flip flops

Gotta love them Canadians eh?

boredom and the weather

after 3 years of
spending each and every day
going like
a bat outta hell

I’m finding myself bored
the new job is boring
there’s no doubt about it

I wonder if
I might have made an error
thinking that this job
would be exciting

all of this is
of course
compounded by the fact
that it’s raining
cats and dogs this month
so I’m not riding

and we all know that
this makes the WyzWmn
a very kranky person :o)

the people I work with
are pretty taken with themselves
and have control issues

and I’m still waiting to get my desk moved
so I haven’t moved in yet

I remember when my cousin
started working there 2 years ago
she went thru the same thing
that whole “there’s not enough to do”

but I bet that I will make this job
more interesting or exciting
I bet it’s just gonna take some time

and in the meantime
them granola eaters I work with
won’t know what hit em!
