THIS IS A SHOUTING THREAD →[More:]So my flight to the UK is canceled because of the snow. I'VE BEEN ON THE PHONE TO ORBITZ FOR OVER AN HOUR AND I STILL HAVEN'T GOT TO SPEAK TO A HUMAN BEING. I can see the remaining flights filling up and there's nothing I can do to get one of the remaining seats. [I wish I'd booked with Travelocity - they usually answer quickly even in bad weather]. *AND* THE ORBITZ CUSTOMER SERVICE AUTOMATED MESSAGES ON THE PHONE FILTERING SYSTEM IS *REALLY*, *REALLY* IRRITATING.

THE FUCKERS HAVE FAILED AT PLOWING/SALTING/SANDING MY CONDO COMPLEX AND I'M REALLY PISSED BECAUSE THERE'S ONLY 2 DUDES OUT THERE RIGHT NOW (ONE WITH A SHOVEL AND THE OTHER WITH A SNOW BLOWER). WE JUST RENEWED THEIR CONTRACT AND THEY ARE COMPLETELY FUCKING IT UP. I FEEL BAD FOR THE COMPANY SINCE IT'S A REALLY SMALL LOCAL ONE, BUT THEY HAVE COMPLETELY LOST IT IN THIS STORM.

ALSO, SINCE HOPKINS CLOSED TODAY, I KNOW THAT LSC CLOSED. AND THAT MEANS THAT I'M GOING TO GET DICKED WHEN I ROLL INTO THE OFFICE TOMORROW (BECAUSE I'M PROBABLY GOING TO GO IN SINCE I WON'T REALLY HAVE A TRUE EXCUSE TO STAY HOME AND MAKING THE PHONE CALLS TO CANCEL MY SHIFT IS MORE PANIC INDUCING THAN JUST FIGHTING THE WEATHER TO MAKE IT IN. I MAY HAVE TO CALL MY FOLKS FOR A RIDE SINCE MY TINY CAR IS ALMOST COMPLETELY COVERED WITH SNOW.

MY BACK IS HURTING. I REALLY DO NOT WANT TO EVEN THINK ABOUT HAVING TO GO HAVE AN MRI DONE TO FIX IT. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY FOR THAT SORT OF SHITFUCKERY. VICODIN, HERE I COME!

MY MOM AND BROTHER CAME UP THIS WEEKEND FOR A PRE-CHRISTMAS. IT'S BEEN A DELIGHT. BROTHER AND I WENT OUT LAST NIGHT AND DRANK TIL WE WERE A LITTLE SILLY, THEN CAME HOME AT AT STUPID FOOD WHILE LAUGHING LOUDLY, HOPING TO NOT AWAKEN MY MOM AND SLEEPING GIRLS. IT WAS FUN!

THERE IS HARDLY ANY FOOD IN MY HOUSE EITHER. WE ATE THE LAST OF THE ORANGES FOR BREAKFAST. FOR LUNCH I MADE A CAN OF BISCUITS THAT HAVE BEEN IN THE FRIDGE FOR TOO LONG AND SCRAMBLED EGGS IN UNSALTED BUTTER, WHICH TASTED SLIGHTLY ODD AND SLIGHTLY SWEET. MY KIDS DO NOT WANT TO LEAVE THE HOUSE IN THE CAR UNLESS THERE IS SOMETHING IN IT FOR THEM (SKATING RINK, ICE CREAM, CHEESEBURGERS...) I WILL DRAG AGAINST THEIR WILL TO THE STORE, UNLESS THEY WANT GATORADE AND INSTANT OATMEAL FOR DINNER.

ALSO, THERE IS SO MUCH TO DO IN SO LITTLE TIME. I AM PROCRASTINATING!
