This is how I feel this morning. *

ANNOYED WALLABY. IN SNOW.

The snow, actually, I'm perfectly fine with (unlike that poor cranky wallaby) though it is falling and did cause me to slip a few times on my way to work. The real problem is that I woke up this morning at 7:25, the time at which I am normally arriving at work.

GET THIS: I was showered, dressed, and out the door seven minutes later, which is one in the eye for people who ask me why I lay out my clothes and pack my lunch the night before. EFFICIENCY!

I did forget my lunch, though. Damn.

Anyhow, given that I work with a bunch of cowards who are afraid of a little snow, I'm one of the few people in the office today and thus I get to take a little time to stop and smell the internet flowers like Honey Never Spoils, a blog in which an intrepid young woman is going through her grandmother's recipe box and making food from it. (thanks ScrivenerCollider!)

I am also spending the morning writing a DC comics/Torchwood crossover, because I lost a bet with Jean and she's a sadist. :D

I don't like to think I have a 'tude or anything, but sometimes I do greatly relish the opportunity to use my THIS DAY IS MORE THAN FIRED icon.

No one thing today has been especially bad, but apparently everyone at the office DID come in, they just came in late, and are thus trying to get more done in less time. At one point today both my phones were ringing and three interview candidates -- who weren't even supposed to see each other, let alone make casual conversation -- were standing at my desk.

WHY DID EVERYONE EVEN GET OUT OF BED. Can't they see it's snowing like balls out? The only reason I'm here is that someone had to sit by the unlocked front door and prevent thieves from robbing us! And you know why that's stupid? THE THIEVES STAYED HOME BECAUSE IT'S SNOWING LIKE BALLS OUT.
