Here’s a nice picture of my truck under a blank of our first snowfall this year. Don’t mind that obstruction in the upper left-hand corner; it’s my satellite dish. I used the six-by-six wooden post my dish is mounted to as a tripod. Here’s another from the front yard, and one taken from the back yard. Frequent readers of my shitty little waste of time will notice that the LTD is still in front of the house. Good to know my redneck gene hasn’t faded with age, eh?
The weather forecasts call for two to six inches of this slippery white fucked-upness. Excellent. In fact, we’re under a Heavy Snow Warning until 10:00am. Why does this shit always seems to fall the night before the morning commute? Mother Nature is a dastardly whore! Luckily, I got a call from Lance, and it appears that we might not be driving in this stuff tomorrow morning… and that’s a good thing.
Yes! I got another call tonight from my manager, and he told me to download a softphone. No commute for us tomorrow! Of course, I don’t have PC headset, so I threw my truck into 4×4, and drove to Wal-Mart to pick one up. The highway seemed wet and passable, but the side streets and parking lots were slushy and slippery. The temperature is supposed to drop overnight, and all this snow and slush will freeze up and make a morning commute about as fun as being anally raped by the Pittsburgh Stealers.
Speaking of the Stealers, I have just six words to say: ha ha ha ha ha ha! Baltimore spanked ‘em! With a record of 4 wins and 7 losses, it’s a pretty safe bet that they won’t even make it back to the playoffs! I doubt Antwaan Randle El and the Bus made the 2005 team a winner. See how well they play without the help of refs? Fuckers! Yes, I refuse to let it die. What of it?
So, since I won’t be at my desk tomorrow, I downloaded Xlite from xten.com, and plugged my new $20 PC headset into my Linux laptop. I could make and receive calls, however, I had no audio. I was getting “device busy” errors. After messing with it for close to 4 hours (and trying different softphone programs) I gave up on it and will use my Windows server as my VoIP phone. I hate when Linux doesn’t Plug-and-play. I get nothing but shit from all my Windows-loving co-workers. Dammit!
Wow! It’s Monday morning now, and there was probably another inch of new snow overnight after my four-by trip to Wal-Mart. It was nice to wake up at 7:30am to start work, instead of the middle of the fucking night. I threw on my Timberland wannabe boots and took a few pictures of all the snow. I took one with a ruler in the snow, and it shows 4 and a half inches. That LTD is useful for something! Here’s another I took looking across the highway, and another, and another, and another. Ain’t it purdy?
UPDATE: The latest weather forecasts from the network affiliates and The Weather Channel say that our Rock is due for seven to ten more inches of snow tonight! Holy fuck, I think I hear Bing Crosby singing Let it Snow outside my window. Oh. No. That’s the WSDOT snow plow sanding the highway. Cripes! It’s 26°F outside now, and it’s supposed to get into the teens tonight, and only make it back to a high of 28°F tomorrow. Thankfully I got those $50 REI socks earlier this year! They’re keeping my toes toasty. Pass the bourbon.
Jim, I wasn’t able to make it into work today either and never mind tomorrow. Maybe you guys will just start working from home and save Bruc3 a ton of cash.
Love the LTD buddy.
Pass the dope!
You Traitor, how could you root for the steelers demise, that is one of the worse things I have ever seen. You need your head examined. I am declaring a fatwa on you and the SeaTurkeys that you root for.
GO STEELERS! Big Ben is my GOD!
The Stealers are crap. The only reason they won the Super Bowl is because the refs screwed the pooch. Big Ben is a panty waist who WISHES he could be a hot shot quarterback! Big Ben’s QB rating: 74.9, and he has the MOST interceptions in the NFL (20) at the moment. Hasselbeck’s QB rating: 81.6, and that’s after missing 4 weeks on the IR.
Hasslebacks rating is so good because he hasn’t had 4 games to screw it up and yes, this year is crap for the Steelers. Next year will be alot better, but the refs were not the biggest reason why the Seahawks lost the superbowl, just the raw fact that they are a horrible team. Take there loss to the Cardinals as a fine example of how great of a team they are. Congratulations for being 1 of 3 teams to lose to them! I guess that the refs screwed them too.
It’s always wonderful to see two men bicker like pmsing hens about football.
That being said, Ben R. needs to go as Q back…after all how smart of a fella can he be to cycle without a helmet, get his brains scrambled then folks wonder why he sucks ass?
As for Hasslebeck, why the fuck does he seem to throw the damn ball to the fuckers who can’t seem to hold on to the motherfucking ball? Hate to see how well they hold onto their morning wood trying to pee…and I’d hate to be their maids cleaning up their messes.
So how bout you boys play nice and just focus on those busty cheerleaders like good arm chair Q backs and leave the game trash talk to T.O. *lol*
