 I hate working.

We got about 4 inches of snow and freezing rain (there's still flurries), and only a delayed opening. So I am back at work. Last night, all the townships had pretty much decided to cancel school in anticipation of all the snow (some people got about 10 inches, but HOW would they know that for sure, ya know?). So now I'm thinking... maybe I should give up the pay and the potential for layoffs and forgo industry work. If I were a teacher, I'd still be in bed right now. *sigh*

I didn't order any tongues for today because you know... optimism. Go figure. The one day I decide to let go of all my bitter cynicism (most of which is feigned) and grasp onto optimistic hope... is the one day Reality decides to remind me that who am I kidding? So now I must go find something and be "productive."

Last night, I found out that my friend, the only other person in my lab that I was slacking off as much as me... she defended her masters in December and graduated this month. She's still there for her PhD (which so isn't going to happen because she doesn't want to), but DAMN. I was supposed to finish before her! And now I'm the last one. Well, last except for my other friend, but he's married to a doctor and now playing house in Maryland. GRRR.

Also... thanks to gahnc, I am spoiled spoiled spoiled for the next few eps of 24. And DAMMIT! Take.It.Back. I tried to stop reading. I honestly did. But these stupid eyes of mine just kept going and going and going. And now I hate myself. Ok, I'm still kinda squealing and gasping and denying different aspects of the spoilerage, but.... DAMMIT!!!!!

*meep* I wish I didn't know.

'Cuz dude. Those are some twisteriffic twisty twists, ya know.
