Snow and Cold...

Yep, I'm sick of the snow and cold. Thursday morning it took me over an hour to get to work and Friday morning it took me over an hour to get to work. It was the first time that I hated my drive to work. It usually takes me about 25-30 minutes to get to work in the morning, but when you're not stuck in traffic, it doesn't really seem that long. In the summer, when I'm in my Mazda MX-5, I really don't care how long it takes me to get to work. Yesterday and today I got to work early, so it took me no time at all since no one was on the road.

I left work early yesterday. It was snowy, but that's not the reason I left. I got a call about 3:15 from my dh. He locked himself out of the house when he got home. How did this happen? He was in the trunk of his car and when he shut the trunk, his keys were in it. In our 1988 Grand Marquis, the car has to be on in order to pop the trunk, so - he was locked out. I had just got out of a very long meeting, so I told him I would leave to let him in the house. (Since I was at work early, I didn't worry about leaving early). I was about half way home in the bad weather when he called me back and said that he had found the spare key and was warmly inside the house. I think his exact words were, "I'm in - but I suppose you have already left work." YOU THINK? So I decided just to go on home.

I was in a big meeting yesterday. We were meeting with a creative agency. The meeting was informative, but I was having a hard time concentrating. Before I tell you what I did to help me concentrate, let me give you a little background information. At work, my department is big on "That's what she said." For example, someone might say (in a very innocent way) "This is really hard" and then someone else in the office would say, "That's what she said." So, in my big meeting yesterday, I starting writing down stuff that people said that after they said it, I would be able to say, "That's what she said." It was quite fun and I had a pretty nice list. I also kept track of many other things such as when someone used a really big word and when my boss did something funny. I did manage to pay attention for the rest of the meeting. For all my hard work I did in the meeting, I was awarded a Schrute Buck.

I'm going to the local college basketball game tonight with Francine. We were going to go anyway, but I managed to get a pair of tickets from work. AWESOME! IT's going to be a great game and I can't wait to go.

Have a good Tuesday....
