So, in case any of you were unaware (since some of you probably are, since you do not all live on this half of the planet), something like half of North America has been getting lots and lots of snow recently! And here is no exception! And sometimes they even get the sidewalks cleared before more is dumped down upon us!
But not always.
But that is not the point! The point is that the snowbanks on the sides of the roads are getting out of control - a surprising number of them are as tall as me, and all of them are over half my height - so we're talking at least 3 feet of snow. EVERYWHERE. Or at least everywhere near a road. (Or so it was on Thursday. I did not go outside today due to LAZY AND IN PAIN FROM ANKLE so maybe it's settled a bit more!) So, Tuesday night is the night before recycling is picked up, and it was my week for it, but I got home and said, SCREW THAT THERE IS TOO MUCH SNOW AND NOWHERE TO PUT THIS STUFF. So I informed my roommate the recycling was just going to wait, there were only like 5 things in the bin, anyway, okay.
Well! Wednesday morning, the recycling wasn't picked up. Maybe they're late? Wednesday afternoon, same story. Wednesday evening, IT IS STILL THERE.
Thursday morning there was a, "screw this there is too much snow we can't get to your stuff BRING IT BACK INSIDE" message! Of course, everyone who put their stuff out has neglected this message, so things are getting blown out of the bins and all over the place AWESOME, GUYS. REAL AWESOME. But, ha, the one week I decide it's not worth the effort is the week they decide the same thing.
And then today I can't really claim credit for but shhhh. So I didn't have work! But my manager didn't have next week's hours up yesterday like she was supposed to! So I called to find out my Sunday hours aaand the coworker who answered the phone told me a story! The other coworker on that night had BROKEN A WATER PIPE. So my whole department is basically underwater. BUT I WON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT 'cause I didn't work today and I don't work tomorrow! YAAAY! Seriously. Though I am kind of curious as to how she managed to pull it off, and how flooded things are. But not curious enough to go investigate.
Speaking of abrupt subject changes...

It's been cold again, by the way, but I have finally adapted to it and no longer find the sub-freezing temperatures to be THE MOST EVILEST OF EVILS. I still don't like them and know better than to walk to work when it's too cold, but, eh.
...Also, I am ridiculously thirsty today. DRINKING SO MUCH. I am turning into some sort of strange, tea-drinking arctic camel, maybe!
