Working on a Holiday Weekend

Here I am at work, waiting for some updates to the system we're testing. I wish this day were more productive than it is, but when you're relying on others to do programming fixes and such, you have to play the waiting game.

It looks like we'll be back here tomorrow too. Sucks as this is the last long weekend until Memorial Day. The only nice thing about coming to work on a Sunday morning is there was very little traffic.

Anyway, how did everyone fare with the "ice storm" last week? It took me almost 3 hours to get home from work. In the first hour of my trip, I had only made it 8 miles from the office. And I had to go to the bathroom soooo bad. Once traffic started moving again (it had been closed due to an accident 5 miles ahead of where we were stopped), I didn't want to get off the road to locate a bathroom. I just wanted to get home... two hours later. This terrible drive home made me consider keeping adult diapers in the car. Can they hold a full bladder's worth?

Not much else going on. Oh! We did have Valentine's Day last week, huh? John gave me some orange tulips and a card. I just got him a card. We had dinner at Hard Times Cafe. Not very fancy or romatic, is it? It was very nice. I prefer that to having to deal with long waits for a table. Don't get me wrong... I do enjoy a fancy meal! I also can't be bothered sometimes to deal with the public.

For those of you who are off tomorrow, enjoy the day! And for those of you who have to work, enjoy the light traffic.
