Thursday was moving day. Once again we are being relocated. Half the staff (including me) is going to a building in Farmington, and the other moving to the building where we recently moved our main data center.
So, it was a day of packing up, labeling and loading boxes onto skids, shrink wrapping them, etc. Worse, I’m the official PM for this so had to coordinate and oversee everything.
But, despite a few hiccups, everything seemed to go well. I ate what was probably my last lunch at home. I was just about 1/2 mile from home before, now I’ll be 8-10 miles away.
It started snowing when I was returning from lunch. It was coming down pretty hard and sticking to the ground when I left work at 4:00 PM. The roads were slippery, too. But it seemed to stop about 8:00 and I doubt if we picked up another inch.
However, we are supposed to pick up 2-5 inches of snow Friday night into Saturday. Normally, I wouldn’t care, but I have to drive to the doctor’s Saturday morning. This could get dicey!
I had lasagna for dinner and watched TV until the news was over at 11:30 PM. I woke up for a bathroom break at 2:30 AM and never did really fall back asleep. Friday will be a trial...
It never stops, does it...20 miles a day = at least a gallon of gas or 3-4 dollars a day.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that news
If end up buying lunch ever, check out Tim Horton's. I found their food accidentally but have been impressed the couple times I ate there. They have soups, sandwiches and wraps. Ingredients taste fresh and it's comparatively cheap - about $4 for the combo. Another bonus is most people don't know they have food, so I've never had to wait long.

ReplyDeleteCrap! Now there's two of me! Or wait, how does post increment work in the blogosphere?
ReplyDelete@ Amer: Thanks for the sympathy. Yes, it sucks!
ReplyDelete@ Jake: Thanks for the tip. I never knew that.
@ Jake Jake - I thought post increment in the blogosphere worked as short hand for "yeah, I second that!"
ReplyDeleteI discovered Tim Horton's lunch foods when I used to travel in Canada with Joe. They definitely have good affordable foods.
@The Captian and Jake...
ReplyDeleteIf you haven't tried the new egg white, ham and cheese on an English muffin...please do! it's great and only $1.99
