Juliet
I hereby declare that everyone who has walked through the front door at work today is a selfish jackass. I therefore cast Stench of the Infinite upon them and hope that their dog craps on their rug. Repeatedly.
Bastards.
I told you we were going to get called in.
You're not helping, Voice. I should have told my boss that she was insane and stayed home...
But you're a Class A Wimp and do as you are told.
NOT HELPING.
Pff. Just preaching the gospel of Robert: Chapter 3, Verse 15.
What gets me is that I was ordered to come in only because of one order. One guy who knew that it's crappy outside yet expected his order done anyway. Like I have a crack team of ninja video editing elves working for me while I'm away.
Selfish jerk.
Like it really was that bad this morning. Your Northern relatives and colleagues would probably be laughing at you if they read this.
Yeah, well, they don't have to drive with the same assholes I do. At least the Northerners can at least use common sense in icy conditions. Many Texans, however, lack that knowledge. Did you know that I was less than five feet from getting creamed on 183 this morning?
Duh, I'm in your head, dude.
I was addressing the readers, Voice, not you. Guy was hauling ass over one of the bridges and started spinning around. He came *this* close to smacking into one of we more intelligent drivers who know better than to drive like Mario Andretti on ICY BRIDGES.
C'mon, admit it. You're just pissed because you couldn't sit on your ass and watch movies all day.
No, actually I was starting to go quite mad. Staying home a day or two is good for the soul, but for the better part of a week? Not so much.
The worst part is that I was starting to run out of my food. I could theoretically tap into my roommate's foodstuffs, but that runs the risk of an international incident.
Did I mention that the ice pack on my truck was literally 1.75 inches thick? Took me a good hour to chisel that stuff off.
Well, at least you showed up. Good for you taking the job responsibility you have seriously.
Yeah, well, I still wish the guy's car filled to the brim with week old salmon.
And then you're going to the grocery store, I assume?
If I can. Otherwise, I'm going to have to dig out the Red Ryder and go snipe hunting.
You do realize that there's no such thing as a snipe, right?
Not helping.

There are too! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snipe Cute li'l long-beaky birds, too. The joke of snipe-hunting is not that snipes do not exist at all, but that the victim is taken someplace where the very-real, very-sneaky snipes simply do not live. Since the snipe is such a difficult target -- small, well-camouflaged, good at evasive action and fond of living in difficult terrain -- the victim spends all that time scouring the landscape for an "elusive" bird that just ain't there.
However, to properly comment on your post, I do hope you don't get creamed by a truck-driving nimrod, and that you successfully make it to the store and buy many tasty things. Good luck!
Like you, I am beginning to go mad. Back to the little urchins tomorrow ~ can't wait.
Wonko put a posting and a link about QTV. Hadn't been there in a while. Loved all five episodes of "The Web Show" - You guys are a riot!!!

The funny thing is that locally, the snipe has acquired such mythical status that the true existence of such a creature has been flatly denied by many locals.
I've heard local descriptions of the "snipe" ranging everywhere from a squirrelesque creature to something that resembles a badger/fox hybrid. The "call of the snipe" used to flush out the little beastie has been everything from a shrill "caw-cu-coaii-coaii" to "hey-hey-banoo!"
But now I know that there is indeed such thing as a snipe! Thanks for passing on the info!
And knowing is half the battle! :)
Butterfly Angel:
Thanks for stopping by the site! Glad you dug the webshow. The series was fun as heck to make.
I'm currently working on a site redesign, so hopefully we'll be back in action soon. :)
