Weather...Fuck it.

Well, the condo association decided to ask us to move our cars and started plowing out our driveways. Cool thing is they're using a pair of John Deere 544J Wheel Loaders!



Now THAT'S proper snow removal, by Crom!

[Lisa]

See, I feel rooked, because I really do love big snowfalls, and we didn't get squat. I know it's gross and messy in the days after, but the day it happens, it's awesome. I mean, I have to study, and tomorrow's a huge "Law & Order" marathon, which would have been so much fun with a snowstorm! I guess it's just as well - no way would George be able to get over here if it snows hard, so I should probably not push my luck.

The dirt job I mentioned in the Decades thread? Yeah, I got to play with one of those (childhood dream - realized).

First a great Billy Gibbons story, now this. OK, now I'm all jealous and stuff.

I worked for that company for almost 6 years. It took me 4 years before I finally got the courage to ask the ops manager for a lesson in operating those loaders. He laughed and asked me why (further elaborating he said "You work in the office, you don't need to learn this."). Trying to think of a valid reason, I latched onto inventory (one of my accounting duties was a physical inventory - god almost impossible with HUGE mounds of mulch and soil). He looked me in the eye and said "You just want to play in the dirt." I sighed and said "Yep." He taught me that afternoon.

I love it! I've never been a big ZZ Top fan, so I think I would have preferred to learn how to run the loader!

[Nathan]

Up to 8 more inches coming. Of snow. Perverts.

[Abraham Smashington]

We have 5 today and 2-3 more tomorrow. Fucking winter.

[Nathan]

Yeah this season can suck a fat cock. It is really affecting my job. And my back. Fucking shoveling. If we get as much snow as they say, I don't know if I'll be able to get my car out of my alley.

[Timothy225]

Supposed to be getting a Nor'easter Tuesday night into Wednesday, so I'm hoping that means I can work (HA!) from home Wednesday.

Shoveling snow and moving cars, while a pain, is a fair trade for me.

[Matt]

another 2 hour drive to work today.

RAGE.

According to KQRS, we're supposed to get ANOTHER 14 INCHES of snow in the next 24 hours. The pisser? I pretty much HAVE to be on site in order to do the testing that I need to accomplish this week.

[Ed Hocken]

Reported to be 63 degrees today. This is why I pay over $1k on rent.

[Matt]

Ed...WHY are you here in this thread? Seriously, it's like having a blind man comment in a thread about pigments.

[Ed Hocken]

I don't know.

[Timothy225]

Hey, Ed's suffering, too. Poor man has to live in 63 degree weather, with all that sunshine and clear skies. I understand when the weather gets that low, he might opt not to wear shorts, and may, MAY I mind you, have to sport a light windbreaker.

Ed, let us know if you need someone to get you through this, buddy.
