I hate the Weatherman!

So, as I was sitting and eating my mini-wheats this morning I heard on the radio a truly evil and despised four letter word here in Canada... "snow". Yup, that's right, "snow" said the weatherman this morning. Now, this four letter word nearly had me choking on my breakfast as I stared in disbelief at the TV screen. Now, it's September, still fall here in the Northern portion of the continent, so this is not a word you wish to be hearing bandied about. It is a word that, most especially at this time of year, strikes terror into our Canuck hearts.

So, sitting there with my mouth gaping, he calmly goes on to say that it's only a chance of said "snow" that we'll most likely not be bothered by it. Right... now that it's been said, we're sure to get some. One never... ever... EVER! says that word before November. It's the Murphy's Law of weather, say it and it will happen just to piss you and everyone that know you off, resulting in a bloody beating of you. Well, not quite that, but it's a close approximation of the actual phrase.

I came to work and what is everyone talking about? That's right "snow". Loverly! Peachy! Just freakin' terrific!! *sighs* So, I am digging out my shovel, sealing the windows and getting the furnace ready this weekend, because with the people I know, we should be eight feet under by Monday. From the soon to be white North - Peace out folks... gotta go find my mukluks...

Yup, still kickin'...

It's been awhile, I know... so much to do, unfortunately. Have to say, I haven't been this hectic at work in a long time, takes a bit to find that groove again. But, as with anything, it'll get there eventually, just wish it didn't all have to hit like a lightening strike. Fast and painful - lol!

So yeah, works been insane and home life has been a royal pain in the you-know-what. Been helping I think pretty much every friend I have in town move from one end to the other over the last two weeks. Now, if they'd actually coordinated this better, we could have picked up at one place, dropped it off, moved over about eight blocks and picked up a load to take back in the general direction of the first place. But no... they both have to move, on different days and then, I'm such a sucker, I get sucked in on a third, fourth and fifth move. *rolls eyes* Where is the justice in this?!

Other than that, writing has been slow, not much going on really, been puttering away still on my script, it's not done yet, but will be soon enough. I'm having fun with it still and that's what really matters most. Thinking about the next writing contest that comes around in November NaNoWriMo. It's big, huge and most of my pals have been writing in it for years. I've been considering it, writing a novel is easier than a script after all, not so much of the having to have it all placed just so and sectioned and proportioned and... well, etc, etc, etc.

But that's still two months down the road, but I've got an idea circling the drain (so to speak) that might just work. Now to see if I have any idea if I can take it through to fruition I suppose. I don't know, as I said, still lots of time to putter with the idea and see if it might lead someplace interesting.

Well, until later folks, dinners at the door and I'm starving - Ciao!

Oh where, oh where has the summer gone?

Okay, this is a totally valid question. Where has our summer gone? We had it and then it went poof! July was the hottest summer month we'd had in many years, and now... August sucks. It feels like I'm living in freakin' Vancouver. Rain, rain and yes, more rain. I like rain when it's warm out and it's a nice break to the heat. But damn! This stuff is cold and nasty, the wind is bone chilling and it's just plain ugly out there. I live in the freakin' prairies, we shouldn't be having this freaky assed weather.

*sighs* But, since there's not really any one to lodge a complaint with, I suppose I must continue to suffer along.

Let's see what else has been happening... Oh yeah, boss is gone on holidays, this I've mentioned before - jerk. And, of course because he's gone, we've gotten increasingly busy at work. Yup, that time of year again where the work load triples overnight. Well, it happened, my desk looked like a paper bomb had gone off when I left on Friday, yup, "left" and that was after cleaning it up for Monday morning. I have so many unanswered emails in my work in-box it's not even funny, just all the crap that a) I didn't get to and b) didn't feel like doing because I already was running around at full steam.

The most joyous of all the news *claps* is that it only gets busier from here! Woo-hoo. NOT! omg! I so can not wait for all the holidays to be completed and the office to be back to full staffing again. Then maybe, just maybe, I'll be able to actually get fully caught up on things.

As to writing, well, I just haven't had time to be working on my script, I know, bad me. But hey, unlike some people I know and won't mention names, I didn't set a deadline to have it completed. See Ry, I didn't once bring your name up in that sentence.

Well, that's it for today, I have some cleaning to do, a little rpg action to complete and then I'm going to collapse and watch the finale of The Kill Point. Ciao!
