So, yesterday's snow turned into mostly rain overnight and today. Made it into and from work with no problems.
At work though, my boss mentions in passing that we've got a tour coming through and would I mind cleaning up a pile of old stuff that should have been archived long ago. I spent the whole day scanning documents from as far back as 1985 or 1983, but he was pleased with some of the stuff I stumbled over (even wanted copies of some of it). Anytime I can keep my boss happy is a good time. I really do like this job. I'm almost always busy, nobody hassles me, and I produce results which seems to make everyone there happy. |

Greg, it's awesome you have found a job you like. That is really a difficult thing for a lot of folks.
I just got off work and drove home at the beginnings of a very ugly snowstorm. My gas tank is on vapors and tomorrow I'm kiting a check just to keep the car running since I don't get paid until late tomorrow night. Part of the problem with being a decent employee is management has no qualms coming to you for extra hours, days, etc. Sometimes I wish I was incompetent. |

I have found that brings about it's own set of headaches... and often less money.

I remember getting promotions and extra hours and more people coming at me to do stuff. Wasn't fun. Makes you wonder how they ever run the place without you. But of course, they have to now, heh.
(Nah, I'm still looking for a job, but I don't miss the old one. Leaving was a good decision.) In other news, I've "discovered" Marble Hornets. I put that word in air quotes because I've been aware of its existence for quite a while, but never actually checked out the videos in the web series itself. And I'm pretty much never going to sleep again.

Sounds like you are enjoying your job a whole lot more than the last one and that they actually appreciate the work that you do, congrats Greg.

Marble Hornets is a web series on youtube. It's a bunch of very short films, like 5 minutes each or less, and they are very creepy.

Hey guys. Anyone do anything interesting this weekend?
I'm trying hard not just throw a bunch of stuff in my car and take off to anywhere. I need an adventure or something so much. |

Anything. Anything to just get some fresh air and get out of Fargo for a bit.

Come to Wisconsin. I only get Sunday off, which means I spend it cleaning, writing, etc. But if you come here, I'll make sure you get lots of cheese, brats n' beer.

Frankly, some of us wonder why he ever lets you out.
