Oh Great

Oh wonderful. My company gives a holiday gift. It’s a nice gesture but it requires the entire company to come into the office on the day the gift is distributed. I was in a massive crowd in New York this past weekend and I didn’t feel as Covid-claustrophobic as I do sitting at my desk in the office right now. The parking lot is full, it’s super loud with everyone talking at once, and we’re all going to catch the 21st century plague.

Yeah, I am opting out of the holiday gift next year.

Here’s a nice camera-phone sunrise to cheer me up.

It did not cheer me up.

Star

The star on top of our xmas tree is dead. It died over the off season somehow. When we put it up this year it didn’t work.

It took me a couple of weeks, but I finally got a replacement yesterday. It’s not nearly as nice. I’ll have to upgrade it next year, if I can remember to do it.

Traffic is Funny

Here’s an example of why traffic in greater Boston is funny. I don’t mean funny as in hahaha, I mean funny as in I am so mad I want to claw my eyes out.

I drove about 70 miles to get to work today. It was pouring rain the whole way. It was also seriously foggy out. The fog plus the rain plus the spray coming off of everyone’s tires meant that visibility was only slightly better than zero. For almost the entire drive I was up around 70-75 miles per hour. I made excellent time.

Yesterday it was gloomy out but other than a little drizzle at the tail end of the drive it was dry. No precipitation, no fog to speak of, no road spray. It had rained the day before though. How did I do for time? There were pockets of gridlock everywhere. The drive took 30 minutes longer than it took today.

Rain today = no traffic jams.
No rain today but rain yesterday = huge traffic jams.

See what I mean about “funny”?

Anyway, here’s a picture of a guitar to try to guilt myself into playing before work tomorrow, when I will thankfully be working from home again.
