Damn that Traffic Jam

My car has a gauge on the dashboard that is a timer and an odometer. Ever since losing the backroad route to work I have been in the habit of zeroing it as I start a drive to or from work.

This morning the 43ish mile drive took 52 minutes. That’s fantastic. I never get in that fast in morning. It was beautiful.

This evening I did not go home. I went to my parent’s house. That shortens my drive by about 10 miles or so. The drive took two hours. At one point I looked at the gauge and saw that I was exactly one hour into the drive. I had gone nine miles. Do the math, kiddies.

It’s Raining

We interrupt your regularly scheduled dumb blog post to pose a question:

What’s up with all this rain?

New England has been getting oceans of rain dumped on it for the past week.  I can honestly say that it is not the cause of the really crappy week I’ve been having, but it is certainly not helping things.  The kids and I needed to build a raft to sail down the driveway to the car this morning.  It’s really quite the downer.  Let’s hope this is all over and done with by the time Summer officially starts next week, m’kay?

On Call Update

My on call started at 8:30am.  Everything was quiet for the first half hour.  Then it stopped being quiet.  Between 9:00 and 11:20 I got five tasks.  Four of them are complete.  The fifth is with the customer now because I haven’t a clue and asked a couple of questions for clarification.  I suppose I could be hopeful that the customer contact has gone home for the day and won’t see the task until tomorrow… but that’s stinkin’ thinkin’.  Really, it’s dreaming.

Four hours down.  20 still to go.

This BLOWS!
