LOL buzz. I just installed my new dvd burner into my computer. Cant believe dvd burners are only $20 now. When I bought my old one 6 years ago they were still close to $50.

Attempted to go to work (midnight shift) in the middle of a snowstorm with 90kmh gusting winds. Took me 20 minutes to go 10km - and I was in 4WD the whole time at 15-30kmh - before I wised up and turned back. Took me twice as long to get home because I was now heading into the wind and the visibilty was, well, worse than zero. Made it home and phoned in to work to let them know I wasn't coming... I'm sure I'll be in trouble for this, but screw it... I had a bad feeling about the trip right from when I left the driveway.

Just heard the Fire Dept Rescue truck go by with sirens wailing as I was typing the last sentence. I hope whoever they rescue is okay.

Worst. Commute. EVER. :evil:

Played a ton of video games and drank a few brews with a few buddies from work until 6 am.... Life working the closing shifts can be awesome, i know. 8)

I spend the rest of the day sleeping until i went over to my girlfriends house for a good-bye dinner for one of her close friends where i drank some more beer and played some more videos games ( i think i am sensing a trend here ) and here i am, mindlessly surfing the internet
:D

it actually sounds like the storm that is supposedly about to hit us. With one minor difference....

we are under areal flood warnings as well as a winter storm warning at the same time. This IS NOT going to be a good weekend.

pft that storm just hit us. nothing like driving the 12 miles to work in a foot of snow making my own path since there was no path to follow in a 2 wheel drive stick shift truck. Did alot of sideways driving down the road when I would take off from a stop lol. It was fun :D. Seriously I did 35mph all the way to work except for the 2 spots where the speed limit was 25mph and the 1 spot where there was closer to 2 feet of snow because of the drifts. I made the path while a friggen 4 wheel drive plow driver followed me the last mile to my destination. I shoulda stopped and made him go around me so I could follow him lol.

*edit I am talking a normal 4x4 truck not the city/county snow plows.

Spent the whole of the morning being rude to someone on another site. I don't normally do that, but this guy is an idiot, a pompous, self-righteous and condescending idiot. And I cannot help myself.

I was born with a very developed capacity for creative rudeness and sometimes it just has to come out.
