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.

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.
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

Gummi, sometimes I think you evolved along a different route from the rest of us.

In centuries to come, may your ghost be seen chugging through the blizzards of the future.
More power to your elbow, mate!

it actually sounds like the storm that is supposedly about to hit us.

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 funGummiente wrote:Attempted to go to work (midnight shift) in the middle of a snowstorm with 90kmh gusting winds.

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.
