i had a dream last night (actually this morning) about how, due to inclement weather, we did not have work today. when i woke up, i was so convinced that this was the case (even though it was only raining, not even snowing or icing outside) that i ACTUALLY called the number we have in case work is canceled due to bad weather, attacks by godzilla, or the coming of the messiah. actually, they'd probably expect us here early for that last one. maybe if the messiah WERE godzilla....
anyway, i called the number (which is actually just the general number here). fingers a-trembling, i dialed the extension that directly correlated with my fate. would i be spared this terrible thing called "work"?
no.
not only was there no message about work being canceled, but the automated voice said that the extension wasn't even a valid one. they disconnected the work cancellation line so that we'd be stuck here forever! i was reminded of that scene at the beginning of
joe vs. the volcano.and then i got back into bed, determined to be late to work rather than early.
that also didn't happen. i dallied as much as possible, but i was still on time. even a few minutes early. it was irritating to say the least (also, to say the most).
so, today womps. but, in order to cast my eyes upon that silver-lining, i feel i should mention one thing.
my
NEW BOOTS! okay, they aren't new anymore, but you will be happy to know that they are STILL AMAZING! remember how excited i was about them at first? well, that hasn't worn off. there were tons of those slushy puddles all over the damn place today, but my feet stayed warm and toasty in my
NEW BOOTS. i'm glad i spent a ridiculous amount of money on them. so there.
i was going to go into something else, perhaps how i used the word "dallied" and how awkward that is. but meh. i'm already over it.
and you are, too.
