Chicken & Biscuit (snow day)


Thursday: Woke to the sound of garbage being collected. The phone rang and I took it as a sign I should get out of bed. Just the video store thinking I needed to return something. Straight down basement and morning practices and drums. Packed up Shawn's cymbals. Fed Oscar. Out back and raking the leaves, in anticipation of the coming snow. Just as I completed, flakes began to fall. Shower. Was about to head out, but decided I'd be best served by having some breakfast. Kale, mushrooms and eggs.

Headed in to work, slow going with the snow. The guys from Apple had responded fessing up to a bug. Made a system for a new sort of add-on notification. Worked around the Apple bug. Looked into fixing one last bug of my own... which turned into quite a tough nut to crack. Mom called and we talked briefly. Around 8, (still snowing heavily) B suggested those of us still in the office go out for dinner at a nice local place, so the six of us did. A lovely meal by a (gas) fire. Geek humor: "Would would you get if you bit-wise and a chicken with a biscuit?" Don't worry, it doesn't make any sense. Back to the shop, and some more work. I left around 10.

Very slow going back home. Someone zoomed past me, driving aggressively despite the snow. I honked my horn at them and gave them the finger. Once home, lots of shoveling. Cleaning up. Listening to some music. Now down basement to do some little jobs I've been putting off, and to complete the day.
