teh snow
~ Didn't go to work today cause I couldn't get out of my parking spot. Eventually managed to escape at about 1:00 after I stole a shovel from the maintenance people (don't worry. I brought it back).

~ The roads are moderately better. Edgewood is pretty good. Up here, anyway. Don't know about down in the SW side. Blair's Ferry sucks kinda hard. They're doing an OK job. They're doing 12-16 hour shifts (so the news says), so you can't really get on them too bad.

~ Whoever plows Lowe's should plow everywhere. There's a large chunk of the Lowe's parking lot that is completely void of snow. COMPLETELY clear. wtf?

~ Since it usually takes about a week for the apartment people to plow anything here, I went to Hy-vee to buy a cheap, overpriced shovel since they were the only place that had any left. I went out to shovel my parking lot because I'd like to actually be able to get into it. About half an hour of shoveling, the fucking Bobcat shows up to start clearing the snow. I really believe the only reason that they started plowing this lot is because I was out doing it. They started on the lot across the street and were going away from here earlier. While I am glad I can park in my lot now, that was a fucking hard half hour of shoveling. And I really don't see myself needing that shovel anymore.

~ I want to go skiing. Even though I don't know how. I think I'd do well with snowblades (or skiboards. you know, the short skis). Somehow they look exponentially easier than regular skis to use. You know, since they're shorter.
