From beneath the ice...

The first 2 days of this month brought us a major ice storm that turned my town into a giant ice skating rink.

There was a good half inch of ice on everything around us including my car. It took me 30 minutes to chip out my driver's side door and front windshield. Freaking ridiculous!

Classes at work were cancelled but employees aka the people that actually have to drive to work still had to report. What a bunch of crap. So for 2 days i played catch-up at work while i was stood up by all of my appointments. Not that I'm complaining... oh wait! yes i am.

But this did make for some great pictures, which my favorite is this one!

After the ice, we got 6 inches of snow so now campus is a slushy and icy mess. Safe to say, my cute shoes are hiding until the roads clear and the chances of falling and breaking my arm disappear.

New Year Resolutions...or not?

So long 2010, hello 2011. What is my resolution for this year?

So many to choose from so let's start a list
1. Hopefully get hired on without "interim" status in 2011.
2. Be touted as a success story at the UDETC Conference.
3. Raise my IRA contributions.
4. Buy a new couch... got to get rid of the current one first. (Mullaney has got her money on mid-January)
5. Visit So Cal this summer.

So in an effort to not look greedy... i will end it at this.

But wait... resolutions are futile so i guess i will say... Here's to hoping that this year is just as fabulous if not more so than last year.

Hmm...

So on an average Saturday night, i am sitting here with the tv on in the background and thinking about what my next move should be. Do i stay and see what happens or do i cut the line and run like i've done in so man situations. Any advice?

On a positive note, it looks like i am going to CA for Christmas which i think is a really good thing. I miss seeing the family and my friends from home. Plus, it would have been a shame to break the "New Year's Eve" tradition with Melissa. So wahoo, i'm pumped about going.

So what's the point of this post, nothing really, just random thoughts going out there into the great abyss.

Into the Streets....

Today for the Student Affairs Retreat, i went to the animal shelter and played with the dogs and cats. There were some adorable puppies and kitties. Somehow i don't think that Baines or Bess would let me take one home with me.

Phone craziness update!!

My phone started ringing again... hilarious!!! who knows why but i'm enjoying it for the time being.

When it rains, it pours... literally

So Friday continued to be the cursed day for things to go wrong. As posted in an earlier blog, my phone stopped ringing. It only vibrates now so there is a good chance that i will miss your call if you try to reach me.

When i arrived home, the internet and TV were not working and i had a leak in my downstairs bathroom ceiling.

The cable was an easy fix, it turns out that some rookie mediacom guy disconnected my service when he was trying to disconnect someone else's service since they had moved. Within a few hours i was up and running again. The leak however is a whole 'nother story. I stepped into a puddle on Friday but since then, it has been drying so that now the tile is dry. I didn't do anything different, still showered and used the toilet as usual and it didn't leak again. WTF? My bathroom apparently has a mysterious leak in it...

Still no maintenance guys from my apartment complex to check it out. i guess i will simply have to suffer through it with mold and the other fun stuff that goes with a ceiling tile that got wet. Nasty

Freaking Phones

I've fallen victim to the defective phone nonsense. It no longer rings so i am stuck on vibrate. Ugh!! So in advance... I apologize for not answering your phone calls.
