Major League Rugby is in season. And the matches are on YouTube. And Seattle are the defending champions. Come to think of it, the Seahawks made it all the way to the playoffs in a rebuilding year. The Mariners had a winning season last year. And the Sounders FC have made it to post-season play for 10 years straight…..
When you look at the big picture, the Seattle sports scene isn’t all that bad….
Just got up and flipped the TV on Chris Cuomo just mentioned a lasagna of lies. And I have issues with that. What have lasagna done to deserve that kind of insult? I guess I should change the channel.
Good morning, people….
Survived the first Snowmegeddon. Mainly because I was already on the bus to work when it hit. Toughed it out. And the roads were mainly bare and wet pavement by this afternoon. And then Mk 2 hit. Got up, got dressed and looked out the window. Noped it out of work. Yes, I ride the bus to work, and my employer has tightened up the attendance policy recently. But we are now under a state of emergency, and even the governor has said to stay inside. And buses have gotten into accidents in weather like this.
So in the interests of my safety, I called out tonight. Tomorrow night, the roads should be sanded and plowed enough that I’ll make it to work…
It’s been really cold the past few days. Like down into the teens. Snowmageddon Mk 1 hit Sunday night. And that was the night that it was my turn to go out and police the parking lot at work. It was very picturesque to be out in the falling snow. I would’ve taken pictures, but my employer frowns upon using personal devices on company time, and I prefer to toe the company line (but more on that later perhaps). Monday morning, the roads were treacherous. Monday was really cold, but the plows were out, and I had no issues getting to work. Tuesday morning, most of the roads I went on were bare and wet pavement (though I only go on the main arteriels). Last night, even the sidewalks were bare. Though it it still freeze your balls off cold outside.
And now they’re saying Snowmageddon Mk 2 will hit this weekend. But still we’re better here than the polar vortex that hit the midwest last week….
For some inexplicable reason, cake seems good today. I just don’t know why. Happy Birthday.
My ‘Friday’ is Monday night/Tuesday morning. My past ‘Friday’, with only an hour to go, the boss suggested to me rather strongly that I take a vacation day on Thursday (mainly to cut overtime, since I had to stay an hour late on a couple of days to finish my assigned tasks). So, I got a bonus three day weekend. Though it means that I’ve just burned through what’s left of my vacation time.
But I’m not looking a gift horse in the mouth. Any time when I can get a three-day weekend and not get in trouble for it (for attendance) will be a good thing. And it looks like I’ll be getting another 3-day weekend in a couple of weeks, as I’m taking a vacation day on Valentine’s Day so I can work at Mrs. Fields…
