Pete's Log: stupid snowplows
Entry #1340, (Life in General)(posted when I was 24 years old.)
Monday evening I spent more than an hour and a half digging out Meg's car. I'm still sore from all the shoveling. We went to the store and made it back without any trouble. I even managed to back the car back into it's spot surrounded by snow. Tuesday we made it to work. Normally there are about twenty of us temps working there; yesterday there were seven of us. But after work, we got home to find the snowplow had come by and buried the entrance to our parking spot. So more digging for me!
The roads are still pretty bad. They've become good enough now that there's a lot of people back on them. Which makes things worse, almost. But we manage. I've seen and heard many more emergency vehicles these past couple days than average. I've definitely seen more snow than this before, but never in an urban environment this unprepared for it. I'm pretty amazed.
In other news, Meg and I saw Rent Friday night. They announced a midnight showing at the last minute. We decided to see if we could get rush tickets. Initially, we'd wanted to go Sunday. Turns out, going Friday was a good idea, since they cancelled the Sunday performances due to the snow. They did the rush tickets in a lottery system, and I got lucky and won. So we saw Rent. I enjoyed it. I understood a lot more of the lyrics than my previous two times seeing it.
I'm having really disturbing mood swings these days. Meg helps me through them, though. I'm so lucky she loves me.
