Blizzard!!!
Geez, I have a nervous breakdown and no one even comments... Well I didn't quite have a full fledged breakdown but later that night around 10:00 when my boss was yelling about something I told him how he was stressing me out so much I was almost in tears. Being close to tears was enough to hold back his ranting for about 5:00 minutes. Needless to say I'm looking for a new job. There is nothing I can do to change how my boss acts so... its off to monster.com for me.
On a positive note this weekend we had a BLIZZARD!!! I love when it snows that much. Call me crazy. I just love it when you get to see all your neighbors out shovelling and all the kids out having fun in the snow. Or the big kids in my case. I somehow convinced my friends that the blizzard was a sign that we needed an adventure! The last time it snowed enough to go sledding I tried to get an adventure going and no one bit. So this year was successful. We all got our gear on and loaded up my mom's old wooden toboggen in my truck. Now when I say toboggen I mean toboggen. This thing is old school curved wood with rope handles and even a padded seat. It seats 5 passengers. Its about 6 feet long. Knowing what kind of hill we need for such a serious sled sent us searching for the infamous "Bergey Hill" Park.
After my mom's very confusing directions, a little driving around clueless, and asking some locals for directions we found the place. Before we left my mom warned us that the park had been closed to sledding due to some people getting hurt and to be careful. Well there were a few cars parked on the side of the road since the park entrance was blocked off and of course who else is there but the freakin pig ass po po with his lights on sending people away. I hate fuckin cops. Like there isn' tsome serious ass accident due to the snow that would be time better spent for this schmuck. So we drove off and around for a bit only to come back to find the cop and everyone else gone. Sweet, hill to ourselves. We didn't come all this way to be sent packing by some pig with nothing better to do.
So we figure we will get at least 2 runs in. We all clambor aboard and realize how hard it is to keep the thing from flying down the hill before everyone gets on. I'm in front of course because it's my sled damnit. And away we go... boy was it fun... for the first half where we were cruising in snow that was packed down a bit. Then we hit the powder. The front acts like a snow plow and throws tons of snow up in my face completely blocking any visibilty for the first 2 people on the toboggan. We came to a halt when we ditched the thing sideways since no one could see anymore. We were cracking ourselves up. The snow all over my face hurt like a bitch but boy was it fun. We made one more run... The walk up the hill is what really kills ya. I need some serious cardio exercise.
We went back Sunday a bit more prepared and made 3 runs. More people were there and I got wacked in the shin by some less courteous tobogganeers. Didn't even get a sorry or much inquiry into if my leg was still attatched to my body. But overall it was a great adventure and I'm hoping the snow on Wednesday is enough to cause me to stay home from work and go sledding instead.

Sorry I missed out on your breakdown. I was busy...uh...having one of my own.
At least you got to let off a little steam over the weekend! :)
Lol V I told you to visit my blog. So you know of the hill? You need to come with us if we make it there again this year. My toboggin rocks!
CAD Monkey, sorry to hear that. I take it the added stress from promotion is freaking you out? I read on your blog that you didn't believe in the meditation thing. I'm a big fan of meditation and so is V. Although I think V practices it much more than I do. Probably why she's less stressed than I am.
I didn't actually GET a promotion. It was just briefly mentioned in a meeting, but nothing has come of it thus far. I am still just a grunt, indefinitely.
