So yesterday the sky looked really strange most of the day and it was cold. I was so sure we would have snow by now but nope. My girlfriend, who lived most of her life in an area where it snows every winter thought it would snow soon also so she sent me to the store to pick up a few staples. I tell ya, I have a love/hate relationship with Walmart. I love that I can find everything in one place but I hate that it can be a nightmare at certain times of the day. My first mistake was going just before 5:00 when everybody was there after work. Tack on the people who were expecting snow also, not enough cashiers, and bam, not a fun shopping trip at all. There were so many people in the store and they only had 3 registers open. Who does that? One of the managers got on the overhead and asked for all trained cashiers to come to the front lanes. After his second request, he got back on the overhead and started calling folks up front by name. I thought that was hilarious because clearly he checked the schedule and knew who should have been up front by then. Finally they opened 2 more registers but people were in such a hurry to get over to them that I decided to stay put.
Once I got back home, I was still waiting for the snow but still no snow. I mean, I'm not complaining because I can do without the snow but I guess I was just expecting it. Most of the schools have canceled classes for today and apparently snow is expected by 10, I think. It's just after 8 and so far no snow. Ideally, it would be nice if we don't get any snow, or dreaded black ice.
I'm typing this blog on my desktop, which has been giving me messages since yesterday that one of my hard drives is about to fail. That's just what I need while I'm in the process of looking for work and have started to apply for at home positions again. Just great. Ain't nobody got time for computer problems. I have to look for my repair disks, which I hope are in the box next to my desk and not in the storage unit. If not, I will have to see what I can do about getting a new one. I have no desire to work on my laptop, even though it's newer than my desktop. Being that I made my living for years typing, I'm very particular about my keyboard and that laptop with it's flat keys, is not appealing to me at all. Actually, this desktop came with a different keyboard but I didn't like it, so I'm using the old one with the rubbed off letters. Hey, I know where the letters are. I don't need to see them. There are only about 7 keys that are really worn but I like this keyboard.
Anyway, I'm done rambling for now. Time to look for these disks and do a little job searching.
Until next time,
