Bitter? Me?

I've had to call into work the last couple of days because two solid feet of snow here at mountain level, plus the annual OMG SNOW Traffic Panic, it would take a combination of the Batmobile and Jedi reflexes to get there without destroying myself and my car.

On the one hand I feel a little bad about abandoning my coworkers to drown in a sea of unshelved book trucks. On the other hand, though, I am really not willing to risk life, limb, and car for a 12-hour-a-week minimum wage job that hasn't given me a promotion in 3 1/2 years. If being a good employee doesn't get me anywhere, I am far less inclined to boher.

In other news, though, it snowed like 2 feet this weekend! It's winter! Hooray!

I have nothing important to say other than I think that's a 100% fair attitude to take.

"Batmobiee"

This sounds like the word used when the Batmobile proves insufficient to handling the two feet of snow on mountain roads. "Don't worry, Tim, we're in the Batmobiee-"

I don't usually like to call out typos, but I make exceptions when it seems funny enough ;)

Fixed! Thanks for catching it.

(Funny thing is, I rewrote it because I typed it wrong the first time. Apparently my fingers just did not want to type "Batmobile." <-- AND I JUST HAD TO RETYPE THAT TWICE BECAUSE IT KEPT COMING OUT WRONG.)

Sometimes, fingers and keyboards just don't work together right.

For some reason I read "Jedi reflexes" as "Jesus reflexes" (long day of reading discouraging things about evangelicals, probably), which was really confusing until I read it again. I'm not sure Jesus (the historical figure, assuming he existed) ever actually came into contact with snow. And if he did, he probably wasn't driving on it. Although I guess if he could walk on water, then skimming across snow-covered roads was probably doable, no?
