Someone book me a room (Part 65)...

Chapter 3, Page 6....

Got up a half hour early this morning.  After the normal getting ready, I had to start the car up, then shovel just a little bit in front of it when the boro trucks had plowed snow back onto the part I shovled.  No biggie.  And I had to wait for the car to warm up and the frost to get off the windshield.  Then I went to Rutters for coffee and started to work.

The roads were, frankly, horrible.  They were still snow covered, although there were tracks bare down to the bare road to drive in.  But they're ALWAYS bad in Pennsylvania.  And I'm only IN PA for about three minutes before I go into Maryland, where the roads are always better.  So I figured once I got there it would all be good.

WRONG.  The roads were WORSE in Maryland.  Not plowed, everything was just compacted down onto the road, and there were NOT any tracks like in PA.  Couldn't see any lines, had to go slow.  And I passed a snow plow going to other way, and all it was doing was throwing down stones, no plowing!

Eventually, when I reached a small village, the roads were cleared off perfectly, and continued all the way into Hagerstown.  Just as I was used to seeing.  But then once I got INTO Hagerstown itself, well, the roads when right back to what they had been before.  In all my 18 years of working in the same place, I have NEVER seen the roads so bad in Maryland.  They get a Republican, tax-cutting, no spending Governor swore in in January and looks what happens. *SIGH*

Anyway, work itself was pretty light.  I got things accomplished, but I was the only one there from my department, so I would have had to do everything that needed done.  Luckily, like I said, it was pretty light.

I chatted with Louis on Facebook, which was great!  He's back from a nearly month long visit to his homeland, Singapore.  He was off work, trying to get over jet lag and studying for the last of his professional tests.  Once he passes this one, which I'm sure he will in April, he'll have everything competed to become an architect in his own right!  And best of all, he's planning a visit the end of April sometime.  YAY!

Also, Derick, contacted me and asked me to come over, so after work, (when the roads were much MUCH more clearer) I stopped by his place for some bedtimesexxyfun!  And after that, ordered a pizza, picked it up on the way home, and brought it back here to enjoy it.

I got on Netflix, wandered around looking at things (they do NOT have The Shining, nor most of Ken Burn's documentaries on streaming....that's just wrong!), and ended up watching Mr. Peabody And Sherman, which was a cute little entertaining flick.

Following this, some putzing around online, then to bed to read and to sleep.
