Not much going on here, just watching Deadwood. There were a number of enraging news stories today, and I think I just got to my limit on bullshit around 3pm and now can’t remember what they were. That means i get a temporary reprieve but will unfortunately have to go through the same god damned thing tomorrow. I was informed today that I have entire conversations with Steve and Maxwell while I am working and that some days I talk to them more than her.

Very frustrating day. In every aspect. I am glad I am here and not enduring the storm back home, although I did remark to Joelle I miss snow. But I don’t mean an inch and shitty slush and grey for weeks on end. I mean real snow. I miss that.
