oh no! snow is coming!

Oh no! The snow is here! Oh no!

Seriously, this is all I've heard about since the beginning of the weekend. The big snow on Monday! You'd think this town was getting ready for a hurricane or something. The news reports around here this weekend I imagine were similar to, say, the news reports in Baghdad in early March. We've been waiting for something really big here. The biggest storm in eight years! Schools are closed! Schools were closed today, just in case! Meanwhile the only thing it did today was be cold. We'll see if the storm amounts to anything. We could be knee deep in the white stuff by morning, who knows? And who cares? Yep, it'll be a cold, shitty day. And then two days later it will be fifty and raining and all of it will melt and be gone! Tough life we have here in the northwest. No matter what happens with this storm, though, it couldn't possibly live up to the hype. When I was in Utah for Christmas it fucking snowed non-stop for a couple of days and it ended up to be at least a foot and a half deep, and I swear it wasn't mentioned on the news as many times as this storm we're having up here, the storm that hasn't even really started yet.

It's funny to me, but I have to admit I live living in a town where people are this big of sissies when it comes to the snow. Let's not forget I left Utah, and when people ask me why I often tell them it's because I don't like snow. I'm a fucking sissy too, and that's why I'm in this town. I work with a guy from Minnesota and he has the same attitude as me. Snow was not in the agreement when we moved to Portland. I'm getting what I deserve, I'm sure. When I was in Utah I just kept talking about how great it would be to leave that mess and get back to Portland "where it doesn't snow." Okay, very funny. Enough's enough. I get it.

Well, anyway, tomorrow is my day off and I don't have to worry about going anywhere anyway. Go ahead. Snow your ass off. See if I care.

While I'm here I feel like I should write some kind of update to my life or something, but basically it's the same story as always. Not much new, really. My boss is being a fucking dickhead lately. Not personally or anything, he just has an asshole attitude all the time and it drives me fucking crazy. I'm ridiculously oversensitive to other peoples emotions and shit, and when someone else is in a bad mood it automatically puts me in bad mood. I've noticed that the amount I hate my job is directly proportional to the general mood of my boss. And so right now I kind of hate my job, and I blame him. I guess I can't blame him for being in a shit mood, I mean the business is basically tanking. I don't know how it can be so shitty, but things are fucked up there. I don't think it's going anywhere, I hope, but it's just going to be annoying for a while I imagine.

And I have water in my trunk and mold is growing in there. So that sucks. And Jenn's car has a leak too and the carpets are all wet. And we have mold growing in our apartment, even though it's fairly dry in here. So pretty much we've got stuff growing everywhere, I as far as I know we can't even pick any of it up and eat it to hallucinate. So that's a bummer. I'm thinking a wet/dry vac will be a pretty good investment very soon here.

Christ this room is a fucking mess. I don't think I've really cleaned this pile since christmas. I've got to do something about this tomorrow, while I'm all snowed in and shit.

As of tonight, I have read, I think, every Chuck Palahniuk novel. And they's all good.

Alright then. I'm gonna go take a crap.
