Snow Days!!!

So today marks the 7th day that I have worked in a row. Not that big a deal but when you consider that I have been at work since Wednesday at noon....and haven't left....well then you can wonder what the heck am I up to? Well, it turns out that global warming has taken a vacation and decided to hit us with some on and off again crazy weather!

The managers at work decided that since the weather was supposed to be pretty crazy and a majority of people who I work with have a hard time getting to work when roads are icy, they had some of us volunteer to work straight through. 4 of us said yes and have been "camping" here since Wednesday. Its been slow which is nice but its been a bit long. I don't mind too much since they are paying us 24 hours a day to be here. Sleeping in the conference rooms isn't much like camping but we have been entertaining ourselves with movies and games.

I was again messing around and decided to get a picture of the truck a little after I went for a drive in the snow.



73.5 hours down....and hopefully 57 to go!!!

Snow Day 2008

So of course on a day that it snows I would volunteer to work. It was supposed to come in last night but ended up starting to snow when I left for work. Wasn't bad at all either. I few slippery spots. The drive home was another story. It was 25 degrees out when I left and all the snow was blowing around like mad!!! The truck of course did a great job in 4 wheel drive and the new tires I had bought before our camping trip this past summer was money well spent.

I of course had my camera with me and snapped a few shots while and work and on the way home.






Should be an interesting week since the highest its supposed to get for a day temp it around the freezing point. Good times. 5 days of work still to go!!

Christmas Tree

On Sunday Emma, Puma and I went to our favorite tree farm in Hillsboro near my work. Its Andy's Tree Farm. Its just an older gentleman with his dog Rosie selling some trees that he has on his property.

I was messing around taking pictures of the tree after I put the lights on. Turned out to look pretty interesting.
