Does the recycling man vape?
What a day. All the quarantined guys came back and they are all okay. My supervisor is one day going to reach a point with me where like, I sit him down for some high stakes poker. I can tell when he's lying.
Never con a con artist who has MERELY figured out that it is far EASIER AND SMARTER not to lie, because you just don't have to keep track. But I suspect there may come a day.... although we are being polite ATM. I think he has performance anxiety now, though because he was like freaking about like, this list of questions I had (I suggested perhaps some structure would be good) and he was like, "Um we can address it after all your other topics though!" I was like, "Ah, please don't feel you have to explain all that to me in a week! That was like for the next few months."
I remain feeling better like less down but like also still tired. Then again it snowed, and it snowed all day. My husband, upon hearing this, told me he had hooked his car up for "an emergency" and I got to drive MYSELF to work which was annoying and what not and he was like, "I don't trust your car."
I was all like, "Oh IT WILL BE FINE." On the way in, it was educationally fine in that the roads were bad enough for me to IMMEDIATELY go, "Yep, I will be buying my snow tires next NO problem." I forgot how stupid light that sucker is, and my tires are really approaching glass, honestly, their surfaces. It's not good.
So going in was good because when you are IN that situation you kinda gotta figure out how fast you HAVE to go to get up a hill without sliding backwards, and how SLOW you have to go down hill to not start sliding. My car had a cool little slidey icon when it lost traction and well, I was like, "That's nice I can feel it."
So I had this long day, everything was icing up, and like, I was like "I should turn on my GPS so I don't even have to THINK about navigating. Only like, that bit me very HARD because like it decided to take me the "back way" which was like, progressively LESS and LESS cool, culminating in like 1. 7 miles of uphill curvaceous road that was WAY too... I would have had to be going 30 at least to hit the top and there were three sharp turns.
Oh, I might have chanced it honestly but to be frank, well, I was like: If I would just slide into a tree or something FINE, but like, THAT is a STEEP embankment down into a rather rapidly flowing RIVER so I was like, "Uh, I am gonna back up RIGHT here and call the husband who showed up driving DOWN the road in his trusty Subaru and like, he was all superior then and I was like, "Fine I need the stupid tires and I AM going to go get 500 lbs of sand or sawdust to stick in my trunk because a) it just helps and b) like what if I had no cell service? I would have had to have abandoned my car and gotten out and WALKED. Or, packed myself in Sawdust to preserve my body heat.
Anyway he like checked things out and I had to turn around and go back EXACTLY the way I came and he was complimentary of my GETTING that far and like, also calling me an idiot for not just getting on the highway (which was more or less fine really) and I was like, "I DON'T KNOW! I thought it was some new google winter setting for like when it was bad and you needed a beginner's route!" He was like "You drove RIGHT past the exit." I was like "I KNOW and it looked kinda LAME and I was listening to the computer."
Anyway so yeah, I figured out I think my car will be okay with the right tire I really have NO treads I was making it by on gearing, artificial anti-lock braking (tedious) and estimating gradients and curves alone. It was pretty tiring.
No yoga tomorrow either I am BEAT. But that's okay it's also my early day home. Oy.
I was not envious of the Subaru but I still think I got PRETTY far and a good education without hitting anything, which is why I am a good SNOW driver it is fascinating enough to hold my interest.
ALSO I was like, Um , YEAH MAYBE I would have come down that hill but not up it so I knew my limits. Etc.
Meh. Continuing early bed and continuing to decrease my melatonin. So far so good.
Hope you are all well, especially the recycling guy.
