Library cards & Snow days

Last night I stayed up a little later than I had planned. I just couldn't help it. Divergent is so good. It took an unexpected turn (I don't want to give anything away). I knew it would happen I just thought what was going to happen would have happened say in the next book. I just really want to know what happened to Tobias. So because I was so engrossed in this book I ended up falling asleep around 1am. The latest I had planned to stay up was midnight.

I have decided to not watch t.v. before bed, instead I will read. It helps that I just got my library card for DC so now I can get books anytime.

Maybe one day I will be like my wonderful roommate and become addicted to reading. Reading is definitely a better addiction than anything else. Obviously if I had to pick an addiction of my to write about it would be my addiction to bacon. I wish I could have it every day but if I did my sister would be worried that I was going to have a heart attack.

I think it would be perfect if I was laying on a beach some where tropical reading a book, drinking a fruity cocktail, and eating a plate of bacon. I would much rather be somewhere warm and tropical right now than in DC with all this snow. Don't get me wrong I like snow. But as I have gotten older, I have disliked snow more and more. In high school, we never had a snow day. If it did snow, I had to drive my sister's old beast of a Jeep instead of my classic BMW. Some kids I went to high school thought I was rich because I had 2 cars. But if they paid any attention, they should have noticed that those cars aren't in great condition.

In college, I remember only 2 snow days. The first one was either my Sophomore year or Junior year. Of course, it was during finals week. I was already done with my finals and I was just waiting for my sister and her friends to finish up with theirs. The snow delayed the final exams by a day. It was a snow day for pretty much everyone, except me, because I was done with finals and just ready to go home. The second was Senior year, and the only reason class was cancelled was because the President of the college slipped and fell on ice. I believe that was a day that I did not have class.

Snow days seem to happen more often in DC. Of course, it seems to me it is unnecessary to shut down everything if it snows a few inches. But I guess I won't complain if it means everyone gets a snow day. And who doesn't love a snow day?

Divergent

One of the things that I want to do to make my life a little better is to read more. Obviously I don't plan on reading as much as my roommate because if she had an addiction it would be reading. I think one of the main things that is holding me back from doing this is that I can get very bored from reading. I am currently reading the Divergent series by Veronica Roth.

Since I am almost done reading this amazing book, I want to get the next to in the trilogy. However, I really don't want to spend the money and am having trouble finding them to download. They have now made this book into a movie which won't be in theaters March 21, 2014.

Off to the library to freeze my ass off to go get Insurgent, the second book in the trilogy.
Wish me luck walking or taking the bus down there in the freezing cold.

Week 2

Week 2 of the government and this shit is crazy! 

Day two of Government Shutdown

Sorry this is  a little late and by that I mean a day. So yesterday my boss emailed me saying he wouldn't be coming in unless he felt better. He would have called but he had left his cell phone in the office. So my day was hectic. Too much stuff and I can't even describe it. But I was in the office until about 8:30 last night. Morning commute to work was not too bad. A few more people on the bus than on Day One. Since I left so late my commute was very nice. Hardly anyone on the bus. I got home at 9pm and I was surprised that Roommate dinner had not started. Nick and Reza had not gotten home yet. So dinner was actually at like 10:30. They made pheasant. Sarah prepared the salad and asparagus. Paul made roasted potatoes and his own birthday cake. Taylor made apple pie pockets. Still have yet to have mine though. I was saving it for breakfast. Which is not breakfast time and I am getting hungry.

Back to why my boss was sick. He had appendicitis. He stopped by the office to pick up his cell phone. And told me he was going to the hospital. He looked like he was in a lot of pain and could barely walk. He had the laparoscopic surgery and is recovering now. He will be released this afternoon.

Day One Government Shutdown Continued

My day was hardly affected by the Government Shutdown today. My bus this morning was practically empty. Which if you know anything about DC buses then you know that if you can get a seat on your way to work it is a miracle. I got numerous phone calls throughout the day asking if the government shutdown was going to affect us at work. For the time being no, it will not. On my way home from work, there was traffic but what do you expect from Georgetown on M street?

My boss was sick today but was still at work today. So I did most of his work as well as mine.

Tonight was Tipsy Tuesday, where we drank wine and played games and talked about the government shutdown.

I hope everyone stays safe during the government shutdown.....

Day One of Government Shutdown!

Today's blog post is day one of the government shutdown. So far everything seems the same but that could be because I have yet to leave the apartment. But all I can really say at the moment is that if any part of day is even the tiniest bit affected I will blame Obama! Because of this shutdown, liberals will continue to call conservatives morons, conservatives will continue to call liberals communists, President Obama will continue to look inept at running this country as he usually does. People will continue to spew their uneducated political opinions all over Facebook and Twitter while absolutely nothing gets done.

Just because the government has shutdown, doesn't mean we stop paying taxes people!

Happy Shutdown everyone! Stay safe!
