Night Out. We're celebrating one of my co-worker's promotions to Manager (she leaves for the Syracuse restaurant tomorrow), so everyone from work is getting together at another co-worker's apartment. It should be fun. Those of us girls who have to go to work the next morning are just going to sleep over, so that we can help clean up. I have other things to blog about, but I don't really feel like baring it all yet. :-)

Done. Did the bathroom (didn't find the mop until about an hour ago, so I just wiped the tile with this spray stuff we have; I also had an "argument" with the shower curtain after I washed it-it is hanging back up again so I'm pretty sure I won), the front room, the living room, the kitchen (the drain's still clogged despite my best attempts with the other half bottle of Draino). Started on my bedroom, but ran out of steam. I just made it tidy enough where I wasn't embarassed to have the door open-->all my junk's still in bins from when my bed collapsed and I moved stuff out, so it could be fixed. The plan was to unpack them and re-organize but that can wait until Monday. I was going to take a nap, but I'm going out instead.

Productivity. Surfed on-line for a bit, read for a bit, finally decided that since it's the beginning of April I might as well be productive and get spring cleaning out of the way. w00t! Spring cleaning, what fun! And a ludicrous name considering the sheets of ice coating our city at the moment. OH well...it's actually a perfect day for it, except for the fact that I can't open windows and have fresh springtime air waft through the house...

Ice Storm Revisited. My county declared a state of emergency last night, whole neighborhoods have no power, trees are down. I had to cancel my kids dance team rehearsal scheduled for today and will now proceed to lounge around in my pajamas drinking tea and reading MegaTokyo. Or maybe I'll re-read some books. I've got options.

Aftershocks: "a further reaction following the shock of a deeply disturbing occurence or revelation" (definition courtesy of Dictionary.com). Yesterday was bad. I had a direct confrontation with C., one that ended with her pulling rank on me and me telling her that I'd run things her way but if the outcome wasn't what she expected than it was her own fault. And that sentence doesn't even begin to explain the horror that yesterday was. I don't even feel like getting into it; I'm completely exhausted. Exhausted and not-caring enough that people at work picked up on it and I rarely bring my personal baggage with me to work. I just didn't have the energy to care about the vibe I was giving off. I still don't care.
