safe at home! ---O_O---*
Jan. 8th, 2005 03:13 pmjust here on lj amusing myself. lalala.
well,i tried to go to work today. heck,it was snowing on thurs and dubiously wet/possibly slippery on my drive home but i made it...though not in a very relaxed fashion. but i could have been worse. at least i made it to work.
so,today i started out for work and i'm behind a snowplow. why is it that the road is worse behind the snowplow? i think it's because the plow flattens out the safe little grooves other cars have made and also creates a flat surface with no traction. anyway,i knew this,and at one point i went to slow down a little,slower than 20 mph! and guess what? i couldn't control my car! surprise! and whose to say if i'd be following a snowplow at any point during my commute? and my car is pretty good in the snow.
so of course i turned into the nearby supermarket plaza,bought some chips and ben and jerry's (and bananas and salad greens and toilet paper,and,uh,cookie dough) and came home. luckily i made it home without mishap and had no one close behind me when i had to turn onto my street. when i did i just stepped on it a bit and actually the car straightened itself out(yay front-wheel drive! though of course it doesn't help if there is something in front and on the sides and therefore you need to stop)...kinda cool,but i only did that because there was no one else on the road. i am relieved to be 'safe at home' (knocking over the catcher was rather fun. heh.)
ah,anyway...
now i can stay home and read and...whatever the hell i feel like doing!
yippee!
before leaving for work,i had my only tv channel on for the latest weather info,and i was watching some pro basketball and found it a bit interesting. all those talllll people! but i also was amazed at how bad they were playing...they're pros! this was the ny knicks and cleveland cavaliers. well,just my opinion. i suppose their offense is better than high school players,but so would be the defense.
