We were supposed to have a storm come through here yesterday/last night. NOAA.gov kept changing their forecast from 3-7 inches of snow to 1-2 inches and back again. Woke up this morning to a slight dusting outside and the forecast is something like a 30% of another inch falling.
The snowfall where we live has been next to nothing so far this year. I know, I know - I'm inviting trouble just mentioning it. But we need the moisture.
We get fog in patches around here, places where there is wet ground or streams. I was driving home last night, turned a corner, and I thought my eyes had gone weird, because there was a grey haze half way across the street that was cleanly cut off a yard above the ground. I slowed down and it wasn't until I was in it that I realized it was a patch of fog wandering off the playground of the school next to the road. Very odd, the way it was so well defined.
You see? The internet is stalking me! And now the internet knows where I live!
Hee. The to-do system was probably autofocus. I cannae cut & paste the link from my phone, but you can probably search lifehacker for the article on autofocus and it should get you there.
'Fitte' is probably cunt. I'm not familiar with Norwegian swearing, but in Swedish 'fite' (no clue how to spell these) is cunt, and it's 'vitu' in Finnish (same root apparently even though Swedish and Finnish are generally super different). The 'kittie' bit I don't know. In Swedish it's usually fure-fite, which means 'sheep's cunt', or maybe 'hest-fite' which is horse's cunt. In Finnish it's normally 'vitu perkele' which I think either means devil's cunt or cunting devil. I use 'vitu perkele' a lot.
Oh, thank you Jars. It's good to know what I've been saying for all these years.
I thought I was over my cold but I'm not: it's all plugged up in my sinuses and I have a sore throat. So, hey, let's use one of those sick days, that's why we have them.
Also, this time of year it's hard to get any work done anyway, because so many people I need to deal with are taking use-or-lose vacation.
So I am going to look at smartphones. Hmm.
I love deleting emails from my old work mailbox. damn but there is some old stuff in there. I just want as much gone as possible before my last day. They will most likely give one of the managers access to it for a month afterward and I want it to be clean of anything personal, but also as empty as possible.
Wow, this is really cool:

I am ready to CHOKE A BITCH at work today. I'd give anything to go into labor NOW so I could just up and leave.
I am cracking up that Ben Cohen posted enthusiastically to facebook about getting invited to a Scissors Sisters concert and meeting the band backstage.
Yeah, it's a wet, cold, occasionally icy slick mess outside today in my area. I'm working from home, and trying to decide whether to go to my book group meeting tonight. On one hand, the temperature should be a few degrees above freezing, so I won't have black ice worries. On the other hand—cold, wet, with added darkness. Idonwanna.
On the back of yesterday's swearing-at-work conversation...it would be wrong of me to set up a rule in Outlook to respond to all of a particular individual's emails with "FUCK OFF," right? Even if the person in question really deserves to hear it?
