PAYDAY. YEAH. I had a dream about it last night. That I got the uniform, and I was wearing it, and it was awesome. Only, of course, dream world effed it up some. It was too long. More like a dress and really tight. Made it hard to walk. Of course I didn't care.

I teased with someone, that I could totally dress up when I get it, go outside, take some pictures and pretend I am Joshua IN ALASKA BECAUSE THERE IS STILL SO MUCH FUCKING SNOW OUTSIDE. DAMNIT.

AND IT'S SNOWING RIGHT NOW. It's been snowing since last night and looking outside I would guess we got three or four inches over night. However, when I went to bed it wasn't snowing hard. Now it is snowing hard. Yay for walking to work.

I am so sick of snow. Can ya tell? And when it is not snowing, we have temperatures in the single digits or below zero. Below Zero.

Goddess help me, even if I find the love of my life and they love me back here in Spokane, I am so totally not living here forever. I could not deal with this year after year. Spokane is a darling cute little city. I love it. But I really didn't realize I signed up to have Canada sit on top of me for five months out of the year. I will drag their ass down south. I swear to god. If they are in to snowboarding or skiing, well, I will find some mountains to live by.

Everyone here keeps telling me this isn't normal. But being that it wasn't "normal" last year either. . .I am wondering if this is the new "normal". ARGH.

I'm hungry. I am going to eat some grapefruit!

News is down today so I am in the newsroom rockin' the web computer. I am sitting at the "producer" island thing. It's rough since I have a lot of work to do outside of helping news, but I can't work on some things from down here. No Photoshop of Flash and all.

Because I don't normally work with news, I don't know what their workflow is, I don't have access to ENPS ( The program used for holding scripts and timing a newscast ), and I am limited in what I can do. Except for update their website. I can update the website. :D So I avoid answering the phones. Around me I kept hearing people say the same thing when answering. See, with all the snow, Spokane keeps having businesses with roofs collapsing. The city is asking people to take on a job and help clean off roofs. ( $15 per hour. ) So a lot of people are calling for the phone number.

I took down the information and answered my first phone when I saw all hands tied up.

. . .

I got someone complaining about the DTV coupon program. See, the Government is helping consumers out with shoveling out $50 for a converter box with a coupon while TV stations have to spend millions of dollars in this troubled economy. They've been offering this ALL 2008. Or most of it. The deadline was December 31st. We did some news stories about it. It's because of the funds the government set aside isn't infinite.

It's mentioned in several DTV coupon commercials that you have to call because of a limit. We've been doing coverage on this all 2008 as required by the FCC.

So this caller is upset saying he didn't know and that it isn't fair. That the government made it up and that we haven't said anything about it.

I fear February 18th.

Today was going to be so awesome. I was so excited and happy.

Today has been nothing but embarrassing embarrassing hell. Yeah. I don't mind being embarrassed once or twice, but this whole day has been really really bad.

I'm still at work. I don't know when I will get to leave. To make it even more fitting, the light above my cubicle went out so I am sitting in the dark while typing this.

And it is after five so it will have to be changed tomorrow. I'm not going to be online tonight. I rather just sit and have a good needed cry.

Though I will probably play FFXII.

I am feeling a little better. Still don't want to face work, though. Argh.

But talking to people, looking on twitter, and just from what I can tell. . .it is one of those days. I would say "Come on! Let's form a club. We can hold our meetings at the bar." But, ya know. Last Friday. . .I think I had my fill of alcohol for a while. :3;;

The big suck of today for me, doesn't seem so bad right now.
