The Day of Traffic!
Dec. 12th, 2017 11:49 pmThe building's holiday party was lovely. They had in a crew called "The Omelette Chefs" who didn't make us omelettes. They had pans and burners in rows set up in the cafeteria where my work met all through the summer. It was neat to see so many people in our abandoned cafeteria! Anyway, the chefs made us pasta right there (is made-to-order the right term?). It was good, even though my stomach didn't like something about it later on. The mushrooms were especially delicious. And we weren't required to eat it there and socialize with people from other offices in the building. Free food and no obligation to make small talk? That's the BEST!
I left work at 4 today, half an hour later than usual, and ended up in bad traffic (though I would have hit it even if I'd left at 3:30). It usually takes me an hour and 15 minutes to get home. Today it was over 2 hours. I had snacks and drinks in the car, and I'm listening to a guilty pleasure right now: a Disney Descendants novel. I counted 19 police or state trooper cars, 4 fire engines, and 2 ambulances go past me. I got home to feed my cats and didn't get to the library for my 6pm shift until 6:40 and then the wonderful librarians kept roping me into great conversations about Star Wars and Disney and Harry Potter and Outlander and The Crown and even Grantchester. I GOT TO TALK GRANTCHESTER WITH ANOTHER HUMAN BEING IN PERSON TONIGHT! Anyway, I didn't get to meyldia's house to feed her cats until 8pm. I got to Panera for dinner at 9:20 (they closed at 9:30) but tonight there were bread bowls at least. The wind was HORRIBLE and it was cold and I was tired and, basically, I got nothing else done today.
I'm so tired.
