Weekend 2: The Lazening

Gotta love snow storms. Last week we had 2 rather unpleasant storms, one on Monday and the other on Thursday. I don't work on Thursdays so that one didn't have much of an impact on me.

I do work on Mondays and they even declared an "Inclement Weather Day" at work but the snow let up quite a bit in the afternoon and the roads were plowed so I came to work. It turns out about 80% of people did not. Despite the fact the roads and weather conditions weren't that bad, the 'inclement weather day' gave everyone an excuse to have an unpaid day off if they wanted it. Obviously most people did. There were about 12 of us who came in for the 5 o'clock shift instead of the usual 60-70. I wanted that day off and I was hoping the weather would continue to be stormy but it didn't so I didn't think I had a good reason not to go to work. Apparenlty I'm less lazy (relatively) than I thought.

Today we got another storm and while it wasn't TOO bad in the morning from the sounds of things it was going to be really hard for me to get back home. I could have stayed at one of several places in NG but I'd rather have a day off and spend the evening at home.

Despite what you may be lead to believe by the title of this post, it wasn't all being lazy today. I actually spent a good portion of the day (3 hours or so) organizing my CDs and what not. I have a CD binder which used to have my 'backed up' DVDs in it but I realized I had a lot more CDs of stuff than DVDs so it made more sense to transfer the CDs to the binder. The process would have been fairly quick but some of the CDs were from the pre CD marker having era so I had to load those ones up to make sure the case was accurate as far as what was inside.

At the end of the whole process I had 145 CDs in the binder ranging from MST3K (25 eps/CDs) to anime (quite a few series) to games to Duckman to misc stuff (I have like 6 or 7 CDs that have 'misc' on them). And that's not counting all the DVD stuff. Now I just have to catalog all my various CDs and DVDs in a catalogue of some sort.

So it wasn't all lazy stuff. Of course, the rest of the day was pretty much just me lounging around and being lazy. From the sounds of things Weekend 2 could end up being extended another day so if that happens maybe I'll get even more quasi-productive. Time shall tell.

It seems to take a bit more to get a day off out of a snow storm than it did back during my school days but still have to appreciate any weather condition that encourages an increase in free time.
