Yo! Happy to be alive. Some brutal weather we've got here. It was a snow blizzard when it was time to go. I had to drive pretty slow or the big white chunks of white slush would have taken me off the road. Luckily the icy-driving is part of the 1st stage of driving lisence and I did it 2 years ago and I'm actually pretty good at it thanks to my quick reflexes. Sorry to brag... not! Again, happy to be alive. I'm sure there will be news about crashes.. When I got to mom-out-law's yard the driving school called that they don't have winter tires in their cars and we have to reschedule the 2nd stage driving test. I still had to drive 10km out of town in that f'ing slush and windy snowing to do the dark-driving part on a simulator. On the way there there was this tiny crossroads with loads of slush. I was turning right; the car turned to face where I just came from. There was a small truck coming towards me about 100 meters away. I did get the car turned the right way before it was anywhere near me. The car didn't even stop while i did the right manuvers. Can I be proud? I do know how to drive the slippery.. nice to know I hadn't forgot. It did freak out the white van driving way too close behind me. It left more space between us. It was really hard to see anything thru the window. I was surprised how easy the driving came to me anyways.
The dark-driving simulator was like the cheapest kind of computer game. It was really stiff and hard to drive. I did understand what it was teaching but just wouldn't work like a real car. I think it went ok, but I did do a lot mistakes just because the thing wouldn't work right. I hope they mark it passed. I don't want to do that damn thing again.
On my way home it was raining and windy. Some change. Also means the snow will probably be gone soon. Or that it just keeps raining water (daytime) and snow (night/morning) depending on the temperature and the roads will be on icy ruts and then there will be snow on top of it all... ugh, I hate driving winter time...
Honey, I'm so sorry about your boss. Sounds like someone whose given too much power in too young age and it went to her head. You should complain about her to your real bosses, maybe ask a few coworkers to back you up. Non of you should have to work in those conditions.
I just joined Jasmine's nuttyness. I had a small bag of salted cashew nuts. my favorite.
Have a good day everyone!
I'm staying in.. still dinner to do.. vacuuming.. and one sick little boy. Kas got a fever while I was gone. Really fast change. In the morning he was full of energy, now he just sleeps and lies down. Poor dude. ♥
