so I finally made it into work today ... driving on the beltway was a hairy experience ... suddenly lanes would disappear due to huge snow drifts and people were merge without looking ... there was about a foot of hardened snow on the roof of my car that decided to dislodge while going 60 on the beltway ... it slid onto my windshield completely blocking my view ... seeing nothing was next to me I swerved into the lane to my left and back again to jar it off the window ... it worked but it left a huge block of ice on the road ...


my office is in a rural area and roads were only partially cleared ... people were driving sooooooo close to each other trying to use the 2/3s of a lane that were open ... and once getting to the office I had to shift the car into 4-wheel drive so I could park on a huge snow drift ...


even though it took me 3 times as long to get home I was so happy to get here ... thank goodness tomorrow is Friday ... what a dork huh ... I missed 3 days of work and I am already looking forward to the weekend ...


I've been stressing out today ... even though my job is fine ... I don't want to still be doing this when I am 50 years old ... in fact I don't want to be doing this when I am 35 ... I need to start looking into other options ... I really would like to learn how to do transcription ... I would like to learn how to be a court reporter ... and do close captioning for television ... I have started looking for a school around here where I could take classes at night but haven't found anything ... I did find a teach yourself program but it is a bit expensive ... which makes me nervous ... I don't really have the money to shell out ... especially if it turns out to be something that is hard to learn on your own ... I guess I will have to continue my search because I believe it is what I really want to do ... :)


ok time to clean house ... what fun
