Please note - If you are reading this post because you think it will my thoughts on a certain Mortal Kombat character*, you are sadly mistaken.
Just because I wasn't at work today didn't mean I wasn't working. Unless you consider putting tinsel on an 11 foot Christmas tree with a 120 lb Rottweiler who thinks the thin, silver plastic strands are a treat isn't work.
You ever put in for a vacation day towards the end of the year (because your company has it 'use it or lose it" policy) and wonder if you picked the correct random day? Well, I guess I picked the right day, since I was 80 miles from home at my moms place when the Midwest decided to re-enact the movie The Day After Tomorrow. 50 mph winds, blowing snow, freezing temperatures - the whole 9 yards. And since I didn't think Dennis Quaid would be coming to rescue me from the frozen tundra and deliver me to work this morning, kudos to me for taking today off!
How much do you think it would cost to invent a giant hairdryer that can be strapped to the back of snow plows so they could melt the snow off the streets? And follow up, do you think the car wash people would fight this invention since it would mean no more salt, which would me no more car washes?
Taking a break from a craft project. That project? Making a pinata of my company logo for our fiesta themed holiday party Yes, I am that cool of an employee.
My purchases from Cyber Monday finally showed up. 5 brand new pairs of pants specifically purchased to enhance my work wardrobe. Because, as it turns out, most companies don't like it when you show up without pants on. I can only assume Chippendales is one of the few exceptions to this rule.

* BTW - The entire time I was typing this entry I had the MK theme song stuck in my head. Damn that song is catchy.

Very, very catchy I had the theme in my head the whole time I was reading your post! Amazing how suggestive the words "sub-zero" or "mortal kombat" are.
This weather does suck.
Also, Lu Kang is better.
Honestly, I was more of a Street Fighter chick.
And I just realized I didn't colorize this post as usual. Oh fail on my part.
When our fridge was acting up and I was looking into replacing it I Googled "Sub Zero" looking for places that sell them. The first link was for the fridge people, the next like 5 were for the Mortal Kombat character. It was awesome.
