I am sooo burnt out...

Well..last night was busy for me..was up til 5am baking cookies..Oh Great One...I so feel your pain right now! You'd think that after my long hours, yours truly could finally sleep as soon as her head touched the pillow. Yeah, right. I did not sleep til 7am. But I figured I could get some good shuteye anyways, cause Mom didn't need me til 1 pm in the restaurant. Would you believe that at 11AM...the phone rang. Now...I'm the type of person who could have a alarm clock blasting noise right in my ears for hours on end once I fall asleep and I won't hear it, but for some reason the moment I hear that fucking phone ring (out in the living room even), I instantly (on the first ring mind you) am out of bed and running to the phone. I caught it after the second ring, and said "Hello?........Hellloooooo...Helllllooooooooooo!!!!!" No one is on the fucking line and so thinking that perhaps Mom had called me and hung up just as a signal to get downstairs sooner, I call her at the restaurant. Turns out it wasn't her after all. Its 11:15 am now, and I'm wide awake after only 3-4hrs max of sleep. The night before that was the same thing in terms of actual sleep time. I knew I could not go back to bed to take an hour nap. So I have been toying with the idea of letting Pizzaslinger answer the phone. Prob is we don't have call display at home but I can *69. Here was one phone greeting I toyed with using when I am rudely woken from my fitful slumber by some jackoff trying to sell me shit I don't need over the phone:

Phone rings. Pizzaslinger answers, "YOU'D BETTER BE ON FIRE ASSHOLE!!!"

or

Phone rings.Pizzaslinger answers, "You'd better be bleeding to death to disturb my sleep, cause if you're not, I'm tracking your sorry ass down. I'll stick this cordless right up your ass if you call me again. FUCK OFF!!!!"

or

Phone rings. Pizzaslinger answers. SOmeone on the line asking for money to support some cause or another. Pizzalinger replies, " I don't have money to donate..but it sounds like you do! Can you donate 50 bucks to my charity? Its called...Call Me Again And You'll Choke On Your Own Nuts..Asshole... Leave me the fuck alone jerk!!!!"

Well...some ideas...try one of them and let me know how it works.
So I did get a break from work and now I have to make my way downstairs to greet the drunk crowd, which is well....not the greatest use of my time, I'll say that. At any rate..Sometimes they can be cheap entertaiment. We had freezing rain outside, so hopefully I'll see some drunk trying to cross the street and fall flat on his ass.
Weather here is freezing rain, and just rain. What the weather like where you are? And Sugarfoot..I heard Denver Airport is still in a shitstorm...hope you get out of Vegas soon, and home before Christmas.

Sorry about your broken sleep. That really bites!

I saw all the news about the snow in Colorado and it made me miss home! *sniff*

Took your advice Slinger and drove home. Any other time of year would have been fun to stay stranded in Vegas, especially off of someone else's dime but not for the Holidays. The airlines said they couldn't get us home until maybe Monday.

I got home to my neighbors wondering where I was. I live in a neighborhood with mostly old people and I have the only snowblower in a one mile area. 10 horses of two-stage, self-propelled, electric start, snow eating power! I dig out the old folks, anyone else who is young, relatively healthy or has kids who should be out shoveling snow are on their own. The city still hasn't swept our street and the news is reporting another 16 or more inches of snow by Saturday. We have the street clear enough to get to the main road but more snow is going to make it tough. I spent from Friday afternoon when I got home until Monday morning digging and digging. Not that I mind, it's actually easy and near brainless work, nice pace from the normal rat race.
