So, it's a double update this afternoon.
*cue the news music*
In the news today...
especially compared to yesterday. Call volume is much lower and most of the calls have been simple calls along the lines of where is my order, when did it ship, etc. Today is a bit too slow for my liking, but on the upside, it's not crazed insanity like yesterday.
and damn the National Weather Service as well. NWS/Chanhassen has been flopping around on their forecasts like a freshly caught fish laying on the shore. In 18 hours from 8pm last night to now, our forecast has changed from "Flurries and scattered snow showers" to a Snow Advisory headline calling for 2-4" of snow to calling for 1-2" of snow. I studied meteorology and I know that forecasting QPF..err...precipitation amounts isn't easy. It's rather tough actually, but I also understand that flip-flopping on the forecast that dramatically and that often lowers public trust and confidence in the forecast product. I'm seriously considering starting to post a forecast for the Twin Cities Metro each day and letting my own accuracy stand up against the NWS forecast.
is a good thing! I went to bed at 9pm last night, woke up and went to the bathroom around 2am, ditto at 6am, then the alarm went off at 9am this morning. I woke up and actually didn't feel like I was weighted down and dragging. Granted, I'm still catching up from last weeks cold, but I'm finally feeling like myself again.
until you try writing. I've been sitting on my novel now for quite a while, unable to break through the mental block I had at a certain point. I tried working on other sections, doing character backgrounds, anything to get myself moving on this section. No luck. A couple of nights ago, I sat down and the next thing I knew I had added four pages to things. I was quite pleased with myself.
was quite interesting. I had a good 10-15 discussion on the different 'clairs'. Clairvoyance, Clairaudience, and Clairsentience. Amazingly the discussion didn't involve our favorite asshat "Sorvuso". I'm still curious about that name and what it signifies in the grand scheme of things. The whole topic of discussion is doubly interesting since I put my Tarot cards and both books that I have regarding them into my backpack today to bring to work in case it was a typical slow Thursday.
turned out to be very interesting. St. Cloud MN 1" of snow. Alexandria 2". Albany MN (between the two) 5".
And that's the news for now...
This is JT, the big bear, saying good night!
