Well, so much for making it into the office today. I couldn't even make it all the way out of my driveway. I got a good start, and it looked like I was going to do it, but then I slid forward into a snowbank and got my left front tire stuck but good. It's staying there until my big brother gets here with his big ol' shovel to help me dig it out.

I think all of this is an excellent argument in favor of the company assigning me a laptop (or else licensing me copies of all of the necessary (read: good) software to install on mine) and giving me dial-up access to the network. Then I could have been working all week and my personal time bank wouldn't now be in the hole.

As it is, the time off has been put to fairly good use... I cleaned my bathroom, put away boxes that were still sitting around from when I moved in here a year ago, did some laundry, and started a new workout routine. I wish I could say I've taken advantage of the time to write like a good little writer person, but, well, that would be lying; but today will be spent writing (except for the parts that are spent trying to unstick my car). I'm going to finish my article proposal and try to finish the rough draft of that story I started last time I was snowed in but haven't really worked on since.

I really have got to get myself a routine.
