Much Ado About Nothing

I keep waiting until something of interest happens before I update my blog and I've finally decided that that day may never come. So here is my blog about nothing. I'm really just killing time until Veronica Mars finishes taping and I can use the remote again. The TV remote is broken which is of course horrific, but I can use the VCR remote to change channels but only when nothing is taping. I realize how incredibly stupid and shallow that sounds- don't think that I don't. But you've been warned that this was about nothing. The very ,very small details of my life. So- where was I? Oh yes... my TV is incapacitated. And I am here. Writing. My life has been pretty dull lately. Work, eat, sleep... repeat. My job is OK. Not something I'd like to do long term but I don't have to. I'm doing admin for a construction company. The people I work with are mostly really nice. There are a couple of VERY grumpy ones, but they are the minority. So that's 40 hours of my week. The rest? Well, sometimes I don't know where it goes. I watch a little TV, I go for a walk every couple of days, a little cooking, very little cleaning... Ok you all know I'm lying about the TV part- I watch a lot of TV. But it's research for the future right? Right? Hopefully it will be.

I watched the second to last episode of Gilmore Girls tonight. Very sad...I love that show. But I've had 7 years with the girls and I got to visit Stars Hollow in person so I can't complain. But it's still sad. I'm glad Rory said no to Logan . I didn't like them together. I wanted her to be with Jess, but he's off saving the world from an exploding man. I realize that last part may not be making sense to anyone but me, and fellow watchers of GG and Heroes. So that's all. About that.

Lately I've been spending more of my day in traffic than usual because it's road construction season here in Calgary. And there is also a threat of a transit strike which always makes life interesting. I have several snags in my usually seamless route. But I can deal with that. Because it's been winter for a really long time here and the roads have to get fixed sometime. What I can't deal with is the other drivers. People go all nuts when traffic gets bad. No one likes sitting in their car for an extra half hour but that's no reason to act like a crazy person. And somehow it gives them license to ignore all the signs and rules of the road that previously applied. Like signaling, stopping at red lights, not blocking intersections, not driving the wrong way during lane reversal downtown(someone almost hit me this morning). The giant red X means "YOU CAN"T DRIVE IN THIS LANE!". And while I'm on the subject of driving, can anyone tell me when school zones start and end? This is a personal pet peeve of mine. Please don't take this to mean that I am for speeding in school zones- Absolutely not! But come on! It's right on the sign. 8:00am to 5:00pm. Not 7:00am to 6:30pm. Not Saturdays, or Sundays. Did you go to school on Saturday when you were a kid? Are your kids in school until 7:00 at night? NO! And all year school does not mean 24/7 school. (This is me talking to other drivers now, in case you were wondering) Anyway- that's been on my mind for a while and I feel MUCH better having said it.
So... that's a whole lot of nothing. And it's after 8:00 so I can go back to my dear friend the television. I can't wait to watch Veronica Mars- such a great show if you've never seen it. Really. So that's all. For now.
