John’s Blog

 For about the last month or so, every week we have been getting 1 or 2 snow storms. And for some reason one of them always falls on a Monday. Well today is no exception. I got up at 5am to walk the dogs and it was coming down hard and hasn’t let up yet. The weather forecast is calling for 10-12 inches of the white stuff. See I have a love/hate relationship with snow. I think that it is very beautiful and love to sit and watch it snow, love taking my dogs out in it so they can play (one of their favorite things to do). However there are also things I hate about it. Such as shoveling it and driving in it. Now don’t get me wrong I am in no way afraid of driving in the snow. I grew up in the snow. What I hate about driving in it are the idiots and morons you have to deal with. I live in New Hampshire, where most people are pretty good about it, but you still have the occasional moron who thinks that just because he/she has a 4 wheel drive vehicle they are invincible and takes way to many chances driving. But they pale in comparison to the total retards that come up here from Massachusetts. They either drive way to fast for the road conditions, or on the other hand way too slow. It’s having to deal with people like that, that makes me dread driving in bad weather. But alas, I have to work, have to get to the store, have to go somewhere, so I deal with it. On the bright side, I don’t have to today. The snow is falling and I am just enjoying watching it. My office is closed until Wednesday, so I didn’t have to get out there and commute this morning. I have some errands to run later today. But by then things will have either cleared up, or they will have taken better care of the roads. Either way, I’m sitting here typing this, drinking my coffee, and watching the storm. It really is a nice way to start the week. Especially since the holiday stress of Christmas is over. I busted ass at the office on Saturday making sure that we got the end of year inventory done, so that everyone could have a nice three days off for New Year’s. We will be having a quiet New Year’s this year. The wife and I are staying home, having a few friends over to watch the ball drop and celebrating quietly (although I did make a run for some champagne and liquor…gotta have something to toast the new year).

Well it has been a while since I have posted anything on here. Seems like everytime I say I am going to get better about posting more often something comes up and I never do. This time it has been both work and the impending holiday. I manage a business that also has a retail shop, so with it being Christmas time that has been extra busy. Add to that the fact that the end of the year is approaching, which means that many business are looking for end of year write offs. We have been building out and installing servers, desktops, and laptops for business clients all month. Which has had me running like a mad man since 99% of the field service calls are done by me. All that has left me with little free time at home, and what free time I do have has been spent preparing for the holidays. I am at the office today finishing up a few things here before taking 3 days off for Christmas. We have our Chrismas party tonight for work and then I will be doing some work from home on Monday before heading to Maine to spend Christmas with the wife’s family. I hope to do some updatting of the blog and such during the break.  But if I don’t post again before the big day…Merry Christmas!!
