Well, I got the job! It's a bit scary going corporate, even for a smallish company. A big jump from academics. But I've been needing to be challenged - I just hope it is in a good way!

In other news we're having a nasty nor'easter this evening. The snow was really nice earlier today, but I had to drive 128S to Riverside to pick someone up this evening. The drive down was at the tail of the commute and high in the storm and just sucked! What normally would be a 25 minute drive took twice that and I was wiped out and had a headache by the time I got there. Thankfully I had nearly a half hour to unwind before his bus arrived. The ride home wasn't nearly so bad; the plows had been making a dent in the road, there was less traffic and it wasn't snowing much more.

Now though it has turned into a freezing rain. Freezing rain is about the only part of winter I really loath. I don't mind the cold, at least as long as it isn't too far below freezing. And I love snow. But cold rain, black ice and frozen snow bite. And we've had too much of that already this winter!

Time to have another beer, a clove, go grab a book and read by the fire!
