Tidbits

I found out last night at 10:30 that I had an appointment with my optometrist this afternoon. I scheduled it last year. Next year's appointment is on my calendar at work, so I at least recorded it somewhere in an attempt to learn from this experience. My eyes are healthy, if any of you are wondering ;).

I saw a hitchhiker today. I almost felt bad for not stopping since it was a cold day to be standing outside, but stopping would have been foolish and I wasn't going more than a mile or two down the highway, so it wouldn't have done much good even if he had been harmless and I had stopped. I don't really recall seeing anyone doing that in the past several years (and can't remember any specific instances of it before that, even), so it stuck out in my mind as definitely an unusual sight.

We're supposed to get 5-10 inches of snow tomorrow afternoon. Up to an inch or more per hour, they say. It's supposed to be bad while I am at work, not heavy until after I have to be at work and is scheduled stop or at least lighten up a lot before it's time for me to go home. Leaving work will be, um, fun? Makes me tempted to bring my snow boots for the car extraction process and pack my snow shovel in the trunk. I'm definitely bringing my lunch since I really don't like driving in whiteout conditions. We do get to wear jeans, however, so that's some small consolation.
