Austin was great! It was the first time I've really been to Texas. I say really because I was there for a work thing (different company) about 10 years ago, and the function was at a big hotel right at the airport in Dallas, I believe. So, I don't count that because I didn't really see any of Texas.
This time, though, we had the opportunity to check out some of the local night spots, try some outstanding restaurants and do a little shopping.
Did I mention that we did a lot of work, too, because that is what we were there for?! All of that went well and those we worked with were fantastic. It was great to see our friends and make some new ones.
So, this is terribly generic, undetailed and short because I'm just getting my act together and back into the swing of things, but I'll post more, soon...

Why Snow Sucks...
Living in Ohio means that you either get extremely mild weather or extremely sucky weather.
This week, we're experiencing the extremely sucky stuff.
Yesterday, it snowed and snowed and snowed. Last evening, the icey rain began and by this morning, there was about an inch of ice on my car. The ice turned back to snow as I chipped out. And it's still snowing and snowing and snowing.
My company apparently decided to delay our starting time (from 8 a.m. til 10 a.m.), but since the only station we report to didn't display the delay before 6:30 a.m., lots of our employees were already on the road by then. I missed the annoucement and came on in.
Now we're stuck here. In my opinion, we shouldn't even be open today. The University of Cincinnati closed today and they NEVER close!
The cafeteria is closed for today, so anyone who does manage to make it here, thinking they're going to get to eat lunch at some point, is going to be unhappy...there is no way anyone could go out for lunch today - most of the restaurants are closed.
So, I'm kind of p*ssed off. I have no idea how I'm going to get home, no idea why we are here, no idea.
Yes, I'm blessed to have a job...thank goodness for my job. I love my job. But this is just plain old dangerous...
