Snow

Everything is going good with me. I worked at my host site for a week and then it shut down for the Christmas Season. So once again I'm at the YMCA but it's pretty cool. I get to do front end reception today and then just random little tasks, but hey better than sitting in a classroom :)

So over the last few days we've had snow, which is really awesome, except that Ontarian's don't know how to drive in it. Today I left for work at my usual time around 7:50 AM and once I get onto the main road there was this one person driving 60 and the speed limit is 80 and for one the roads weren't even that bad...well I didn't think so, and two they should learn how to drive. Anyway, when it was safe, I passed her but because my window washer fluid wasn't working I had to stop at the gas station to clean my window and by the time I pulled out she had just driven past the gas station. So once again I was stuck behind her along with a whole line of cars. By that time it had slowed down to about 30kms which I drove all the way to Waterdown. Then I had to clean my windshield again, after that I pulled back into traffic and was going down a big hill behind a semi, that when it put it's brakes on his trailer swung over the next lane a bit and I'm starting to freak out that I'm going to hit it. Following that thing I was only going about 5kms/hr. So needless to say I was 10 min late for work. Took me an 1hr 20 min to get to work which usually only takes 30min.
I think I'm done venting.  :)

Here are a few pictures to brighten the mood a little.
