Valentine's Day, Part 1 - The Snow

We had three lousy inches, after all that buildup.  And it got warm this morning, so the freezing rain and hail didn't even turn into sheets of ice.  Fortunately, this is DC, so that little bit of weather caused mass hysteria, and we got to come to work 2 hours late.  And I tried to be nice, and come in at 9:30 (which would make me 1/2 hour early for the delayed opening), but my commute took twice as long as usual.  I ride the Metro.  Granted, part of my ride is outdoors, but it was THREE INCHES!  Sheesh!

Out of the 79 people in my office, 8 are here.

Valentine's Day, Part 2 - The Writing

Has gone about as badly as a day of prodding a dead horse in hopes that it will magically revive can go.  May be cranky.  

Thinking of giving up on Willow for a while, and using someone else to shamelessly advance my plot.  Will see how tonight goes.  I'm hoping everyone will take off at a reasonable hour tonight, and I'll get some work done.  

As for the V-Day fic I swore for months I would get done?  It's officially dead in the water.  Better luck next year, I guess.  That's especially sad because I said it last year.  *sigh*

On an unrelated note, notice the adorable Spike Icon?  I'd love to give the creator his/her dues, but I honestly don't remember who I swiped it from.  Most unfortunate, especially as there was another Icon I thought I'd saved off the same site, and I can't find it on my computer.  Grrr.  So, anyway, if you are the talented creator of pensive-attorney Spike Icon, many thanks.  I'd like to thank kimrae1977 for it, it is very swell indeed.  I suck at doing my own graphics, but am more than happy to take on custody of such little sweeties when I spy them.
