Things I wish I were doing during Snowpocalypse 2010:

• Wearing french terry sweatpants
• Watching back-to-back Bravo programming
• Multi-tasking: making coffee and putting liqueur in it while watching Bravo
• Googling jobs in LA and also resort wear
• Finding every way possible to avoid having to wear UGGs in public

Here are some things I don't really wish to be doing: 

• Walking from my office to the bus stop and then waiting (downwind) for it to be 10-15 minutes delayed.
• This is more theoretical, but still: I rarely see people I find attractive in Milwaukee at all, much less on the bus or in bars, which are like the only two places I ever spend any time. Recently, I've noticed that the only days that I have actually spotted reasonably attractive men my age on the bus are also the same days that I'm wearing UGG boots (and also, glaring because that's what I do when it snows). This seems generally unfair, especially because in Appleton, UGGs weren't even seen as a necessary evil. They were revered as a style item. The adjustment is brutal, especially in a blizzard.

 I also have a job application to finish up, so that hopefully next year I can help kids get into college instead of help my boss fill out her expense reports and serve water to her. I could be sitting at home in my previously mentioned terry cloth and flannel ensemble, crafting a tear-jerking masterpiece, but no, I'm sitting at my desk looking busy, because of course my boss didn't come in today (but sees fit to send numerous emails about how people are "overreacting" to the blizzard). No hate, just UGH. SNO- frustrating. (Sorry for that).
