The weather outside is frightful

In the past 24 hours, I think we've had about six-odd inches of snow dropped on us here in the Palouse, with plenty more to come, courtesy of yon Arctic cold front. I'm taking a work break, watching crazy college students play a spirited game of tackle football outside my office (seriously, some of these guys are catching the ball better than most people on the football team).

Now, being of Scandahoovian and eastern Oregon descent, I love snow in just about any way, shape or form. I even love driving in the stuff, and am considered on of the Ten Finest Snow Drivers In The Free World. Now, these idiotic Idahoans should not be trusted on the roads in most any situation, but me - I know what I'm doing, although my drive down to Oregon for the holidays could be...interesting.

After four long years of resisting, friends finally pulled me into World of Warcraft. And I'm hooked. On the bright side, it is giving me something to do in the evenings that is somewhat social, but my body is telling me that staying up until one in the a.m. is something we really shouldn't be doing anymore.

Nonetheless, a weekend of game play, sipping hot toddies and trying to level up my troll hunter while watching the snow fall outside with the cats sounds like a decent waste of time.

Oh, and the job front: I did get an interview scheduled for the office assistant job, although I'm not sure how that's going to fit with the idea of a new position just for me...but I'm sure I'll find out soon. Hopefully the snow will be melted by then.

UPDATE: So I just spoke to the Director of Services for Students with Disabilities at COCC, and she said that while they are very much wanting to create a position for me, when and if that happens is contingent upon funding, of which there is very little at COCC, and any work they had right now would be on an as-needed-no-benefits. However, once that position did open, it would be easy to slide me over from the office assistant position, and should definitely plan to come in for the interview, which would be in two weeks.

And, not to jinx it, given that the director really wants me there, probably in any capacity - I like my chances. Fingers and toes crossed, people!
