Flurries, okay, sometimes happens this time of year.
Outright snow? Heck, last time I saw snow coming down like this in October, the entire state ended up shut down the next day.* Wind's really kicking up, too.
Don't suppose I could get so lucky as to be able to work from home tomorrow, actually get some work done...
Oh yeah, they told me at 4 this afternoon that not only am I teaching people how to use Dreamweaver and Fireworks, they need a whole bunch of pages built by EOD Friday. Since there's no WAY they'll be able to do them all by then, especially since they're just learning how to do HTML, guess who's expected to do it? Oh, and they want the whole color scheme changed, but they don't know yet what they want it changed TO. And they've known all this since before I got there Monday, but they don't tell me until late today.
Knowing that this is par for the course with this client, I'm not entirely sure why I keep accepting contracts with them.
Oh yeah, if I turn it down, I become ineligible for unemployment. *grrrr*
* That would be the famous Halloween Blizzard of 1991 when 30-odd inches of snow fell in 24 hours, starting early Halloween afternoon.

It's time for your equivalent of a pledge drive, Libra. Get out there and hustle up more funds, more applause, more love, more of every little thing you crave. Brazenly tell everyone exactly how much you're worth to them and why they need you. You've heard of matching funds? I'll be lobbying on your behalf with the gods, working to double the hard-earned luck you're drumming up by yourself. Halloween costume suggestions: a T-shirt with your résumé printed on it; a sandwich board with a list of every one of your accomplishments since age five.

Damn, how'd he know?
