Random thoughts instead of work

redhedlvr2I *must* buy a snowblower.
I will never complain about my mailbox being vandalized again. Well, maybe for another year or so at least. I was on my way to work and happened to notice several mailboxes either lying on the ground, hanging by a few nails, or completely severed from their posts coutersy of the snow plows trying to keep up with our recent snowfall. One that I saw had been reattached to the post by someone winding some type of cable around the box and the arm that sticks out. Now, why didn't I think of that?
On the subject of mailboxes, mine has just the box peeping up over the mounded snow. The pile of snow in front of the box is about three feet deep up near the lid and at least four feet wide. I may never get mail again.
I listen to AOL Radio at work. It's free and doesn't have too many commercials. Used to not have any, but that's a complaint for another post. I like to try out different stations just for variety. There's a little star rating system at the bottom so I can rate the songs I hear. With my tried and true stations I don't have any problem rating things, but when I am on a new station, I don't rate. I feel I'm just a visitor there so why mess things up for the usual listeners. But I have to say, The Allman Brothers Jessica will only get a one star rating no matter what station I hear it on.
You know you play too much WoW when you compare shoveling out your driveway to tackling an instance in the game. My daughter and I were the DPS hanging tough with all the minor trash, while the boss (the cement textured, frozen snow/slush) sat and laughed at us from the very end of the driveway. We then realized we needed a tank (my son) to help out. A few healers would have been nice too.
And on the gaming front, I think I burned out on Star Trek Online. I haven't played in a week, but am going gang busters in WoW again.
Now back to work.
