The weather was a little colder today — naturally on a day when I finally wore a lighter coat — but it was still remarkably unlike today last year. I remembered watching Groundhog Day last Groundhog Day — and remember when that was just a funny movie, not some weird cultural touchstone everyone had to reference? — but I was a little surprised to re-discover that I’d stayed home because of an ice storm. Last winter was actually kind of ridiculous, but it’s still amazing, a year later, to see that I wrote things like “I’m really kind of sick of snow at this point” — considering that we’ve had practically none this year.
One thing I have had plenty of this year — and how’s that for a segue? — is meetings. Today was no exception, with a morning meeting and then afternoon lunch (free pizza!), where we were encouraged to mingle with our co-workers.
I don’t think I have any meetings planned for tomorrow, but I also don’t have any ice storms planned to save me from them should one occur.
