Christmas Blizzard 2009.....OH NO!

Ok, so let's be honest....I could totally get home. It seems that the few times it snows in Nebraska, people take too many precautions. One of the joys of working where I do is the opportunity to claim a room....I had to find out from other people! haha!! What you do is call the person in charge and request a room, and walah...your very own place. My place had cable tv, a bath tub (I took a bubble bath later that night!), a comfy bed, and a refrigerator. Since I am the operator, I know all of the extensions to the places important if I need anything.....housekeeping and cafeteria! =)My family wasn't doing anything for Christmas, so I spent it exploring an adventure...haha, lots of fun! Many of the other workplaces over Omaha required people to stay there...they would stay in rooms for 12 hours and work 12 hours and repeat....A coworker of mine tried to get a poker game going on later the next day...calling all the people staying over. We were all going to meet in the cafeteria. We didn't have anything worth of value (except a cheeseburger or something), so the game was cancelled....maybe next time! Only me and another person work weekends in our department, so when I was awake, she slept. When I slept, she worked, so we only had to use one room....I have great coworkers. =D

This was the Christmas Eve service at church....seriously, we did the whole "candle-lighting service" thing.....uber fun! So much fun to see everyone having a bright light right by them. This was when everyone had heard about the amazing Christmas blizzard coming....that is why I went to the earliest church service there was. As we were coming out and the next group was coming in, you could sense the tension to get done with the service! haha....good times! SO worried that I was going to drip my candle on something!!

Some of the computer guys wanted to do a computer slide show thing, so they continued to hound for baby pics from us....I finally jumped on the internet, found one, and sent it as me. EVERY time this picture was up, there was somebody that had to comment how cute he was. I eventually had small sects of people clued in, and we were all dying as a person continued to comment on how cute I was. I didn't want to be rude, so I thanked them each time! =D

This was my work Christmas party. Tamara was tired of people thinking our department was dull and boring. She had me meet her at Nobbies, and we went to town! haha....we showed up at this party, and it we were received graciously....I think we definitely livened up the place! =D Jan couldn't come (she had to help her grandchildren?), so I plastered her in from another pic...haha, you almost don't realize it! This picture speaks of so much craziness that day! =D
