Monday night the tornado sirens went off somewhere around 2:30/2:45am according to Husband. I got myself out of bed at 3 to check on him and make sure things were ok. As we're trying to go back to sleep it starts to hail but tappers off after a few minutes. Sometime around 4:30am (I think) another storm hit and scared me to death. We didn't get much sleep that night. Tonight it's storming (sorta) again. It seems to be all south of here though.
All that being said I loathe Oklahoma meterologist. Loathe them. Anyone who has spent any time in Oklahoma knows that the meterologist around here live for severe weather. They will find any reason to interrupt your regularly scheduled program to tell you about the "possible severe thunderstorm" heading your way (or not). They won't shut up. Tonight I'm missing my Criminal Minds because there's some "severe weather" 90+ miles southeast of here. That being said. When something actually happens around here you'd think they'd do a better job. Most of the time they seem completely disorganized and unprofessional. I'm just a little bitter, that's all.
I finally did it. I turned in my resignation at the vet's office. I was just fed-up. I was getting bitched at because I was taking up too many hours. Somehow they just can't afford an additional 5 hrs a week so that I could actually do a decent job every job. (Even though I was only getting approx 20hrs a week anyway) The breaking point came when the evil practice manager didn't have the balls to talk to me herself and instead sent in the vet to do her dirty work. I felt like she was trying to run me off because she had no real reason to actually fire me. Bitch.
Anyone want to offer me a job by the way? I've been sending out my resume/applying for positions but I'm getting no response. Obviously if I was a man who was willing to do manual labor this would not be a problem. Too bad I'm a woman with a useless college degree. Ah well.
Husband also thinks he may be able to get out of his fall deployment. Although it's the military so you never know for sure.
We attempted to go biking the other day. Exactly 45 seconds into our first attempt Husband blows his back tire. The next day we try to leave and I have a flat on my back tire. Once we finally get out and biking after many failed attempts I collapse onto the side of the path a mere 1.25 miles into the ride. I'm offically a lazy ass.
Oh well. That my attempt at an update for now.

I would KILL to have my Oklahoma weathermen back. Specifically, I want my Gary England! I miss OKC news and weather!
I know it bugged you to miss your show, but my cousin was one of the people who was in the storm that you're talking about. She gets Tulsa stations because it's the closest metro area to her. It sucks for the people in Tulsa, but it's a lifesaver for the people who aren't in the metro. I used to live in Weatherford, OK, and it seemed we got pounded all the time. Had it not been for the OKC stations, we would've had no weather coverage.
Congrats on leaving the job. It sounds like it was much more stress than it were worth. If you're up for a boring, repetitive job but has good pay, you can always look into the old Google gig. Sending positive vibes your way!
