Global Warming's Got Nothin' on ATL

All I’ve to say today is IT SNOWED IN ATLANTA!!!! You see Atlanta, or Hotlanta as it is commonly referred to, very rarely sees snow and its temperatures are usually very mild even during the winter. This rare occurrence of snow is mindboggling for those of us that reside here, and when the snow came last night I can say with absolute certainty that the city freaked out.

Traffic was horrendous, with people driving five miles an hour on the major highways. A commute of twenty minutes took most people an hour and a half. Children everywhere were outside screaming, laughing and playing in the now. Even today, the conversation at my workplace is centered solely on the fact that IT SNOWED IN ATLANTA!!!

It’s almost Friday people, hang in there.

Welcome to the Jungle

This blog post is going to be fairly quick today as I’m at work, trying to prepare for the four-day week. Actually, the next three weeks of July will be 4-day weeks for me due to a few quick vacations so I’m pretty pumped.

You know what I’m not pumped about? The air conditioning in my building at work must be on the fritz because it is sweltering in here. People are sweating, grumpy and falling asleep at their desks because of the devilish heat in my office.

There are should be an employee Bill of Rights and one of the items should be the right to go home when your office is a sweltering jungle.

I’m trying so hard to get work done but it seems as though every time I try to move, my shirt gets stuck to my back and my jeans feel like garbage bags suctioned to my legs. People it is hot in here and it’s not just my gorgeous looks that are bringing on the heat!

TGIF!

Friday is finally here! You would think with it being a short week that this week would go by so quickly. Wrong! I feel as if this week has been longer than ever. Incredibly long hours at the office may have been contributing to this though. Thank goodness I love my job because it’s been crazy here!

Not much on tap for the weekend. Spending time at the pool tomorrow followed by the Virginia Highlands festival, which is supposed to be tons of fun. I’m a sucker for arts, crafts, jewelry and live music.

I hope everyone has a heart healthy weekend! Be careful and if you’re planning on spending time outside in the sun be sure to wear sunscreen!
