December 9: I am spoiled.
Man, I got problems. You know how I bought earphones for to use in my office, and I was loving the sound? I still love the sound, but I am hating the earphones. I got the kind that sort of sit on your ears and wrap around the back of your head, because I can't get the kind that go into your ears to stay, you know, in my ears, and apparently only a lamechuck fool wears the kind that go over your head anymore. But at least the headband kind were adjustable. These round-the-back earphones were clearly designed for people who have no hair, because the earpieces barely reach my ears if I put them over my hair. If I put the band part under my hair, the hair pushes down on the phones and they make my ears hurt. And then there's their vise-like grip. It's like a vise!
We got about five inches of snow yesterday, and for the moment, it's quite pretty. I very nearly got in an accident leaving work, but all's well that ends well on that end. I hear you're getting A LOT of snow. Hope it's pretty and not too cold!

yer not spoiled. you are just blessed with a bounty of hair.
bad headphones make a stress-releasing activity uber stressful. and things that do that are bad.
sorry to not get back to you about the snow -- i left ny fri afternoon very hungover (we had some light to medium snow fall that day, i think), and got back this evening. heard we got hit some, but that's all i know.
so, so far, ive missed most of the bad weather action. hope i don't have rainchecks coming.
was in chi last nite til this afternoon. looks like yer weather is looking up, yeah? no accidents, either way.
get some new ones! big and head covering! then, on not so great days, or at not so great moments, you can put em on and *BAM!* yer not a mild mannered editor in an office -- yer the dj of this hot dance club doing yer thang from inside yer much lusted-after glass-walled sound booth!
*BAM!*
and ear plug headphones are the most IDIOTishly designed things almost ever.
I'll probably just get over my big head thing. The groovy thing about the behind-the-head ones is that when my hair is down, nobody can see them at all, so I can just ignore everybody and they don't even know I'm doing it.
