You can talk about whatever is on your mind – quality of life issues, a beautiful tree you spotted, scuttlebutt, or any random questions/thoughts you may have. I’ll open this thread every Monday and Friday. Anything good happen this week?

i'm guessing they put in some good sound buffering windows? fl ave is LOUD. 
11:06pm
^yes. The only danger at this location is being run over by a motorist from Maryland.
11:05pm
Faison's writeups make me crazy. And not in a good "I'm crazy for buying this house!" way.
The Dancing Crab's commercials have to be the worst I've ever seen. The owners saying,...
God you people are boring. Why not more chatter about their footwears?
Rant: grocery store!
Rave: leaving work early!
Rave: I’ve never had a snow day in my life, but I get to leave work in 50 minutes due to the weather. Thanks Senate.
Rave: I have a 5th a Maker’s at home to see me through the weekend.
*of
Rave: I get to leave early.
Rant: I have to use PTO if I want to leave early.
Rave: Saints are in the Super Bowl!
Rave: Got out of work at 11 am. Woo!
Rave: My old friend’s baby (4 months old) is doing fantastically after his heart transplant on Monday.
Rant: I really don’t like shoveling. And I’m going to be doing A LOT of that this weekend.
Rave: Leaving in ten minutes. I would normally rant about having to use paid time off, but I came in early and I can do some work from home this weekend.
Rant: I only need some stuff to grill on Sunday and I know the grocery stores are going to be hell. If they’re packed, I’m just going home.
Lots of shoveling to do when the snow stops.
Rant: public urination–see guys peeing in the alley behind my girlfriend’s house in Petworth all the time. Once saw an older woman in church clothes popping a squat back there too. Finally, saw a guy peeing at the bottom of the escalators in the Navy Yard Metro station earlier this week. Are bathrooms that hard to come by in the District?
Revel: Snowed in with my girl and a case of wine. Now, just have to teach the dogs to use the toilet and all will be right with the world.
Rant: Thanks to this weekend’s snow, I’ll pass the third weekend in a row without seeing my boyfriend. He’s beginning to seem like a mirage.
Rave: Leaving work in 20 minutes and already have a well-stocked refrigerator.
@clearbluewater3: fantastic news for your friend and her baby!
Rave: I’m starting to become an iPhone junkie after I splurged and bought one for myself 2 weeks ago.
Rant: I miss Butterstick! I thought I’d have more time to see him this week. Reading the DCist post about his Fed Ex shipment brought a tear to my eye.
Rave: Really excited to snap some photos around DC tomorrow
Rant: Unfriendly and judgmental fellow RRRoR posters. A big thanks to the regulars that stuck up for me and provided some moral support last-week-ish.
Rave: Everyone in my dept called in, so I’m alone in the office.
Raver: I get to use my new Pick’em up truck in the snow!
What are you going to use it for? Getting stuck in a snowbank?
RAVE: Massive blizzard means the city shut downs, and I get to leave work early…
RANT: …if I still worked in an office, that is. On Monday I started a new job where I telecommute. Just my luck!
Rant: Target is sold out of sleds and snow tubes.
Rant: No rest for the wicked, office is fully staffed and I’m staying til 7 pm
Rave: Can’t wait to play in the snow, watch the Super Bowl and grill outside in 30 inches of white stuff!
Rant: Galactic at 9:30 moved from Saturday night to Monday
Rave: An hour shoveling the neighbors’ walks will make me feel virtuous enough to screw off the entire rest of the weekend. And snow is a perfect excuse to explore some of Ansonia’s less bargain-oriented wines.
Rant: – my company’s head office is in Chicago. Do ya think that they’ll allow us to go home early? LOL
Double Rant: @matt – it’s been years since *only* a fifth a Maker’s is enough to see me through the weekend
Rant: all this f**kin’ snow
Rave: I drove to Philly last night to avoid the snowstorm. I’m here because I get to SNOWBOARD tomorrow! Really hope we can make it to the mountain!
Rant: I’m at my boyfriend’s house, but he’s at work. His dad works from home and he kind of scares me, so I’ve relegated myself to his room to peruse PoP
(typical in the Russian community to have the kids live at home forever – yes it weirded me out at first, too)
Rant: I have to move boyfriend out of said parents house on Sunday. To an apartment 3 blocks away. Which doesn’t put him closer to DC!?!???
RAVE: SNOWPOCALYPSE!
http://snowpocalypsedc.com/
Rave: Snow!
Rant: Promised my neighbors I’d keep their sidewalk clean while they’re out of town. Damn their timing.
Rant: Weekend plans to get a ZipCar to go north to a lovely dinner at Great Sage in Clarksville, MD have been canceled.
Rave: Another drunk-in-the-snow pub crawl is mayhaps in the works.
Rant: Spent 25 minutes in line at the grocery store just to get kitty litter and toothpaste.
Side note: Matt, DeepDarkDiamond – I wanna party with you.
I have been laughing at this for the last 15 minutes: http://dogblog.dogster.com/2010/02/05/pootrap-making-your-dogs-most-mortifying-dreams-come-true/
It’s real and it’s… well, I don’t know, but considering how many people don’t pick up after their dogs, I guess maybe there’s a market for it?
My dog is curled up next to me sleeping right now. Little does she know I’m plotting her horrifying public humiliation as she sleeps soundly.
Rant – I need a husband! Just switched cable, tv & phone to Comcast triple play and have spent at least 3 hours re-programming remotes, (vcr still doesn’t connect) reading many many pages of instruction and trying to sort out email and have many hours to go.
Rave – no husband! I do love being single.
rant: safeway in mt vernon was insane
rave: two extra days to finish this paper
