Current mood:  sore
So I didn't get overtime again. We did get cleared to work our 6th day from here out, so that's a plus. I'll get at least 8 hours a week, which is better than nothing. Yesterday was awesome. I made it up to Big Bear resort to go snowboarding. That place is AWESOME!! It's the first snowboard friendly ski resort I've been to. They had a half pipe, a super pipe, a bunch of jumps and random stuff to tear up like a van buried in the snow, rails to slide on, woop-de-doos, and a cool mini slolom. And that was just on 1 run. they have 9 lifts and about 15 different runs! My lift ticket never got peeled off the backing so I can bring it back and exchange it for a new one since technically it was never used. That's pretty sweet. I took a bunch of pictures, but didn't get any snowboarding because I didn't want my camera getting wet from the snow. I took the lift that went all the way to the top of the mountain, and they had little signs along the way about different things. One of them explained the Santa Anna winds, or Santa Clarita, or Santa Clause or something... (I don't remember I was freezing my butt off on the lift) I found out about the wind on my own. The peak is at about 8800 ft, and it scrapes the jet stream... 50-60mph winds almost constantly, and it was FREEZING... next time I'm wearing gloves, and not jeans. I had to stop and stick my hands under my armpits, Mary Catherine Gallagher style, to keep my fingers from freezing off. The view was awesome! It took me a few turns to get used to riding a snowboard again, but by the time I got to the bottom I was doing alright. Hopefully I won't need too many refreshers to get back into it if I make it back up there. Well kids, I'm gonna get going. It's almost happy hour and we get free drink coupons from the hotel... I weaseled a few extras so I can have a free glass of wine with dinner. Don't hate.
