Why I Hate Winter!

First of all, I will give you some back story.


...last winter I was driving down the highway at about midnight, on my way home from Alex's house, driving about 80km because the roads were pretty clear aside from a bit of snow on the edges and in the very center of the highway. About 3m away from my cutoff I spun completely out of control into a ditch about a foot away from going straight through a sign!! I was damn lucky that there was a guy following me who pulled over and let me use his cell phone. But ever since then, I've been really nervous about driving in the winter, especially under conditions like today, so I tend to drive like an old lady. :P

Anyways, I left about 10 minutes early today because it didn't look OVERLY bad out there, not too much snow on my car, not too much in our parking lot. Well, boy was I wrong. I left at about 8:20am and didn't even get to my parking spot until 8:55am!! So inevitably I was a few minutes late for work, but nobody really seemed to mind. :) So, on my way to work, had a few bumps in the road. First thing that happened was I had to try and go around a car that was having some trouble making it up the little hill and around the corner and Mill and Stirling. Then, to make matters worse, as I was passing said car, I started to get stuck too. Of course, the guy behind me is RIGHT up my ass, like 3-4 inches back...so I have to try and get myself unstuck without rolling back too far and smacking the guy's front end. Ok people, you need to give some space between cars, don't stick your nose up their ass! Unbelievable. To make matters even worse, my parking space is on a side street off of Queen St. across from the KPL. Well, it isn't plowed, and never is, because it's such a small street. And, the parking lot isn't either. So I have about a foot and a half of snow to try and drive through to get into my parking space. I of course get myself stuck, takes me 5 tries to get the hell in there. OK, so things can't get any worse right? Life will be easier on the way home, snow will be a bit melted, roads will be a little clearer and the parking lot will be plowed! HURRAH! Yah, the parking lot was plowed alright, and guess where the asshole plowed the snow...RIGHT UP THE REAR END OF MY CAR! That's right, he packed that snow up the back of my car. It was almost covering the entire bumper... There was snow jammed in my exhaust pipe, and I had to try and kick the snow out of the way because of course there is no shovel around. I had to stand in knee deep snow to brush off half of my car because that's where he also decided to pack a shitload of snow. On top of that, there is a long pickup truck parked beside me. He's parked straight, I'm on an angle with my backend towards him with about 4 inches of space between us. HOW am I supposed to back up without backing into him. HAH, I can't even back up anyways because I'm fucking stuck! I was pretty damn lucky the person who normally parks beside me was already gone, so that I could just squeeze to the right, barely missing the fence. ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I HATE WINTER, I HATE SNOW, I HATE THE COLD!!!!!!!!!!!
