Ice, ice, ice

Just came in from trying (unsuccessfully, I might add) to get the ice off of the top steps on my front porch. Although we faithfully shoveled the snow off of our steps and sidewalks, we still got about 2 inches of ice on our porch steps. Since the temperature is a little warmer today, I decided to try and get rid of the ice. I tried salt, a shovel etc. Only a little came off. It is just too frozen up to do anything with. Hopefully, the extra salt I put on top will help some. Maybe tomorrow and this weekend, it will improve.

There is also ice buildup on my driveway, which will probably just melt once it turns warmer. I think I'll just leave it since I can drive o.k. on it. My driveway is only ten feet long at the very most. The ice isn't actually that thick. Most of what is there is only unmelted snow.

I hope for warmer temps as spring gets closer.

Now, it's off to get ready for work. I hope this night passes quickly. If not, it's another boring night at work. However, I also hope we aren't horrendously busy. I will be by myself again tonight, so if it's busy, there won't be anyone to help me with cranky customers who are just too busy to wait. Hey--if you're that impatient, please, do us both a favor and go to a different store. Same goes if you feel like trashing my department or shopping at 9:55 p.m. Seriously. There is simply no excuse for idiots who take things out of packages and then--hmm--can't put them back in, so let's just wad them up and throw them on the floor. Better yet, let's tear open all the packages. That way, the company can lose money on all the stuff you tore up because, face it, someone must have returned it. The package is all torn up! There MUST be something wrong with it--it's all torn up!

There--I'm done venting for today. Later.
