Tell me -- I could not get to my apartment yesterday evening any closer than the corner of Connecticut and Calvert -- fine, it's not that I mind walking, but it was late and cold and snowy and I FUCKING LIVE THERE. I can't take a taxi to my place, or get my own car in or out of my garage. This is f'ing nuts. And I know other people have it worse because they live in Nairobi or Colombia or whatever. Hey, I live in D.C. and pay a SHIT load of taxes.
Grumble grumble, if you can't tell. It's a crappy day, and while I have it off from work, I'm expected to attend several of those damn "viewing" parties at various law firm offices along the route to see and be seen. I could wretch; think I'm gonna have to have the 24-hour flu today.
