It's Colder than A Witches...

...you know what.

I've holed myself up in my apartment for the weekend. Bought plenty of food, drinks and have a ton of reading material.

Worked called me to work two days overtime. I didn't even answer the phone. I'm on a four day weekend and don't feel like doing squat.

Only thing I had planned was to go to a movie. I went and saw Avatar 3D. Not bad. Not great but definitely worth the price of admission for the afternoon matinee.

I thought about killing an afternoon at the booby bar and seeing some naked women but I decided not to.

Figure with contract negotiations coming up this year I need to save my money. While I doubt the odds of a strike or lockout are small there still is the chance. I'm in a good spot financially if it comes to that. My lease is up at around the time the work stoppage could happen. I'll have enough to give my 60 notice when either the company or union give their notice of intent to lockout or strike. I'll just pack up my stuff and move in with my sister or mom until we get back to work. We have a strike fund so I can at least pay my truck note, insurance and gas. If we get locked out we get the strike fund and unemployment so I'll have my bases covered no matter what.

Well, I'm going to go get a few more vegetables to complete what I need for a beef soup. Then I'm curling up with a book while it cooks.
