librarian Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Ok. I know my threads are boring, but today I just have to throw this one in the pot so here it goes: Today, I was driving to work in the snow (dammitt!) and I went to make a right turn going about 2 miles an hour to get onto the hwy. and I lost control of my car and skidded down the ramp and the entire time, I just yelled, "OH SH*****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I took my feet off gas and break and just kept turning the wheel and amazingly AMAZINGLY I stopped about a hair - literally - from the rail of the ramp. A car that passed me after I stopped gave me the thumbs up, which to me meant - you didn't crash in to the rail. Whew! Backround music playing in car at the time (no lie): Red Barchetta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natch Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Luckily, I take a bus to NYC from central NJ. And, I left at 5:30 this morning, so the snow was a non-event for me, since I wasn't driving, and it seemed to get worse as it approached witching hour. But, I saw a few spinouts this morning....and a few spindrifts for that matter However, having grown up in the northeast, I know the feeling all too well. I've have several "Oh...Sh******t" moments...and even a few "Oh........F....U....D....G....E" moments. The "Oh FUDGE moments would be the ones where I actually hit the guardrail....tree....telephone pole, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necromancer Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Woke up around 4am to take a leak and it was dry outside. Woke up again at 7am to start the day and saw about FIVE inches on the ground. OH SHIT!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeddyRulz Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 I wore my slippers to work this morning, as I sometimes do. (Yes, I wear slippers out in public. They're comfortable as hell, and they look like regular suede shoes, not fluffly bunny feet.) After I arrived, it began snowing and snowing... and I thought "Oh shit! If this accumulates, I'll have to walk back to my car - three blocks - through snow, in my slippers!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Finished my workout (spin bike) and as is often my habit, took my feet out of the pedals and propped them on the handlebars while I finished watching the rest of the TV show I had on. Yeah, it's kind of a precarious position and my husband is always warning me that I am going to fall. . . The shorts I had on weren't exactly the "grippiest", and I was basically all sweat from head to toe. Yep, my butt slid off the seat and I ALMOST fell. I don't know how I managed to defeat physics. Won't be doing that anymore. If I had fallen there's a good chance I'd have struck my head on the metal rail of the rowing ergometer next to me.

Pags Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 As I was lunging for the bowl, I got out an 'oh shit' just before getting sick. Today is not a good day. Happy New Year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our team was given a last minute, insane deadline by our client, Freddie Mac. So, files have to be reconciled by end of day tomorrow. Well... this has to be done through the main server, which I cannot connect to remotely from home. Only two of us know how to do this. The other person is out of town until Monday. Great. Wonderful. Thank you so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alsgalpal Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 The alarm clock on my phone goes off, and when I look up and see Erics clock, it said 8. I thought I was going to be an hour late to work. "OHSH8T!" Dammit. I posted too fast. Edited to add that It's really 7 that I woke up at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonatine Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 1st day back at work today. This morning it was cold but clear, and no snow on the ground, and none forecast for area for at least a couple of days. Great, I thought, lets go to work on my new motorbike. So get to work no problem.... however, 4 hours and 3 inches of snow later, the boss tells us we can go home early due to the poor weather. With some hesitation, fire up the bike and make my way home albeit rather slowly. But fortunately the snow is fresh on the roads, and not frozen of compact. 35 minutes and 10 miles later I'm almost on the home straight when some dick in a Beemer tries to overtake a parked van on the opposite side of the road about 100meters ahead of me. I slow down, but this guy clearly doesn't know how to drive RWD cars in the snow, and as such his backend snaked out dragging the car into my side of the road. I can't hit the brakes too hard otherwise its game over for me, so just have to engine-brake and hope for the best, while at the same time watching this black Beemer sliding ever closer to me with the driver manically trying to master his steering wheel. Fortunately, he does so at the very death and manages to pull away from my path with only about 10 metres left to spare! Managed to continue my journey unscathed, but some BMW drivers will need to learn how to drive in the snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Had my recurring nightmare last night - Dreamed I found out I was pregnant. I was screaming mad and hysterical, and my husband was all excited. I yelled at him, "You want it, YOU give birth to it and raise it! I don't want a baby!" Woke up feeling my tummy. . .took a little while to get back to sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may not be ready to talk about it or act on it. This may also represent the birth of a new idea, direction, project or goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want a baby/children like I want a hole in the head. Come to think of it, I'd rather have a hole in the head; at least that can be fixed!
