Trying to relax after a crazy morning

[jcollie719]

Even though I have a wide variety of moods, I tend to describe my extreme moods as either "Crazy Collie" or "Chill Collie." This morning was one of the crazy ones. The snow wasn't cold/dry enough to turn to ice, so clearing off my car was much easier. Toward the end of Weekend Edition, the NPR signal began dropping, which happens when snow collects in the satellite dish. I went outside with a broom to sweep out the dish. As I came in, a few people called to let me know the "technical difficulties" message/music was playing over the NPR programming (because I'm the only one here and I hadn't gotten back to the studio yet!) While being alone in the studio is relaxing at times, there are other times like this where I wish at least one other person could be in the building.
