when I got home i turned on the TV right away and dolly parton had just started her christmas music special. it ran for an hour, and she told stories between songs. some of those she performed include 'coat of many colors' and 'i saw mama kissing santa claus'. the last one was 'have a holly jolly christmas' which made sense as the show was titled 'a holly dolly christmas'. it was followed by another music special, hosted by garth brooks and tricia yearwood. the couple did requests. i was pleased that one of the songs performed was 'shallow', from the 2018 version of the movie 'star is born'. another song performed was 'feliz navidad'. it was a nice way to transition from a long day at work, and a longer than typical drive home due to the snowstorm. hard to say if the can of summit beer also helped with taking the edge off. i am pleased that my car didn't get stuck at all, although on the way i saw some that were. as the saying goes, it doesn't matter how slow you are going as long as you do not stop'. at times it meant going just 20-25 mph, but i didn't mind. i will also recall it well due to seeing a UPS truck stuck in the parking lot when i was leaving at the end of the day. they didn't ask me to help them out, and i was busy clearing the snow off of my car and hoped i wouldn't get stuck either. i put it in reverse to get out of the lot, figured it increased the odds that i would make it. there was a technician that arrived just before midday to put in the maintenance kit on the check printer, and even then the machine was jamming a lot. not long after the tech left, it jammed and i couldn't clear it. so it meant printing the remaining checks on the alternate printer and calling for service. and i was behind on things so it meant those checks had to wait on being run through the envelope stuffer, nearly two thousand. as logn as they are done the next morning, then everything is fine. it was confusing to see emails from UPS about the hawk shop order. i ordered two items, figured it would be one tracking number but there are two. one is already at the retail location in my neighborhood and the other is one the way. if they are closing early on christmas eve then it means waiting until saturday to pick it up. not a big deal, i have a week to pick them up. and that it the same day i go to the post office to pick up orders there as well.
