Thanks, guys.
wake~ma to Beverly. Get to the doctor's safely!
I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

Mostly lurking...
I'm not going to go back to work today, as I had originally planned. I am a ball of stress and need a day to chill out a bit. And do laundry.

sj, can you go in to work and then just leave early, before the worst of it is predicted to hit?

I was going to suggest the less popular and appealing, but possibly more safe option of hanging out at the mall after your shift till the road crews get things under control.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I just called out. I told them I was having trouble walking to my car. The manager I spoke to was very threatening. She said I would have to speak to the head manager on my next scheduled shift and that I would also have to "sign documentation" I'll probably get a warning or get fired, but I decided that it wasn't worth risking my life for $30 today. Crying now.
I'm sorry to be all meme when others are dealing with much more difficult stuff.

No, they would never let me leave early.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
sj, hopefully the manager was just stressed out about the storm and people getting in, etc. Maybe things will be calmer when you go in next.

No, this is how they are all the time. A woman called out the other day because her kid had the flu and had been up all night with him. They were absolutely awful to her on the phone and told her her husband should stay home with the kid.

Oh. Well then they are evil.
I mean, when they give you shit about taking care of a sick kid....

Don't beat yourself up over it, sj. It's pretty clear from stuff you've said that these people suck royally. That is in no way your fault or responsibility.
Sure, it doesn't change that they've made you feel shitty, or that you might get fired, and getting some other, new job will be a pain in the ass, to say the least. It's still not your fault, and they're the ones that suck, not you.
