I am guessing that sarameg doesn't want to drive home during a snowpocalypse.
This isn't a snowpocalypse. This is an icepocalypse! But yes, I'd prefer to not be stuck driving in either. I've got some hills to navigate.

I didn't like the bread on my sandwich. Enough that I think I'll get a new loaf and chuck the old one. Except, icepocalypse. Hrm.

Now tagless for your comfort.
DH's employer just released everyone to go home for the day. I'm wondering just how bad his commute home from the training center will be.

Ailleann, aren't you up Northwest, where it's actually worse? You should get to go home. Seriously.
I'm on the south side, by 23/270. I live a sneeze's worth north of 670, so not too far away from here. It's about a 12 mile commute, so I don't think getting home will be prohibitively difficult.

I'm just wondering if my library book that's due today would be overdue if I returned it tomorrow, since the libraries are closed.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The "how you are" thing cracks me up. I totally got the Jordan Catalano love, or, well, lust. Shame Jared Leto's such a waste of space.
We used to tell our students that a given task was easy; that they could do it. But then they'd get frustrated and angry when it wasn't easy for them, so we realized we needed to switch. Now we tell them that it is a difficult task, but they can do it anyway.
I was told this as a difference between male and female students. Men were supposed to react well to being told a task they hadn't mastered was easy, and women better to being told it was hard.
So far I've tried to pay attention to that, and have noticed in other people's classes women getting quite angry and frustrated when told that what they can't do is easy.
Generally splitting feedback along those gender lines has worked out well for me so far.

nothing makes me angrier. I mean if I'm having a hard time with it is obviously not easy for ME!

Oooh, they're closing the office. I have to do my conference call, but after that I'm going. Whee!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Where are these office-closing storms happening? Ohio?
