Teppy, that seriously sucks.

TCG is home today.

Speaking of facebook and family, can I post pictures to only part of my friends list? Because I ended up getting my mother in trouble with her cousin and now she doesn't want me to post my bridal shower pictures.

That sucks, Steph. Do they not understand the entire point of closing for weather?

That's pretty terrible, Steph. What asses.

Steph, that does indeed suck. Though, it could just be an oversight rather than intentional dissing. The last day we had a snow day at the school I work at, I e-mailed my boss to confirm it. She was like, "You didn't get a call on the phone tree?" I was all, "What phone tree?" And she was mortified. I had been left off said creation of the phone tree. Oops. So, I hope it is something like that rather than complete jerkiness.

My office never calls us for snow days. (We almost never get them, but still.) We have a number WE are supposed to call in case of emergencies, and that's it. Sometimes the receptionist will call the department heads and information will filter down.

No, I'm just being melodramatic (me? surely not!). I don't actually think they were deliberately being malicious. I'm sure it was just an oversight, but still a fucking dangerous one. Within the last hour, the county declared a Level 3 snow emergency, which means only police/emergency vehicles are allowed on the roads.

SO GLAD my office let me drive in that.

I'd happily do that, but the office policy always has been that there's a phone tree. So whoever forgot to call me is getting punched in the head tomorrow.

That's pretty terrible, Steph. What asses.

We already knew they were asses. They don't really have to keep proving it.

This is reminding me of something I'm still mad about, and it's been a good 15 years. We had an ice storm start during work hours, and by the time I started to leave, the 55 miles to my house seemed like a bad idea. A co-worker offered to let me stay at her house. My car was parked outside at her house, and when I got up bright and early to go to work, it was covered by a sheet of ice and I couldn't get the door open. I chipped at ice and swore and called in every half an hour for two hours before I got the door open. At that point, I decided to just go home while the streets were relatively clear. I passed my office on the way home. It turned out that they closed the office at 11 a.m., and anyone who had shown up at all, even for 15 minutes, was paid for the day and everyone else had to take vacation. So I had to take a vacation day, even though I had spent the whole damn morning trying to get to work.

Steph, sounds like you have some "political capital". Use it wisely. Guilt trips can be a powerful thing.

Sparky, please pet the sassenfrass for us and tell her peoples here say hi.

Full translation: "Hi, Sassy, stop barking!"

My U. announced a 10 a.m. opening, then changed it to 11 a.m. If you were listening to the radio announcements, you knew this, but if you were relying on the web page you did not because they didn't bother to change the announcement on the home page. I went to my appointment, so I didn't get here until 11 a.m. anyway.

When I was working at Rutgers, I remember taking 4 hours one day to get to work because the boss insisted we all had to come in, and then getting sent home 15 minutes after I got there.
