HMOG - we've got a snow day, and it hasn't even started snowing! I wish I'd known this BEFORE I came into the office. Oh well, get some Xmas shopping done and head back before the white stuff starts flying.
We'll be in our bunk.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I just got a message saying my co-worker's kids' school district is closed for snow. He hasn't sat at this desk since I was on maternity leave. Oy.

I want a snow day!!! I am so tired, I can hardly stand it.
But it is my last day before a week off, so I should count my blessings (and the minutes).

My across-the-street neighbor who will shovel, then plow, then shovel again, is plowing after last night's big snow/ice/snow storm. At 7:30 a.m. Slowing down at times to holler at someone, I know not whom.
All this when I know he's either retired or works from home and could do this crap at 9 or 10.
Toolish, yes?

Yeah, the Boston area is shut down, and now the weather report says not much will be happening until mid-afternoon. I guess the Commute From Hell last year put the Fear of Snow back into the authorities.
Me, I have a Networking Group to go attend. Since I got the best lead of my life from one a year+ ago (that I could get Unemployment extended while I was in school!) I can hope that lightning will strike twice....

I fear if this turns out to be not much of a storm, that it will cause the authorities to underestimate the next one that comes along.

Somehow we are supposed to be missing this storm, but getting another on Sunday. I hope this is true, b/c I am supposed to fly home tomorrow.

It sort of cycles that way, doesn't it? And as they run out of snow day funds through the season, they get more cautious about when they declare a snow emergency, too.
But it strikes me that late Friday afternoon is the best time for an anticipated Snowpocalypse -- everyone is happy about leaving early, and they have all weekend to dig out the cars and sidewalks, get the power turned back on, not worry about the kids being without childcare, et cetera.

It's supposed to be 70 degrees here today. And it is incredibly humid and foggy. So weird - it feels like March. Not Christmassy.

I am at mac's school for a presentation and he is denying to other students that I am his mom, then smiling and giggling at me. Hilarious.
