When I lived in Arizona and biked the 5 miles across the desert in early afternoon to work, I'd plan to arrive 5-10min early, and have a wash with wet wash cloth and hand soap, followed by applying deodorant and powder, and changing into fresh clothes. As jeans and a t-shirt are my uniform, I can't say how much more work would go into making oneself presentable in office attire.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Still, I'd propose to the meeting organizer that, given the change in the commute for everyone either the meeting time be moved to later in the day or that the deadline for submitting meeting materials be the previous afternoon.
Totally.
This is the correct answer. Let it be known that late submissions mean you get up at 4:30am and guilt the fuck out of them.

Some of the managers I know would consider getting up at 4:30 the right and proper dedication to the job. Proves you're a team player and a go-getter. IE, someone who they can bleed dry.

Maria, oh, no. I hope it doesn't suck too badly. Dang.
Let me know if you need to call and vent, OK?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
The earlier Downton whitefont prompted me to watch tonight. Except I missed last week, so I had two episodes to catch up on and I've been drinking whiskey during both episodes. I did way too much backspacing to fix typos in this post, I don't even remember what I was going to say about the show.

My brother in law slipped on the ice the other day and will now have to have knee surgery. Nasty stuff, ice. I'd rather deal with six feet of snow.
