Yay flea! New house!
I am trying to make an appointment with a handyman and he keeps asking if he can come over during the work day.
Dude, I WORK. And not from home! Sigh.
My work's illegal, but at least it's honest.

Well, it' 6:30am, we've had light instead of heavy snow - looks like 2-3 new inches - and I am not really sure what is falling from the sky right now. But work is open. #timetomakethedonuts

Well, market wasn't so bad, but hardly any vendors. Just got spinach. Now the scary part:target and giant and TJ's. Before a storm.

So, I trudged to the bus, took the bus, was at work on time, was joined by a coworker at 8:10 who'd been on the road since 6:20am, fielded 5 phone calls from other staff who were wither stuck in their driveways or on a slow bus, and then at 8:30 the security staff announced over intercom that the decision had been made to close the library.
I swore a lot and loudly. What a stupid, insulting decision.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
The thing we were supposed to go to back in January which was canceled due to the forecast and rescheduled for today? Got canceled due to the forecast. Ah, well...

What a stupid, insulting decision.
That's seriously bullshit. It's not like the snow was a surprise. And I get that the library is an important resource -- I use it all the time and sing its praises (not literally) -- and they don't want to close if they don't have to, but that was shitty, shitty planning.
We got about 5 inches here, by around 10 a.m., and I think there's more on the way. Now I'm REALLY glad we went to the grocery store last night.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I feel like there are only certain times anyone should make a closing decision: By 10pm the night before, by 6am the day of, noon, 3pm. If you're going to force people to go in, you have to make it worthwhile to be there.
Went to the UPS store and the library, in a record-breaking feet of two Saturday mornings in a row out of the house!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Yes, this!! Asking people to be in at 8 and then closing at 8:30??? Not only stupid and insulting, but now you've forced people into TWO really dangerous commutes in bad weather!

Yes. Our work often decides to send people home at the last minute, sending us out in the worst of the storm.
