It's snowing like whoa here, but the ground's too warm for it to stick. So I walked from my parking lot to my office through big, fluffy flakes with a goofy grin on my face. I really do love snow.
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

The forecast last night was calling for 18" so schools are canceled, but it literally *just* started coming down here and it's barely even flurries. For this my kids are losing a day of spring break??? An early dismissal would have made so much more sense. But the trains are on a snow day schedule too, so we're all at home. I expect my kids will break some kind of screentime record.

Timelies all!
Snow day here. Everyone has the day off. Whee.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, I understand the pressures to give parents time to plan, but our schools are closing early today, and now they are saying it won't even start snowing until 5 or 6 tonight, and maybe we're only getting 4 inches total.

The cancellation call came at 5am. So not even that!
My plan if they get really stir-crazy is to drop them off at the superintendent's house for the afternoon. I'm sure someone on the local mom's FB group knows where he lives.

Coding and Sleeping
I hate self-evaluations, I hate goals and goal-setting, I hate corporate reviews, I despise the whole goddam made-up arbitrary pointless process so much.
Yeah, I'm not a fan either. It's like, I want to contribute and make the product better and cooler, we're on the same page here. Isn't that enough?

No snow here yet.

Nooooooo. A meeting that has taken like 6 weeks to schedule just got cancelled because of the weather. It's tomorrow afternoon! Couldn't we have waited to see what it looks like tomorrow??

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Well, I live close to the office, just off a major bus route, so I hauled myself into the office to take care of my weekly e-newsletter (which has become the bane of my existence), but I'm not staying long. The snow is coming down heavily, it's sticking, and it's slick. Luckily, I brought the grippers to go on my boots, so I can walk safely (except on the surfaces that have been cleared, of course).
