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.
Mal: I call you back? Wash: No, Mal. You didn't. Zoe: I take full responsibility, cap.

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.

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??

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).

I understand the value of goal-setting and giving/getting feedback, but I have never worked anywhere where my responsibilities, expectations, and goals were set clearly enough for my annual review to make any sense. Just about every self-appraisal I've ever written starts out with some variation on "the goals set at the beginning of the year are all irrelevant now so I'm making this up completely as I go along."

All 3 meetings cancelled, Y is staying closed for the day.
