Ugh, Connie. That's ridiculous that you are all at work in those conditions and clearly all sharing germs because not doing so would lose you a bonus.
Yeah, that.
You'll fight, and you'll shag, and you'll hate each other till it makes you quiver, but you'll never be friends.

Oh, yeah, that one I just endure.

Hubby said every fireperson he knew had an unhealthy love of fire.
That fits with all the fire fighters I know. And CJ is giddy that he can set fires in the fireplace now. We won't even talk about his fireworks obsession. Especially the ones he gets over the border from Wyoming.

Oh, praise be, sunlight hitting the ground! I can cope with 18 degrees if the sun is out.

Our actual temp is almost double the forecast and yet we are still in single digits. CJ just went out for more firewood. I'm not leaving the house unless I have to.

Thrive to spite them
It's supposed to snow here tomorrow night and early Saturday morning. I'm taking a wait and see approach to what will happen. Mostly because I have to leave the house at 3 am (in bad weather) to get to work at 4 am. I'm hoping for either no snow or enough snow at the right time that it will be easy to call out at work. What I really don't want is the snow to hold off until I'm headed back home and then can't get up the mountain and have to hang out in town and hope for the best.

Separately I have come to theorize that most, if not all, firemen (or aspiring firemen) are pyromaniacs.
I have found this to be true. Source: Best friend is a fireman. At least most of them channel their love of flames in constructive ways.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
They're predicting snow for DC ... AN INCH ... of course, panic is ensuing. One woman in my office refuses to come in when it snows; she's older and uses a scooter, so there's some rationale behind it.
And, in other news - some other possible snow-related panic.
