Thanks for all the elbow pity. I suppose I could have lied and said I had a huge bruise, but you were obliging enough to make that unnecessary.
I think the storm has only just started here, which means it wil be ending later than they originally thought. That will hamper clean-up as well.
I'm considering whether I should go to work on Monday -- I only have two days left on my contract and I NEED to meet with the scientist I'm consulting with before I can go on. I'm not sure where he lives, so I don't know if he'll be able to get in. Of course, if they don't have the buses running tomorrow I won't be able to get there. Not that I've heard that the buses won't be running, but I'm a bit dubious since they won't be trying buses at all until tomorrow.
I think I'll be headed out a bit later. I'm getting a little stir-crazy and I haven't been further than a block away from my house since Wednesday.
So far, not much of a storm...
Heh. Sue's making with the big fate-tempting talk.
Right now, a storm would only work to my advantage. I'd love yet another day off from work, and I have at least three hours of my evening being swallowed up by co-op interviews that I totally forgot about, and which I wouldn't mind being cancelled.
I recall just yesterday someone daring the Weather Gods to dump on us again...
Well, there's no bus service tomorrow, so I won't be going to work. I've only got two days left in my contract and I have all next week to do 'em, so it doesn't really seem worth getting a cab or walking for an hour and a half each way.
Aw, it's back to work for us...
You sure Sue? Did they officially announce?
From the provincial website:
Provincial and federal government offices will be pen on Monday, Feb. 23, across the province.
All employees are to return to work as normal. Employees in the Halifax Regional Municipality are requested to car pool and use Metro Transit wherever possible to reduce the number of vehicles on the road.
The city is suggesting staggered arrivals, with essential workers arriving at the usual time and all others coming for 10:00.
I actually might head in to work if I was sure that the person I need to meet with would be there.
I've been at work since 7:15. Yuck.
