I thought you hardy midwesterners scoffed at the snow and made fun of those of us in milder climates. And here you are playing hooky. Hmmmm... ;)

It's just an excuse to play hooky we're still hardy folks;) It started snowing here about an hour ago and I'm working on getting the boss to let me out because I have a 35 minute drive and I have to deal with people who should get their keys taken away when it snows.:|

I plan on:

1. getting a call at 5am
2. boogying furiously in my bed in pj's with bedhead for full minute
3. sleeping in for 4-5 more hours
4. going out to breakfast where it should be very quiet
5. coming back home and taking a nap

:D Yay!!

I work for a construction company. The boys can't work when it's snowing so hard. If the boys aren't working, no need to have me in the office either!! :)

Ah, then, that does make sense. I'm just hoping I can get out of Boston and down to NY tomorrow night. At least if I'm snowbound I want to be with my friends for the weekend.:)

It finally hit the north suburbs. I'm skipping school tonight. Gurnee to Schaumburg usually takes me 50-60 minutes, it'll probably be 2 hours each way tonight. Fuck it.



Went in late with the mindset to work late and avoid the snow and traffic. Walked in about lunch time today very well rested :)

hmmm. I live in Maryland & work at a lab in Fort Detrrick. Maryland is kind of a "snow-weenie" state. We're supposed to get 3- 6 inches. meaning they might have a delayed opening tomorrow (2 hrs late).

too bad. I had planned a whole full day of working with radioactive mutant AIDS virus.

Let's see...Shoveled 2.5 feet off the deck last friday when I got home. Shoveled an additional 2.5 feet off the deck on Sunday afternoon.
I'm in Houston this week and was laughing my ass off when the weather guy was along side the highway doing his broadcast in a heavier parka than I wear on a really negative temp day.
Guess it's all perception. ;)

HOLY SHIT! They closed the base (Fort Detrick) to all non-emergency personnel.:o

I can't believe it. We only got about 3 to 4 inches of snow (though we might geta little more by noon) Shit, the most I expected was maybe a 1 or 2 hour delay. I didn't expect to get the whole day off.

what a bunch of snow-weenies.
