Bittersweet Ending

Well, I kind of got a snow day.

I woke up and saw that a ton of snow had fallen over the early morning! Hooray! Unfortunately, the government only had a two hour delay and unscheduled leave, but I tried very hard to see this as better than nothing. Since it was snowing, I slept in for an extra hour and then got up and ready to make the last bus of the morning. Went out early just in case and waited for a half hour. No bus.

Driving is out because they don't plow our street due to the cars parked on either side of the street (stupid neighbors). So, I was up and willing and ready to go, but had no means.

It's soooo much better when they announce the closure the night before. :-)

Don't they have Snow Emergency parking rules in your town? That way, snowplows don't have to worry about all the jackasses parking in the street. Did you end up going to work?

We live at the end of a small cul-de-sac so there's no through traffic and no parking rules. The street is always clogged with cars on both sides. It's a huge pain and the one thing I really hate about the neighborhood.

With no bus to ride, I had to stay home. I've been getting some work done through e-mail though.

OH NOES! My job on the taxpayer's dime is only going to pay me for 8 hours when I do 6 hours of work.

Someone better tell Obama of this travesty. He'll make it all right.
