My 3rd Consecutive Day Working at Home… |
Well Wednesday I worked from home because that’s my normal day to be home. And then I had band practice, which thankfully ended on time with no meetings or anything afterward, so I was home at a reasonable time.
Thursday morning we woke to snow. Not much, and it wasn’t sticking, but they said it was going to be much worse by the afternoon. So I decided not to risk getting stuck at work, and stayed home. Also, we switched to a different e-mail system so everyone’s all confused by e-mail now. (Which is great, when most people aren’t in the office that day.) I totally should have gone to work, though, because it never got bad all day, the roads were just wet.
Late Thursday night, the snow finally started to stick. I went out at one point and sprinkled some ice melt on the driveway and sidewalk. (Side note: GG picked up a couple bags of ice melt for us because we ran out of salt after the Snowpocalypse. This new stuff is called “Blizzard Wizard!”) By the time I went to bed, you couldn’t even tell I’d done anything – not because the snow had piled up, rendering ice melt useless, but because the wind had picked up to the point that snow had blown over everything.
This morning, Friday, I really wanted to get to the office. When I woke up, the snow was really swirling. I called our weather hotline, and they said that due to weather conditions and road closures, my office would not be opening until 10 AM. (Another first! I’ve never had a delayed opening here!) Around 9:00, it started looking even worse! So, I gave up. I’m staying home again. I can actually do most of the things I need to do from here, albeit slowly. I don’t have any pictures of the current weather conditions, but imagine being inside a snow globe that was just shaken. So, I will enjoy yet another day at home, maybe going out eventually to shovel things off if the snow stops blowing around…
