Nu? It’s 15°F outside, it’s snowing like a…ahem…like crazy, the cat’s frantic because I won’t let her out into a blizzard, and I’ve gotten four e-mails already from various members of my project team, including the lead analyst, saying that they won’t be coming into the office today (my own e-mail, FWIW, went out an hour ago).
Deal with it, Satan.
It is often said that “anything is possible”. In fact, very few things are possible, and most of them have already happened.
So I clear off my driveway… drive to work… because the Fdereal Government is on unscheduled leave.
And I am at work ten minutes when they shut down the government. Sheesh.
Oh, well. Maybe I’ll get inspired to do something productive at home.
WHEEE!!!

no, some of us are cheerful poopie heads.
I’ll gladly trade states with you,Satan!
Reminds me of the Blizzard of Eighty-Three!
That one was forecast accurately well in advance, however; everybody got caught flat-footed by this storm.
About 7 or 8 inches in N VA so far.
yeah, & it reminds me of the 30" of snow we got in chicago that shut down the entire midwest for a week in '78. no thanks.
much love,

Rick - I couldn’t believe the dummies at OPM took until 7:30 to close things. By then I had 11 inches of snow, so I wasn’t going anywhere. But if I had, I would’ve been most of the way there by the time word went out. Go figure.
15-20 inches of snow.
In fucking North Carolina.
Unbelievable…
Yer pal,
Satan
Geez you guys, quit complaining and go out and make angels and snowmen and have a snowball fight. Enjoy!! Its not like its freezing cold out there. At least you are getting snow and pretty mild weather. Frolick and have fun!
We are, each of us angels with only one wing,and we can only fly by embracing one another
I may be grousing about OPM, Sue, but that was mostly commiserating with Rick.
I’m enjoying a pleasant, leisurely unscheduled day off. Can’t beat it with a stick.
RT,
As happy as I am to heap scorn upon the OPM, in this case I understand their dilemna. Last night, the news was saying 1-3 inches. This monring, 4-6. By 7:30 they were up to 6-8. So OPM was simply trying to keep up.
My company pretty much follows the Feds’ guidelines, since we work side-by-side with the civil service folks, on site.
By the way: got home, and I couldn’t get back up the driveway… so I parked on the driveway and came inside.
Three minutes later my neighbor knocks on my door to tell me my car’s slid back down into the street.
Sheesh.
So now the driveway is RESHOVELED. And the car is in the carport.
I have over seven inches of snow in the backyard. And it’s still coming.
Snow angels? Bite me.
at least when we had that very unlovely 30" in chicago we all got a chance to go out & get to know our neighbors. no one could go anywhere. you stuck around home & laughed @ the cars that tried to skid along the street. almost no looting of empty stores even.
lighten up, satan. go build a snowman with a tail & a pitchfork!
Yes! I’ll tell ya, if that statement wasn’t so feminine, I’d use it for my sig.
I gotta say, I feel for you Brian. Are you snowed in completely? Can you even get out of your house?
Adam
“Life is hard…but God is good”
shame on you, adam. how sexist.
Eat some snow guys, I was only funning with you. I know this can be a stressful situation. Been there many times.
Be careful Bricker, I just might.

Well I’m sure not complaining, I’m thrilled!!! I’m only sad that I’m sick so I can’t enjoy it more

just dress warm, opal, & go out for shorter periods so you don’t tire yourself too much. you know, of course, that the cold itself won’t make you sicker.
& lots of chicken soup afterward. & hot chocolate in between. in fact, lots of liquids altogether because you dehydrate quickly in cold weather.
much love,
