Pulled in 20 directions.

Ha. Turns out it's not the main office in Georgia that wants us open today. It's my boss. She just uses them as an excuse

Boss: "Can you come in today?"
Me: "Tell the Georgia office that I-270 wasn't even cleared as of an hour ago. And they needed to rescue firefighters by sending in snow mobiles."
Boss: "But I saw on TV that 355 looked clear...." .

The snowplow has not been by. She wanted me to call her the second it did. I can't see the road from the house. I told her, carefully, "I'll call you tonight."

She wants me to come in tomorrow. She wanted a commitment from me on the spot to come in tomorrow. Riiiiight. Give her a commitment when I have no control over the weather, the plow, or even my ride? I told her it was possible but I wouldn't know until tomorrow.

Now mom's roommate is standing by with a shovel, anxiously suggesting that the best time to clear snow is now when it's sunny ... I've heard about shoveling from mom about four times in a row while typing this post.

My hair's wet. I need to eat. No, I'm not going outside yet.

So much for my plans to write today. I'll be out there with a shovel all bloody afternoon.

Dude. This woman at my new job actually demanded to know why I haven't hired a private snow removal company to come clear my street. When I more or less laughed at that one, she suggested I recruit neighbors to help me *shovel the snow off the road*. All so I can come in for orientation tomorrow morning.

*sigh*

Private. Snow. Removal. Company.

Is she-? What world is she from?

[meansgirl]

I don't know, I just don't know, but I'll tell you where I'm not, and that's orientation. Nope, couldn't go. Completely stuck still.

I feel a sick sense of satisfaction about it, actually. Private snow removal, indeed.

I have a feeling that your boss has lived a pampered life.

Um she knows people have died driving in that weather right?

[icarus]

I imagine so.

Hey, I wanted to wish you a happy birthday. How are you?

I'm doing okay. Just very sleepy right now. I think either Tiger or Grey started to meow at our door way too early this morning. I planned on hitting the academic library once it's opens at 12 to work on homework all day. (Or until I finish)

I had a good b-day this year. :) How are you doing????
