WHY THE HELL DID I COME INTO WORK TODAY??

first day of spring, and we have a winter weather advisory. it's snowing like a mother out there! we've got about 7-8 inches already and they're expecting AT LEAST 10, though the way it's going i'd bet they've changed their estimates. my little toyota camry was ok on the roads, but i believe i'll be stuck once i try to get out.

there i am, parked on the street b/c i couldn't even get into the parking lot!



look at it coming down!!


i'll probably go home in an hour or so.

I'm sure you'll make it. Just don't forget the chocolate chips in your chocolate chip cookies, lest you end up like cubic61052 (see cubic61052's entry in: http://www.prince.org/msg/100/181716 )

woot! made it home! (actually, been home almost an hour, but the damn org wasn't letting me post! mad )


i didn't have to shovel out when i left, i just rocked my car back and forth (for those unfamiliar with driving in snow, that means i kept switching from drive to reverse) and the guy from the other end of the building (who came in his 4x4) gave me a push and i made it!! woot!

almost got stuck twice (once just trying to get back into my driveway!), almost got plowed into by a pickup, and almost got plowed into by a semi. but we're home safe and sound, and i'm NOT leaving again today!
