So my alarm goes off this morning and I turn on the radio and hear that there’s school delays because of snow. I look outside…and there’s nothing here. I mean that literally. The last few mornings, getting up, there’s been snow on the roof outside my window. But today there’s literally nothing.
But I checked my e-mail and had one of the flash alerts they send out when work is delayed too. Apparently there’s tons of snow up north. In fact, the radio just said there’s up to 18 inches in Monument (also: KKTV says there’s almost 2 feet in Black Forest) , and I’m thinking, How is this possible? I mean, there is literally nothing outside at my house at all. There is less there now than there was yesterday morning.
I do know how it’s possible, though. Today is the absolute worst possible day we could have to have a snow delay seeing as how we already have to do all the mail that comes in from the Thanksgiving holiday. (Side rant: I never understood the logic of adjusting our month-end schedule simply because of a holiday that EVERY FREAKING PERSON WITH A CALENDAR ALREADY KNOWS IS COMING. I mean, this is not a stealth holiday. Last business day of the month should mean last business day of the month, period. But not in our department, where they say, “What will make it worst for us?” so they make us include all the mail from the holiday too since we can’t actually cut-off the mail that would have come in on Friday, seeing as how no one was there to get it Friday. And to “compensate” with having to do an extra four days worth of mail, we get our deadline extended by a whole day!!!)
So Merry Christmas. Stupid Bush making it snow. Somewhere.
Update: Can I also point out how much I despise stupid WYSIWYG updates that disable your ability to hand-encode your own HTML, forcing you to actually load your phpMyAdmin and manually update your mySQL tables yourself? How “helpful” is it to give up your abilities? YET ANOTHER THING I SHOULDN’T HAVE TO DEAL WITH ON A MONDAY MORNING!
ARGH! Gimme coffee now!!!!!
