Continuation of the Seattle Snowpocalypse Saga:
I walked to work today because I didn't want to risk skidding out. It took me 45 minutes. And man, am I out of shape. I stopped being cold (except for the tip of my nose) about 5 minutes in. I was actually damp from sweat when I got to work. Now I am determined to get a bike and use it once the snow is gone.
The office closed at 2 this afternoon because all the support people (myself included) wanted to leave with plenty of daylight left to get them home. Unfortunately for me, I have an interview tomorrow that had to be finished. I ended up with overtime, while everyone else has to use vacation time to cover their extra hours. If the interview team gets snowed in and can't make the interview, I shall be very displeased.
Once the announcement was made that our office was closing early, we proceeded to be razzed by all of the other offices for being wimps. Apparently someone from the other side of the mountains made a 4 hour trip at 6:15 in the morning in 15 degree weather. And then the photoshopping started. So not only were we not working because we were talking about people abandoning their cars on the freeway, driving the wrong way down the freeway, spinning out in front of us, etc., we had to abandon even the pretense of working and respond to vicious attacks via email.
I think I'm the only person in the company who managed to get anything done today. And how much you wanna bet tomorrow will be more of the same. Except I think I'm going to brave the car tomorrow.
