  • snow day

    ...so my boss called me las' night to tell me not to come to work today, due to the magnitude of this storm we're expectin'. in 35+yrs, this is they're 1st snow day. he said there won't be anybody there to unlock, so don't try to "brave the storm". I was talkin' to my mom las' night, and she was told to not come in today either. she's been a travel agent @ AAA for 20 yrs and never seen a snow day till now. ...so, since the roads are too bad to drive to olathe for work, now I'm gonna go to O.P. and maybe Indep. and P-Hill to p/u parts. :shock:

    Off work as well, not sure what to do with the time yet. Maybe will swap plugs and tranny fluid on gf's XJ. After that I imagine I will be rather bored.

      The hospital declared a weather emergency, so anyone who isn't considered essential gets to stay home with pay. Essential staff have to come in and they have to stay at the hospital or a downtown hotel but the hospital pays for the room... Adult snow day!

        here in manhattan at KSU we rarely have a snow day. and never 2 in a row! i think the last snow day we had was 4 years ago for a foot of snow/3 inches of ice underneath.

          Last snow day I had was over 10 years ago when I worked for the State of MO. I don't really remember how much snow there was, but it wasn't nearly what we're supposed to get today. I knew then that I was way over-qualified and over-motivated to be a government employee. Now I work private sector, and even now there is no such thing as a snow day. They just tell us to use common sense because we're all professional adults.

              Yeah I work for the State of Kansas and got the phone call last night too, but I didn't answer because I figured they were wanting me to come plow snow....

              I'm just waiting for the deep stuff so it's even worth going out and firing up the Jeep to go play.

                  I know...kinda sucks growing up and being responsible! Trust me though, I haven't lost that spark! I'm still suseptible to bouts of cranial-rectal inversion from time to time! :lol: Now I just try to remind myself periodically that I have two kids and a wife at home who rely on me to feed/cloth/house them!

                    Well I'm at work and essential. Since I made it in, they're putting me up in the local Holiday Inn Express for the night so I don't have to make the round trip drive to be back at work tomorrow. They're buying dinner too!

                              Today is one of those days having a company car suuuucks!!! Instead of having my Jeep to play on the way home, I have a Taurus....LOL

                              :)

                              And Travis, my snow day consists of "activating the Emergency plan"...or as we put it, 12 hours of fun.
