Snow Days

It's turned into a crazy winter here in Clarkesville. Apparently it started snowing at exactly midnight on Sunday, and that lasted on and off through most of Monday afternoon. At least it was very pretty. Super powdery stuff, I almost wish I could have gone out to play in it, but the most I did outside was brush the snow off the top of the car. There's so much snow, in fact, that we are under a winter weather advisory. Just like 40 something other states right now. Hurrah! Snow!

I'm not sure if I meant those last two bits with sarcasm or not.

I had to use a vacation day to cover yesterday since I couldn't go into work and the service center was apparently still open (for half a day anyway). This morning is turning into a mess just trying to figure out if I should even attempt the journey or not. Black ice and frozen surfaces galore. I think I enjoy living and breathing at the moment, so I've called in and said I'm not even going to try it. The weird thing is, I had to call my team leader in another state to tell her since I can't get in contact with anyone in Toccoa. Huh. How could a huge company NOT have an emergency weather plan? 真的吗? *sighs*

So, it's another unexpected day off for me and I have no idea what I'm going to do. Right now I really wish I had bought Katamari Forever so I'd at least have another co-op game to play if Michelle comes over again. She came over yesterday morning and we watched a ton of movies until late into the night. It was a pretty good day given the circumstances.

Ruka was flipping out this morning. She may have thought I was going to try to drive to work. She's calmed down a lot since I called in and said I wasn't coming. Animals are weird.

Love Letters to start the day. Breakfast of champions.

I think I'll go find something to do now.
