Waaaaah!!! I don't want to go drive to my other job now!

[prolesunited]

On a good day, it takes 20 minutes for me to get to my other job from this one. On a bad day, it can take forever.

Look at this weather forecast. It will probably take me longer to drive to and from work than I will actually be there.

SNOW WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE REGION LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE HEAVIEST PRECIPITATION WILL OCCUR FROM THIS EVENING TO AROUND MIDNIGHT. 2 TO 4 INCHES OF TOTAL SNOW ACCUMULATION IS EXPECTED EXPECTED BEFORE MIXING WITH... AND CHANGING TO SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN.

AFTER MIDNIGHT, ALL AREAS WILL SEE THE MAIN PRECIPITATION END, WITH A CHANCE OF FREEZING DRIZZLE THROUGH THE NIGHT.

A MIXTURE OF SNOW AND ICE WILL CAUSE ROADS AND WALKWAYS TO BECOME HAZARDOUS. TRAVEL WITH CAUTION....


:cry: :cry: :cry: Why do I live here again?

1. Well, you could live in Los Angeles..

where the weather is nice and fight the Q#&@%T*@$^%#$&!% 405 freeway EVERYDAY! Even on the weekends it's crazy.


I dont' know why I do that one!

but, you have my sympathies... be safe!

[Blue-Jay]

2. It's bad here as well.

Nasty bit of freezing rain outside. Dammit I hate freezing rain.

[prolesunited]

4. Yeah

but you don't have to go anywhere! :P

[Blue-Jay]

6. Yes I do.

Rehearsal tonight. Gawd....why am I in a band again?

Oh yeah! I remember!

[pmbryant]

3. Be safe, proles!

Freezing drizzle is about as bad as it gets, driving weather-wise, I think. :scared:

Can you call in sick? Take a personal day? :shrug:

You live there because Chicago is a fabulous city! :bounce:

You could move down here to Texas, but then the problem is... you'd be in Texas. ;-)

:hi:

EDIT: How many more emoticons can I use in one message? B-)

9. Really can't call in

Took off time when I went to San Diego and I'm taking another day off next weekend.

I'll be careful. Thanks for the good thoughts.

If I was going to move, it wouldn't be to Texas, because then I'd be in Texas. :-)

Well, I'm off on my journey! :hi:

5. Sorry to hear that,

It is supposed to miss us here on the north side of the city. The news is now saying we should only get a little bit of that up here.

Stay safe and warm!

[prolesunited]

12. Thanks!

You too! :hi:

[nostamj]

8. Good luck - be safe!

Nice and sunny today here in TX. *runs*

[prolesunited]

11. What happened to that

flippy finger emoticon!??!?!

Can't wait until it's 110 degrees there this summer. You'll get yours! :D

[GOPisEvil]

13. True! Very true.

Remind me of this day when I whine in August.

[pmbryant]

14. No ice on the roads when its 110 in August

We've got that advantage. :-)

[GOPisEvil]

15. Yes, but there are all those people out there frying eggs!

:P

[greatauntoftriplets]

17. Drive carefully.

It's now slowing up here on the Far North Side. I was fortunate to make it hom before the weather got bad.

[prolesunited]

18. I made it!

Took nearly an hour at 20 mph so I'm safe until the drive home.

[pmbryant]

19. Hooray!

That must have been miserable. Half-way there. :-)
