But enjoy your day off!

9. Hey, I'm at work right now. |
|
I slogged five blocks in the snow to make the train this morning, too, filling my shows with slush in the process. How much bullshit is that? x(

There's no policy against bare feet in this office, as long as they don't stink. :P

17. I took a vacation day today. |
|
Took me two hours to drive 12 miles last night, figured it'd be the same or more getting to work this morning. I live on a fairly busy street and it had not been touched at the time I needed to leave, and there were cars slipping and sliding all over the place. Went back to bed for a while.

20. I've never heard of so many schools being closed. |
|
Nor had my sister, who is a principal and closed hers.
Much to their chagrin, the triplets did have school today.
