Shit, Man

The longest commute I have ever had going into the Best Buy office this morning. We had a very unique type of freezing rain that only comes around once every few years-it instantly freezes & becomes ice upon hitting your window. I had parked in the garage, so my car was totally clear when I pulled out. By the time I got out of the alley and around the corner, there was a thick layer of ice over my window over which my windshield wiper was bumping. I made it three blocks down the street, barely able to make out the intersections and praying there were no pedestrians out and about, and pulled up to the coffee shop. I stayed there till 8:45, studying for my final tomorrow night, with the idea I'd wait for the ice storm to pass and for rush traffic to subside a bit. The weather let up, but my drive was so slow and so slippery, I didn't get to work until 10:30. Shit, man.

Craptastic.

I've been through that a couple times. Just want to turn around and go home.

We just had a little snow lastnight. It did not add up to much, and it will probably be gone before Christmas.

Yeah, we got a little last night, but all it took was that one nightmare morning for everyone to get their act together. People were driving like old pros this morning, which is funny, cause if we had not had the situation the day before, it would have been madness.
