      UPDATE TO MY RANT FROM MONDAY

      Day 2 of the Snowpocalypse (yesterday):

      Sent home from work at 2pm… All non-essential operations are shut down until further notice...

      Day 3 of the Snowpocalypse:

      No work.

      Meanwhile, I can still see trees blooming from my living room window.

                          Yes.  It is extremely embarrassing…..

                            A few weeks ago I had to drive my daughter to the in-laws, so she can attend the children’s carnival there, together with her brother.

                            I drove there to drop them off, drove back home and returned a few hours later to pick the kids up when it looked like this all the time. No biggie.

                            So seeing the drama in the UK just leaves me shaking my head in irritation. One would think that a nation that is famous for its sub optimal weather is not so easily set in panic by a few snowflakes. 🙂

                                      -My supervisor contacted me to let me know that I should be charging vacation hours for these forced days off… Drafting an email to corporate now.

                                            To be fair, i'm far more sympathetic to places that don't regularly see this kind of weather as they're not equipped to handle it. When I was in college I did a 'study abroad' program in northern Japan on the Sea of Japan side. We got pounded by so much snow that it was waist high in some areas. My mom lives on the Pacific side of northern Japan and they don't get as much snow, although it does get frigid. Here in Minnesota we just got over a foot of snow in 48 hrs. Parking sucked but the snow plows were out in full force and now everything is fine.
