not working today
Well with the bad weather we’re having around here I didn’t go into work today. Between the roads that are complete trash and the fact that the driveway is covered in 2-3 foot snow drifts I couldn’t even if I wanted to!
I called in around 8am this morning and asked if the noonday sort was still running. The lady in motor control said they were which made me a bit upset because I hoped they would just shutdown for the day. She said lots of people were calling off and the truck traffic was low so even if I did show up there probably wouldn’t be much package volume today.
I sat around for about 30 minutes deciding if it was worth the effort to try to dig myself out and head in. I ended up say screw it and so I called the main office and said there’s no way I’m coming in today. Actually, they have an automated voicemail system that you just leave a message but whatever.
So here I sit waiting for the diesel lawn tractor heater to warm up so I can get out and plow the driveway. I hope the roads improve today. I was planning on going to the movies with the girlfriend tonight. We’ll just see I guess.
