Adults Are Just Big Kids

I woke up this morning to over a foot of snow. Over a foot of snow that had fallen in less than five hours. It was snowing and blowing, and both my bosses happen to live out in the country. I live in town, a scant seven or eight blocks from where I work, but I wasn't sure I could get out of the house. So, I called the less scary boss, and, come to find out, her husband was digging her out. She was going to give it a try and call me when she got into the office.

About five minutes later, I had a call back from her. She'd gotten herself stuck on the road right outside her house. She wouldn't be heading into work until later, if at all. *grins broadly* So! I had a snow day. Of course, a good portion of my afternoon was sucked up by an attempt to dig out one of the cars (which didn't really work because none of us believe that we could get said car out of the alley to the cleared off street), but hey! It was still a free day.

If it wasn't such a pain in the butt, I would say it should snow like this more often.

*sigh* I'm so envious. i want a snow day too! We just got a deluge of rain and the temperature dropped to make it really cold and miserable. Too bad that isn't enough reason to close the store. I wish it was.
