In my first year as a homeowner, I'm happy to have barely used my snow shovel, between having a corner sidewalk, a driveway on an incline and a walkway, I'm really hoping for no snow
Keeps changing, now they are saying "5 or more inches of snow possible" for me. Nice. "possible"Here's my forecast:Snow or sunshine or heatwave or rain or sleet or toads falling from the sky possible.
God dammit everything is different. TWC says I'm right by the line for 1-3 and 3-6, that map shows me directly in the middle of the 4-8+I hate snow. Why the hell can't adults get snow days like we used to in school! Then I'd be all about it.
People who work for the Fed do.
Tell me about it, I'd rather not have to burn PTO for snow days. Unless that snow is Peruvian...
snow + full-time telecommuting = no fun.
I have a real love-hate relationship with telecommuting. It's nice to be able to keep caught up when I'm physically unable to go in to the office but frustrating in not being able to focus at home due to distractions (like NBA Jam). Maybe if I had a dedicated office at home I'd feel differently...
I've made the decision. I'm staying at my niece's place in Arlington tomorrow night. It's a long slog back and forth from Loudoun and I'm "essential" (whatever the hell that means). Might go to the Quarter Deck and put down a few pitchers ... or Crystal City somewhere. I'll leave my car at work in SW DC and play it by ear. I'm old but I love a good adventure. I'd prefer the South Pacific islands though (LOL).
