Well, I'm a douchebag.
I stayed home from work today because of THE BIG STORM EVENT, and there is barely anything going on outside!!! A little bit of freezing drizzle, but not much else. Christ, my kids school hasn't even cancelled! :grr:

Fortunately, my bosses are pretty understanding about this, but I hate to take a snow day and there is NO snow. Makes me feel like a big baby! If I would have just gone in for half a day, I wouldn't feel so stoopid.

I guess I'm lucky this is all I have to bitch about, huh?

3. well don't feel bad, Bunny
just have a nice day doin' some stuff, right?

There is pretty much no snow here, either, and there was a 2 hour delay. So much for the 4-6-10 or whatever inches of snow they were predicting. I did some work, dropped my kid off at school at 10:30, and treated myself to a little shopping therapy. Now I am going to laze around and maybe clean the house, it certainly needs it.

:hi:

5. Yeah, I should relax and enjoy it. My bosses don't get real
twitchy about this, thank God. But now the next time, when the roads really ARE bad, I'll feel compelled to go in. Sigh.

I'll have to check when the boys are going to be here - I need to see them in concert. Thanks for the tip!

:hi:

On edit - crap! They're going to be here on Wednesday. I probably won't be able to get there. Shit.

15. sorry
Don't you hate when the shows are on a weeknight? Sucks. There was a show I wanted to go to last weekend, and I didn't see it until 2 hours before. I hate that.

4. Near Pittsburgh, actually, but it's the same here too!
Can't buy milk, bread or toilet paper here for love nor money. MAJOR WINTER STORM EVENT!!!

I have a 30 mile one-way commute, and I was afraid that even if I made it to work, I wouldn't be able to make it home. Well, I could have gone in and put in a full day, for cryin' out loud. Sheesh.

Who is worse, the weather forecasters, or me for believing them? :shrug:

7. HAHAHA! The lactation of the cow!
Edited on Mon Feb-28-05 12:13 PM by Bunny
Good one! :toast:

Folks around DC really get goofy when there is a little snow, don't they? The government dismisses early, and everything.

Update here: not only is there NO snow, but the SUN is now shining! Ach du lieber!

16. Really? A douche bag? You're a vaginal cleanser? Tell me how that
works?

As opposed to be a dufus or a goofball?
