We had precipitation here in the desert last night, and it was frozen and stuff. Predictably, city officials flapped their hands a bit and after ascertaining that this was not the apocalypse they put school on a 2-hour delay.
So I headed into work early. Hmm. I know we're on a two hour delay, but where is everyone? I came in and sat down at my desk this morning in my nice, warm classroom. I would take advantage of the two-hour delay to get caught up on paperwork. A bit later, a janitor popped his head in my room, "Jeez, you guys are dedicated!" and then popped back out. Later, I went to get some water--still nobody around--and one of the maintenance crew said, "You know there's no school today, right?"
Uh, No, I did not know that.
Now that the streets are rapidly melting I head down to CompUSA to find out if there's a warranty on my dead laptop. Turns out that, indeed, in a rare moment of lucidity I purchased some sort of monster warranty that expires in 2011. Swweeeeeet.
Then Pirate called. Hey! Got your spin kit?
I, uh, what? Yes. No. I mean, it's at home.
Go home and get it--there's a spin class at noon!
Darn. Me without my list of excuses.
I. Love. Snow days. Especially when the snow melts before 11 am.

Every highway/interstate within 100 miles was closed... but by god school was still in session!
ReplyDeleteA gift of a day!
ReplyDeleteSmitty, I know what you mean. I can hardly believe it myself. When my kids were little in South Dakota they would put on snow boots and slog their way to school with 2 feet of white stuff on the ground. It was only canceled if the tractors couldn't get through.
