Aren’t my post titles always so unique and appealing? Hahaha, I’m so creative that sometimes I just astonish myself. At work today, everyone was going crazy with talk of snow. What the hell is wrong with people though? Every single time it snows, the forecast always ends up being exaggerated. I’m not going to believe it this time until I see it. Anyways, the following email goes out around 1pm ….
subject: let it snow
since we are having a snow advisory for this evening, we want to make sure you use your best judgment when deciding to come to work tomorrow. what does that mean? it means roads may be better/worse in some areas of the city and outlying communities. you may have to adjust your travel times (earlier or later) to coincide with salting/ploughing. if you cannot make it to work, please leave me a message.you should also check voice mail. if we would have to close the building, a message to that effect would be left for everyone.
if you have any questions, let me know.
As I’m reading this I am thinking, huh … work can be cancelled? That is crazy …. I worked there all of last winter since I started in August and work never got cancelled. Why didn’t I know this? It is like being in school all over again. I get to check my voicemail in the morning and find out if work is cancelled! But unfortunately I have absolutely no excuse to not show up at work unless I get snowed into my apartment (unless work is closed of course). I’ll leave a message that says “sorry, I can’t get my front door open, so I won’t be coming to work today.” That would be a funny excuse though.
I can’t wait for my Christmas vacation … today I sent appointment reminders to my co-workers so they could post a little reminder on their calendars that I’d be on vacation. I’m probably annoying, but I don’t care. Christmas, Christmas, Christmas is coming. And I had completely forgotten that I had a personal day to take before the end of the year. I’m not sure exactly what a personal day is, but I will just assume it is the same as vacation except I’m doing weird secret things. Because if you have a doctor’s appt, or your kid is sick, or someone dies … that is excused, and you don’t have to take a sick day, a personal day, or a vacation day … so what do you use a personal day for? Anways, I’m taking my personal day on Wednesday and my agenda for my personal day is already planned. It is going to begin on Tuesday evening when I will be watching the Pens game with Brian. And then on Wednesday we are going to eat food, go to the mall, and go see King Kong. It will be the best personal day in the history of the world probably.
I found my watch today that I had assumed was lost for at least the past six months now. It is my beautiful Anne Klein silver watch that falls off all the time due to a shitty clasp. Anyways, I found it in the bottom of my coffee mug / pen holder on my desk at work. I use two large colorful coffee mugs as my utensil holders on my desk. I feel that it gives flair to my coffee-natured personality. Besides, coffee mugs are much more exciting than like actual writing utensil holders. Those are just silly. And I secretly think I knew my watch was there all along, but I just wasn’t sure and I just never felt like checking. Yeah, its a pretty deep mug.
I just made a brand new pot of fresh tasty coffee and I plan on drinking at least one cup of it. I shouldn’t do the pm coffee thing, but I’m going to anyways. Bye!!
