The Sky's Letting it All Out

Work was hectic last night.  On the one hand, people panicked about the weather.  On the upside, it was good for business.  Sales have been up as of late.

Some impulse merchandise didn't get put away and the zoning didn't get finished, because we kept having customers on a consistent basis.  UCM canceled their classes, and public school is not in session.

Friends of mine who work at the same place in the Kansas City area were able to take a snow day.

Right now, I'm enjoying the fact that I'm home safe and sound.  I haven't had dinner yet, because I wanted to get this blog finished and fulfill my goal of posting more often.


The snow's been coming down at a steady pace and it doesn't look like it will finish anytime soon.  Though I didn't think it would be too bad, I'm currently weighing my options.

I broke one limb during the winter of 2007, an incident that I have no desire to repeat.

Anyway, I played some Team Fortress 2 for a while (mainly training) via Steam for Linux.  I also checked up on Facebook to see how everyone's doing.

One person mused that this storm has a name (Q).  Another warned people to stay in their houses if they're in Kansas City.  I suspect that this is winter's last gasp of sorts before we transition into spring.

Either way, the precipitation is needed so that the farmers have a better yield this year.

I better get something to eat and go to bed.  If I wake up and find a huge enough pile of snow and ice on the ground, I may call in.  I'm not going to break another limb.

One metal piece in my body is enough.
