Digging Out of the Snow Hole Part Deux.

Well, I was successful in moving my car to a spot where snow has less occupancy.  I should be able to get to work tonight safely if I'm careful.  After using the shovel to move snow to a better place, I came to realize something important.

I made the right call yesterday.

Upon reading a status update from Warrensburg, Missouri's official Facebook page, I began debating whether I should call in or not.  After a couple of hours of deliberation and trying to go to sleep, I went ahead and did so.  More snow came later that night.

I wouldn't have had enough time to shovel the snow away so I could drive to work.  Hopefully the road crews will be able to clear some streets for safe travel.

Digging Out of the Snow Hole.

Well, today is going to be interesting.  I did call in yesterday, because I prefer to be safe as opposed to being sorry.  Recklessness in 2007 is what caused a broken limb, and I had no intention on having a repeat of that.

Today, the snow has stopped.  That means I'll have to shovel some snow away from the car after I get something to eat.  I figure I'll only need to move enough snow to move forward.  Hopefully, the car won't get stuck.

If I'm lucky, Business 50 will be cleared up enough to go down the hill.

If it isn't, I'll have to find another way to work (maybe take the other road to 13).  No matter what, I'll have to contend with some hills.  I missed one night of work, and if I can help it, that will be the only night this week.

The sun appears to be trying to shine through the clouds.  Let's hope enough of the snow begins to melt to allow traveling to work.

I might return for another post in a couple of hours depending on how I feel.  Wish me luck.

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.
