Oh the weather outside is frightful.....

Well, yesterday is a milestone for me. I now feel like a grandparent. I will explain that shortly. Here is my timeline for yesterday:

5:45am: Woke up to check condition of the snow (same time as every morning.) Saw that it was really coming down. Decided to wait to see if the plows would come and get me out

7:15am: After seeing a plow come by once and seeing that the road was covered again in 2 minutes, as well as noticing that the plow was building thick walls around our house, preventing me from digging us out, I decide to call out of work. Unfortunately, given the nature of my work, my boss was less than thrilled about that fact and told me that I had to come in. I understood, but my dad was less than thrilled.

7:25am: Having called the local taxi company and finding out that they are all closed due to the weather, and realizing that there was no other way to get to the train station, I decided to walk the two miles to the station.

8:35am: Finally arrive at the train station, and have to wait for the train.

8:55am: Train arrives. Had to wait on the platform for 20 minutes. Starting to not feel my toes.

9:55am: Train arrives at Penn Station, NYC. Decided to swallow my pride and take the subway to work from there.

10:15am: Arrive at work. Realize that at 9:20-ish, I got a voicemail on my cellphone from my boss telling me that I no longer had to come to work, because enough people had shown up. The only thing preventing me from pulling my hair out was realizing that at that point, I couldn't have turned around if I had wanted to.

Well, I got a lot of work accomplished yesterday, and they even put me up in a hotel. That was nice. Now, I have to spend the rest of today figuring out if I will be able to go home today or not. Hopefully, I will because I really missed my bed last night. Besides, I want to watch Buffy and Smallville from home, and be able to set up my VCR for the BIRDS OF PREY series finale that airs tomorrow night. Oooh, and stay tuned. After I watch the series finale, I will give my final review of the program, and anyone who has actually read this blog over time knows that I had a lot to say about it.......

Now, on to work.
