home again, home again, jiggity jig
Jan. 24th, 2005 08:05 amI left here at around 7, planning to head to work. As usual Waltham is lax on plowing/sanding side roads and I slipped all the way to 128. While I listened to the radio I learned that:
-Side roads everywhere were a mess (I fear driving up an icy hospital hill to my office)
-All State Offices are closed (save for essential workers)
-The state police want all people to keep off highways (except for essential drivers)
Also:
-I have a buttload of unused vacation time
-I don't have any meetings today
-I don't have any work that has to get done today
So, I turned around at Winter Street and headed back home. My guess is that the co-workers that all live near work aren't going to kill themselves to get there, so I won't either.
Now, what to do? I have this cute cat curled up next to me, so I think my first item of business will be to snuggle! :)

Work closing
Date: 2005-01-24 07:31 am (UTC)Since I work for a hospital, our company is never closed. Since my department isn't crucial to patient operations, its kind of up to us if we close or not. Knowing other people that work there, I'm assuming not a lot made it in today (also, the tend to cut another woman living in NH and myself some slack, since everyone else working there is local but we aren't).
Of course, I feel guilty for being home, but if I don't need to be there, I'm not killing myself to get there :)
