I wish I had been able to go to work this week. I am desperate for money to take to China, but Lewis & Clark was closed all week except Monday, so I couldn’t work at all. However, since the whole college was closed, I just had to check the website to find out that I didn’t have to go to work – none of this calling my boss at home stuff.

Oh man… the last couple days in Bozeman it’s been wavering between -20 and -30 F. Sadly, nobody thinks that much of it: they only close down the schools when it’s -50, and only then if the governor declares a state emergency.

I am SO moving back to Portland.

Out here if they close down the state, and I get to drive to work on unplowed highways unless someone who won’t have to come into work anyway is willing to accept closing down the plant and losing a 20-30 million in profit for that week. You can guess how much that happens.

On the plus side, no one said boo to me in official reprimand when I just slept there between shifts in 2002/3 winter.

Didn't go

I finally found the home phone number for my BOSS. I’m afraid I woke him up wince but as you can guess, he said to stay home.

trapped?

I too am hiding in my little space, not even the thought of venturing out has crossed my mind. Yesterday at 9:30 i got a call from my boss, “If you cant make it over the hill dont worry, others will cover things at the store.”

Today i called her instead. The ice upon my porch steps fortells a harrowing journey, I darent even defrost my car. “Perhaps it is a good thing, i think Jeff might try to go down and put a sign on the door, but we arent opening.”

Who knows what tomorrow will bring. I am almost done with Tolkein’s tome. After that boredom will set in…

Lucky lucky girl...

Those of us who are cursed to have the “+5 software of telecommuting” have to work even when snowed in… for the second day in a row, no less! Of course, my insane boss and his even crazier boss are in the office today. I, on the other hand, am not nearly crazy enough to try and drive the twenty or so miles to the office. Luckily, the other programmer is stuck at home as well, so I don’t look lazy and cowardly in comparison.
