mamajoanGrump. It couldn't have waited one more day?
Ah well. I got up this morning, checked out the windows and watched the Weather Channel for a bit, and decided to come to the office, despite the fact that about 75% of my coworkers had already emailed in saying they were staying home. I based my decision on the facts that a) the forecasters were saying the worst of the snow would be between 11am and 1pm, so there should be enough time for plows to clear the roads before the evening rush hour, and b) I really didn't want to sit around the house all day trying to entertain Isaac. Plus the more minor consideration of c) we had left Isaac's boots at daycare so if we had stayed home, it would have been hard to go outside and play in the snow and d) if I take him to daycare, someone else gets the joy of cleaning up/drying off after he plays in the snow. ;) I'm just glad that my daycare doesn't follow the local school system in terms of closures, because the schools are closed today.
Anyway, the commute in wasn't too bad, and all my coworkers who opted to stay home have been mercilessly mocked. ;) And the CEO bought pizza for those of us who did show up, so we wouldn't have to go out in the snow for lunch. Yay for free pizza.
Got back to my desk after lunch to find a voicemail from daycare saying they want to close at 4 and I should call back and let them know if that's possible for me. I tried calling back several times and got voicemail, which presumably means they're still calling other parents. I'll keep trying. Leaving at 4 would be fine by me.
