The weather has been very much in the news the last few days. Icy road conditions are my greatest fear since I have a 1 hour commute each way every day. It has been very icy since Monday afternoon.
I came to work on Monday morning prepared to spend the night since ice was moving in and I didn't want to deal with it the next morning when I had to be here at 8 A.M. to teach a class. They shut down the campus at 3 P.M. and canceled classes for the next day (Tuesday)...and I was stuck here.
Fortunately, I have a big office and a comfortable(?) couch, access to food, kitchen and rest room. Conditions didn't improve enough so they canceled classes for Wednesday as well. I'm still here. However, I do have cable TV, Internet and the whole building to myself. Not bad...and don't forget the comfortable(?) couch!
Well, it's Wednesday afternoon and the sun is shining and some of the roads are melting even though the temp is still in the 20's. I know I could stay with my son a few miles away but icy streets are worse than icey roads. I'm safe from crazy drivers here in my office. I could go home but the roads are going to freeze again when the sun goes down and it is dark at 5:30 in the morning when I leave for work...so I'm staying here again on that comfortable(?) couch.
Mark my words, though! after class tomorrow and as soon as the roads have melted again I AM GOING HOME! I intend to work from home on Friday.
Ice does not belong on roads...only in Tea!
