You would have thought that there was an impending ice age from the way the news anchors were talking. Yes, we had some ice in Houston! Yes, most of us are not prepared to drive in icy conditions. Yes, the city doesn't have enough equipment to de-ice or sand the roads (this does only happen about 1 day every 3 years so no reason to be overly-prepared) However could we see SOMETHING else on the news? There has got to be something else happening in the world. Apparently when there is ice in Houston nothing else happens in the world!
Now I will admit that I worked from home today... I really don't have the vehicle that is well equipped for any ice at all and my driving skills in such weather is lacking as well. Mostly I didn't want to the other idiots to hit me with their stellar driving skills. As much as I would love to have the POS Miata totaled, it's not a good time for us to buy another vehicle so I am trying to keep it alive as long as possible.
It was nice working from home for a change. I've never really done it before. I always thought I would be distracted by the dog, TV, chores, or anything else other than work. What I discovered was I get more done at home. I forgot that daytime TV bores me and didn't realize that the dog pretty much sleeps all day. As for the chores, apparently work is preferable to that.
It was really nice sleeping a little later... getting up to run/walk on the treadmill for 45 minutes... and still get to start work around 7am. I was able to work long enough to make up for the two days in a row that we were sent home early! I gotta do this more often! Wonder if my manager will buy the argument? I'll keep you posted.
