I don’t think this is what “no accumulation” looks like

Yeah, we’ve got 3-4 inches of No Accumulation and it’s still coming down. This is the first real snow we’ve had this winter (as opposed to all those fakey poser ones.. actually, it’s been suspiciously temperate until now) so I shouldn’t whine, but of course I am going to whine and complain and bitch because, wwwaaaahhhh!!! I hate cold weather!!! I hate winter!!! I want it to be July year round and it’s July here for about ten minutes!!!

Amusingly, I notice that my last OD entries before it died its temporary death were about snow and cold weather and how much I hate them.

I especially should not whine today because I had already decided to stay home from work and have a little mental health day. We’ve been very very busy, and I am finally caught up to the point that a day off will do me more good than harm. And it’s finals week so we won’t have too many students calling or coming by our office. So Mr. Organized and Miss Tattoo won’t have to suffer because I’m a delicate flower who needs a day off. Hopefully after the Christmas break we will have a replacement for Aggravation Receptionist, but a much improved one because they will also be the Dean’s assistant and they will be sitting way far away from my office (as opposed to right in front of my door in a gargantuan desk I practically have to climb over to get in and out) and the office pathways will be re-routed so all visitors will come into a door way far away from us and they will answer the calls as well, AND we may even get a grad student to cover lunches. We may never have to answer the phones again!!! Or at least it will be a rare and not so crazy-making event.

Ha, just found out campus is closing, and finals are now cancelled for the rest of the day, so yay – really don’t have to feel guilty now.  This is quite an odd snow in that we don’t usually get significant amounts that are a total surprise. Yesterday the forecast was saying a little snow and possible ice late in the day Friday, but no accumulation. Instead the ground was covered at 7 and it’s still pouring down. So there were a lot of wrecks this morning apparently, as the salt trucks didn’t make their rounds last night. Baker B is still on campus and coming home shortly, so I hope he’ll be okay, but he is driving our 19 year old Civic which has snow tires and has never failed us.

Let’s try pictures — I wonder if I can make them larger than last entry??

Apparently not —- has anyone had success with larger pictures? I don’t see any choices for changing size.
