5:30 a.m. Looked out the window, snow just starting to come down. Go back to bed.
6:30 a.m. Wake up again. Check to see if it as a snow day for the kids. Yes. Wake up Larry and tell him. Get dressed for work.
7:07 a.m. Leave for work. Roads are snowy which is better than icy.
7:50 a.m. Arrive at work. Only took me 10 extra minutes. Went about 25-30 MPH most of the way.
7:52a.m. Run into the office.
8:00 a.m. Arrive in building huffing and puffing because I have not ran in years. Shake 6 pounds of snow off. Wonder why I bothered to brush my hair.
8:15 a.m. Make coffee and relax. Answer the phone 4 times. 4 employees tell me they are working from home today. Wish I could get my calls transfered.
8:55 a.m. Take head count of number of employees at work so far. 3.
9:07 a.m. 2 more employees arrive. One of them looking like she just came through a blizzard. Time to get my second cup of coffee.
9:18 a.m. An employee that live about 3 miles away just called in. He said the plows had not come there yet. Yeah, they weren’t in my town either and I live 12 miles away.
9:45 a.m. Call Larry to see if the girls are awake. They were up by 7:15. No coaxing them out of bed this morning. They were begging to go outside by 8:00.
11:00 a.m. Just got my third cup of coffee. I usually only drink two, but since today is a snow day I’ll make an exception. There is still fudge is the kitchen from yesterday’s party. That should make a good lunch. There are now about 11 employees here. The sky is white out my window.
12:15 p.m. There are 18 employees here now, but who’s counting. I am having fun shopping online and reading blogs. Too bad they blocked us out of facebook.
12:55 Just ordered lunch from Jimmy John’s. A Snow Day bonus.
2:20 Packing it in for the day. Most employees have left except for the hourly peeps. Now for the drive home!

Sounds like you’ve got that tiny violin out.
