I'm back home.
HUGE FREAKING SURPRISE.
Thank goodness I didn't even bother to shower this morning.
How ridiculous.
I got to work at 10:30AM.
Then I was sent back out on an errand, that's when it started freezing rain.
When I returned I made darn sure that my department knew of the freezing rain.
Then other departments were let go.
Some people were just leaving. Others got permission.
I kept the up to minute news weather information on my desktop.
It went from bad to worse in ten minutes. Then they started closing down freeways.
OK--that is a sign that you need to go home.
Not us.
Our department was the only one left. The only one!
Then there was an announcement that they closed the building.
You'll never believe what my Boss' answer was to that. Are you ready, here it comes:
"I'm not ready to go"
WHAT. THE?
They closed the offices down, the facilities/ cleaning crew was leaving! HELLO.
I work for a bunch of workaholics. They come into office on Sundays. Uh-huh.
Its all about the 'face time'.
Me and a co-worker rolled eyes at each other.
Was she kidding us?
NO.
She actually went to her higher up, also a workaholic, to discuss the building closure while we waited and watched the building crew fly out of there. They didn't need to be told twice.
Oh and then we have a half hour meeting to discuss our projects and where we are at before we can leave...oh it almost killed me.
I just knew I'd be right back here before Oprah comes on. Why did I bother going in? WHY?
But I'm safe, no slips on the road, and no fishtailing either.
I hope everyone in North Texas takes it safely :)

It's a crime, I say! A frickin' crime! REVOLT!
Glad you made it home okay. I got out early, went for some TexMex and promptly came home and napped for 2 hours. It was like heaven. Except I missed Oprah.
I guess I can't really complain. I worked half a day and the other half I spent out at shooting range (work-related activity), but let me tell you, that shooting ranging was SUPER FREAKIN FREEZIN'.
I got to leave early, but my car door was frozen shut and it took me a freaking hour to get home. FUN TIMES! Can't wait to get up and drive to work tomorrow!
I'm glad you got to see Oprah, at least.
this is going on in Texas?! Hello! You guys don't get snow and crappy weather!
Living in Ohio, I'm pretty used to it, but it doesn't make it any easier. I hate that kind of crap, that's why I thought about moving to Texas, but forget it now.
Glad you got home safely!
there was no Oprah :( BOO!
all the stations were on local storm watch coverage.
