Well, more like ice-on-everything-ick! day, but you get the idea.
My supervisor told us *yesterday* that if we were one or two hours late getting into work this morning, that would be okay. He also let us go at 3 -- it didn't help me better the rush, but I did get home in time to grab some groceries before dark.
I decided to go into work at 8 this morning, instead of my usual 7, mainly because I wanted the sun up and people able to see me as I crossed the road.
This was possibly a wise decision, even though I waited 20 minutes for the loop bus instead of the usual 5. When I got to the transit center, the express bus did not come, and did not come, and did not come. Given that the express is supposed to come every 10 minutes from 8am to 9am, this was not a good sign. I finally gave up at 8:50 and got back onto the loop bus to go home.
I'd called my supervisor, and it turned out that he was the only one in the building anyway, and that he probably wasn't going to stay the full day. Considering that I have to catch another bus at the Metro station to get to work, I figured I spend almost all my work time today just trying to get there, and it wasn't worth the effort. Even with the probability that I'd be *paid* for the full eight hours -- cause my employers are nice about that sort of thing -- it just wasn't worth the hassle.
So I'm home today, taking it easy and kicking back. This had been a short, strange week so far. I wonder what the weekend will be like.
