hell on earth
today almost couldn't be worse (okay, okay, i know it could be, but...). first, i woke up at a quarter to 3 and never got back to sleep. during the first 45 minutes that i tried to nurse myself back to slumber i noticed the snow falling. i was surprised how slushy it still was on some of my main roads in to work even at 7:30, and i felt my car slide just a tad on the road next to Kenmore Air. our parking lot was icy and i had someone on my tail most of the crawl up the hill. then the test i have to type up -- the only real reason i felt compelled not to call in sick today -- arrived on my desk. then my boss decided to go home sick. and now my only remaining coworker couldn't take lunch at 12-1 because of a previous obligation at 12:30. so here i am alone, waiting for the 1 o'clock rush, my mind fogging over from sleep deprivation, trying to trudge through this test in case it snows a lot tomorrow and i can't get in to finish. what a fun-tastic day!
