(no subject)
woke up at noon this morning and the world was full of snow. for most civilians, that means you can go back to sleep. not i. i reside in that gray world of being neither an office pencil pusher, or a true member of officialdom. i am a quazi-civilian, drifting in a world where all important people think i should go away; however, i am paid to be there. for me, that also means my boss was on the phone asking me to come in to work.
i couldn't open my front door from the snow, so had to go out the side and climb a four-foot snowbank with my hands and feet before i could get to the curb. i couldn't see very far ahead of me and was worried i was going to get hit by a car. the wind whipped hard little bits of ice at my face, making my skin sting. i only live two blocks from work, but half-way there, i thought maybe i wouldn't be able to make it.
but i did get to be a part of the emergency broadcasts. i sure called alot of RCMP detachments today. i discovered the secret number for the canadian meterological office. also on the list: airports, snow plough opperators, taxi companies.
i suppose, a better day than being snowed in my house.
