it's nice to know exactly what your life is worth in the grand scheme of things. in my case, it's worth $113. thats right folks, not even enough to buy a text book for the semester. how do i know this you ask, well let me elaborate. we got like 13 in of snow last night. i was at my boyfriends house and being the good employee i am decide i'm going to try to get into work because the other girl won't get there until six. if she'd get there on time i wouldnt have even tried. it doesn't look TOO bad out. so i start driving and get a message from my grandma telling me to stay where i am becuase the roads are crap and its not worth coming home. i was like oh, okay. so i call jamie, bell, shane, chuck, etc to say i can't make it in. three of which are managers and one i was trying to get as my replacement. you know what all three managers tell me. i paraphrase "thats too bad, theres no one to cover and i'm busy/not going to come in. just get there, it's okay if you're late you probably won't be busy anyway." so, money for a f***ing pizza place is more important then my safety. and the $113, that's how much i did last night. piddly shit.
i was also pissed because chalmers is closer to lafayette then wolcott is. and i had an exam this morning at 7:30. i knew damn well that i would have to get up early to make it in time. so now, they had placed me in an even more inconvenient position. luckily, i have the greatest grandma in the world. she was like, just go back to scotts. it'll work out better that way in the morning.
so, this morning. every road into lafayette is closed, all the area schools are closed, the other college in lafayette is closed, there's 13 in of snow on the ground, and it's blowing and drifting. my question to you: does Purdue close? HELL NO, what kind of dumb question is that. explain to me how it's a good idea that i should have to come in for a final when i had to drive 15 mph on a road i normally take at 80mph. it took me 1+ hr as opposed to my normall 25-30 min. the reason they didn't close, i'm told is because the people on campus can still walk to class. explain to me how that is safe or fair that i'm still expected to come in. no, i don't look for snow days and i don't want pity, but for god sake in this kind of driving condition it just frigging stupid to expect people to still come in. i had to get up 2 hrs early to make it.
okay, thats my rant for the morning. still haven't done any of my christmas shopping. was planning on going today but with the way the roads are i don't think i'm going to. seems pretty dumb to me. i'm really debating as to whether or not to head back to scott's house right now. i only have two classes and nothign is really going on in them. i'm getting my grades back in one so i would know how well i have to do on the final and in the other i want to write the evaluation for the worst professor ever. and i'm not exagerating. you get a scantron with bubble questions to answer then you can write commments on the bakc. i know at least 5 people who typed up a 1-2 page paper of complaints and are going to staple it to the eval. i myself have a one page out line written so i don't miss any of the points i wanted to make. if i had had time i would have typed it myself.
