Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...
Approximately ten people actually showed up at Unnamed Nonprofit this morning. Everyone else called out. Including the entire customer service department other than me and every single people who normally acts as a back-up on the phones other than RB (who had a ton of things to do in her own department and really didn't have time to be on the phones).
... yeah.
Luckily, I'd already been expecting it to happen (plus MJZ sent me a text around 7am letting me know that she, JS, and FM would definitely all be out), so it wasn't too bad. The phones got busy for about half an hour after scores were released for the week, but other than that they were fairly mild, so I had time to get the important things done before we closed.
Speaking of which, when we got in they were saying that the office would close at 1pm. Then, about 45 minutes later, they switched it to 12pm. Then, after another 45 minutes, they changed it to 11:30pm. And then, after another 5-10 minutes, they basically said "fuck it, let's close now." So, yeah, we were there for about an hour-and-a-half. Personally? I would have rather just stayed in bed, but oh well. At least it earned me brownie points with the upper management.
Anyway, it's been snowing for a little less than an hour, and it's already looking like a mess out there. I'm curled up inside with food and beer, although I'm finishing up my last few hours for Part-Time Job for the week before I break out the alcohol.
