Snow Day

[alee_grrl]

Today was supposed to be my first day of work, but most everything is shut down thanks to the snow we are getting. Yesterday was rain, so there is probably a nice layer of ice under the snow. I sent an email to the head of Human Resources inquiring about whether the office is closed, but have not heard back. Northern Virginia has some plows and salt-sand trucks, but not that many. So it looks very much like today will be a stay-in sort of day.

I think I shall have another cup of coffee and read more fanfic. :)

Heh! Enjoy. :o)

(If you have any thoughts re: kaberett's question about how to poetry for podficcing, by and by, I'd be interested in your take!)

((Might you have a few moments after dinner this evening for the usual plotting & planning POETREE-wise? New month, new calendar updates etc. etc. Also upcoming themed week, yes?))

[alee_grrl]

I'm not terribly sure I have anything to add to what you've already so eloquently said in your response to kaberett's question. I'll think about it and see if anything jumps out at me. My brain is still a bit spongey from last week's marathon exam, but maybe I can get something out of it. :)

I definitely have time this evening for plotting and planning POETREE stuff.

Ugh, I think I might need us to reschedule to a different night (tomorrow, perhaps? or Thursday?) or wait until the weekend to plot re: POETREE; I only just got home a few minutes ago, and I suspect food + finishing up a drafted thing from the train home may be all I have left in me before snooze imperative.

[alee_grrl]

That is fine. During the week I should be home by 6:30/7:00 and am happy to chat sometime in the evening tomorrow or Thursday. Or we could schedule time for this weekend.

[jjhunter]

I'll ping you tomorrow when I get home, and let you know if that works!

/fingers crossed

[alee_grrl]

Sounds good.

[jjhunter]

the train thing (and now my poor unraveled brain & I are off to bed)

*high fives you* So glad the weather did not interfere last week and that you get a lie in today after a hard week last week! YAY.

[alee_grrl]

*high fives* It's pretty awesome to have an extra rest day after last week. :)

ETA: I'm also really, really glad that the storm hit this week and not last. That would have been a nightmare.

[sperrywink]

Yay for extra day!

Snow? Eh, no big. Snow with a layer of ice under it, on the other hand...nuh uh! *shakes head vehemently* I'm very glad you decided on discretion being the better part of valor and stayed off the roads. I hope you find much enjoyable fanfic to fill the day! :)

[alee_grrl]

Yeah, snow I'm willing to try, but ice not so much. I did go out to clean off my car and there is definitely a layer of ice under the snow though it wasn't as slippery as I feared. The snow stuck to it which provides a bit of traction for walking.

I got distracted this morning with Oscar fashion recaps (I do so love seeing folks all dressed up), but have returned to a very long, well-written Avengers fic for the afternoon. My car is all dug-out and I've had a nice hot bath. So all in all not a bad day. :)

Oh, that sounds lovely! I am glad you enjoyed your snow day.
