Snow Day!
Well, more like rain and slush day. And, not for me as much as for others.
Huh?
I don’t know if I ever mentioned that I work for a school district. That means when the winter weather turns south here in the Northeast we could have a cancelation. As we had today. Of course, that means I get the 5:00 AM phone call to put the notice on the website. At five this morning it was a two hour delay. Around six it was changed to a cancelation since the highway department was behind schedule. While most of my colleagues were back in bed, I was on the phone with the network engineers we have down from Buffalo to install and configure the district’s new network.
As is the tradition with my department, a couple of my coworkers and I will be going in to do some of the ever-pressing work we can’t do when people are around. Well at least the pay is good. When one thinks about it, it doesn’t seem like a bad day of work really. I will be able to work at a comfortable pace and won’t have any meetings taking up my time. Dang, I’ll probably be more productive then I normally am.
