Snow! - Page 29

Still coming down super heavy in Liverpool. I got sent home from work at around 12:30 with instructions to listen to the radio in the morning regarding whether the school will be open or not. When I walked into the house I jumped around and left pretty deep footprints. A couple of hours later and now it looks like no-one has walked in our driveway all day! I love it

Although it snowed pretty much all morning, it was teeny little flakes so not made much difference. Expecting more overnight so will be keeping my eye on the college website and e mails before I set off in the morning!

Well for the first time today the snow has stopped!

.......and it's just hit here again. Wondering what work will have to say about this? I can see myself being snowed in for a few days like this, been off for 3 weeks for xmas

I hope they won't force me to take it as holiday as that really would suck.

Oh FFS why are people so bloody thoughtless? The parking for the flats is on land at the back of the flats. No designated space but everyone parks in the same place 90% of the time. Obviously with all this snow everyone has been parking in the same place (far easier getting into and out of a space that is the right size for your car and is free of snow and ice). All has been well for the last 2 weeks, lo and behold first normal working day and I come back to find someone has parked in my space. One of the couples in the flats own a florist and their employee who can't park for toffee has parked the skinny ass delivery van where I normally do. Now I've had to park where they were parked but I'm now parked on ice becuase my car is much longer and wider than theirs.

I would go round and say something but I don't want to seem like I'm being petty. It's ******* annoying though.

Will they be gone soon so you can grab your space back?

Blizzards all day today

Settling on even all the main roads so work head-honcho came round and suggested anyone that didn't need to be in should consider heading home - 5 mins before I was finishing anyway but good for the 5pm finishers. I would love a snow day tomorrow but since I'm generally in before my boss even wakes I'd be there by the time I got the call

Muban · 05-01-2010, 17:47

Nope thats them parked up for the night *grumps*

Oh well at least I wasn't planning on travelling south....... the main road out of Scotland from the North is shut, snow gates closed. Can't say I'm surprised though:

It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
