We can haz snow day

No trains at all for me and MB's college is closed. Just phoned my office and only a handful of people have made it in - madness!

With blackberry and lappy I can still do some work though so at least I won't get too behind. I'm sure I can still find some time for a little play in the snow though

We've been given 'liberal leave', whatever that is.

I'm able to work from home though, so I guess I will.

It took me over an hour to do a 25 minute journey this morning and most of that was getting out of the village. NO gritters, so the road was just compacted white snow. It was absolutely horiffic and I'm just glad that there is hardly anyone on the road at 6:30am. I gave up when I got 1/4 way there and took the motorway, which was clear.

The carpark hadn't been gritted either and people were sliding all over the place. I parked between 2 cars so I didn't get donked by someone swinging in beside me.

However, it started to snow A LOT at work and I made the decision at 10:15 to come home again before I got stranded, so now it's just me, the laptop, the cat and a mug of hot tea. Only trouble is that someone has nicked the power supply out of my bag so I can only do about 4 hrs of work tops. Sigh!

Its still snowing here, our road is a steep hill so there is only one way out. Tried to persuade the dogs outside to pee but they were having none of it and are back in bed with me. My big sister is flying back from Milan today but her flight is delayed.

Well I guess you could say its snowing here now, theres white stuff falling from the sky. Its not really settling yet though and theres is barely a few milimetres to speak of.

Oh the hardship

Yeah, I can't remember how to turn the WIFI off either (honest

) so it'll die even sooner

Just started to lightly snow again - doesn't look like it has much umph at the moment though - will probably stop in a few minutes

Daz · 02-02-2009, 12:48

I couldn't get the car started this morning and about drained the battery trying

So I'm working at home. Technically first day reporting to a new boos today though so could really have done with getting in.

Be careful of the bluetooth too, especially if a phone is connected that'll drain the battery, as will a phone charging off usb too
