Snow Day

[figaro]

Today sucked. Yesterday, this started happening:



Last night, it got a lot worse. The snow is up to my knees. I was off today, so I was looking forward to enjoying it. Work prevented that from happening, though. My assistant manager and senior game adviser called out today because of the snow, so no one opened my store. I got calls and texts all day about my store not opening, and I got a lot of pressure to go in.

There's something about me GameStop needs to realize: I am scared to death of driving in snow. I'm from South Carolina where it almost never snowed, and when it did, the entire town shut down. Here in Kansas, life seems to go on no matter what. I wasn't able to get my car free, and even if I was able to, I'm not sure I would have made it. I got text after text though. It was annoying as hell. Today was my day off. I spent the day stressing out about work.

I took H Squared out in the snow. Helo loved it and threw himself around in it. Huck absolutely hates it. He won't even walk in it. I have to carry him outside and place him in a patch of grass just for him to go potty.

In other news, The Walking Dead is freakin fantastic. I read two more volumes today. I'll probably start Volume 4 tonight. This series is going to break me.

Man! I hate being bothered about work on my day off. I guess it's a lot harder because you're the manager, but sometimes shit happens! One day of work is never worth you getting in a car accident :(

I agree! The whole situation annoyed me. I work so damn much that when I'm off, I need to be off.

Aww, that sucks. :( Having to work on your day off is never fun.

Thanks, yeah. I haven't had a single day off where I wasn't at least called and asked a question about work. I think I need a vacation.

It snowing for a few days just earlier this week out here in Japan. I know what you mean about life going on in shitty weather; we get some pretty gnarly typhoons and snow days, an we're still expected to bike out to school. I'm like dude, did any of you realize that it's, you know, dangerous to be out in that kind of weather?

I seriously hope you got that whole day back. That's just BS.

Haha about getting it back. Not happening.

Wow! They canceled school here. I thought GameStop was just nuts. Stay safe, Stefi!
