Snow Day fun

Nothing beats a snow storm followed by a a cold sunny day. Waking up to your car buried under a foot of snow is no fun, but the glaring sun makes everything seem so bright and happy. This morning, running late as usual I came outside to realize that I got at least a half hour of shoveling to get the car out. Cursing the fact that I had no sunglasses in the blinding sun reflecting from every square inch of the surface around me, I grumpily started digging the car out. I kept thinking about work impatiently. There's so much cools stuff going on and I am here, pointlessly shoveling the car. All of it seemed to be an extreme nuisance and a waste of time, but the warm thought of things to come kept me amused by my own imagination. Finally, after some serious sliding and skidding down the waterloo side roads I made it to work alive.

typically on days like this the office is quiet because everyone is either not there at all or using the snow day as an excuse to show up in the afternoon. That's fine by me as long as deliverables don't get postponed till the snow melts. Gotta love the web industry, poor weather doest affect business too much. Now alone at my desk I am gazing at the sunlit fields of snow outside my window and everything seems like its going to work out just fine.
