they said it would never happen
"The courts are always open," my supervisor said. "Unless there is a state of emergency, you must report to work." She told us, "You are essential government employees; even if the news says that there is a snow emergency and state employees are not to report to work, they are not talking about you."
From today's Boston Globe, "Governor Mitt Romney, who declared a state of emergency on Saturday because of the storm, gave state employees in Eastern Massachusetts the day off today."
Well, that's great for them, but I'm essential *eyeroll*, right? How about I ring up the administrative office and see whether there's a snow day message? Would you believe...the Suffolk courthouse is closed today! So is the Probate Court administrative office, so they can't very well expect me to report to work there!
In my excitement, I managed to get attacked by the rug in our living room:
Poor Julian...my screams (of joy and pain) woke him up. Oh, and the Worcester area is apparently in much better shape than we are, so he still has to go to work.
In other news, the Patriots are going to the Superbowl. Lest anyone think that that my baseball views extend to all New England sports teams, allow me to set the record straight and say that this makes me very, very happy.
I have only one thing to say to you:
FLY EAGLES FLY!
(Okay, two things: owwie on the knee. That looks not-so-friendly. :-()
Eh, I was overdue for a self-inflicted accidental injury anyway. Could have been worse...I was inches away from whacking my chin on the (wooden) arm of the futon.
Oy! It's so nice to know that even in this world of chaos and uncertainty, some things stay the same. :-/
Easy healing...
gross, gross, gross. Was the picture really necessary?
but I'm happy you got a snow day :-)
Was the picture really necessary?
Um...probably not, but knowing that the picture was taken before I washed up and bandaged probably shed some light on my messed-up priorities.
