Snow Day Once More

Yey!
Home yet again from school and saved from my mid-term exams!
Woo Hoo!
Everyone enjoy their snow day if they are home and warm and all of you traveling to jobs, have a save trip in the snow!

I teach in the NYC Public Schools and they rarely close. However this storm was so severe that Mayor Bloomburg announced last night that schools would be closed today. Yippeee!!! I could sleep late!

I live outside of DC and we haven't had school all week. This week we were supposed to take our exams.

The weathermen were kinda misleading for this one. They said it was gonna be huge! Yes, it did amount to something but I've seen far worse. I still think it was a safe bet to call off school just because you have to consider the teachers who live distances away, the students who do drive to school, and all the work to get your car out of the driveway. And plus most of the schools probably arent even plowed.

My school never closes, but yesterday and today it was CLOSED! YAY! Some schools around me have been closed all week. Now all I am hoping for is a snow day tomorrow for Wonderful Town. My musical auditions were this week though.

Haha.

Why are you giving me the facts? I have lived in NYC for over 2 years. And looking out my window today I don't see too much damage. Have you been to Maine papa? Don't make me shove a Lobster up your butt.

You are a very strong woman, Mistress.

it's apples and oranges, uniq. i haven't been to climax, colorado either as they are the snowiest town in america, but i bet they'd laugh at 10" as their yearly average is 273". but the point being, the coverage is representative of how many people will be effected. with the more cars on the road and this is particularly important in the outer boroughs (b.q.e, l.i.e., cross bronx, major deegan, etc.), there is a much higher potential for calmity with 10" of snow here than there is for 30" in maine. besides, people in maine are used to it, expect it and are accustomed to it. nyc's snowfall over the last few years has been lame. better that they overhype it and people are aware and exercise caution and avoid a 47 car pile-up on the gwb or the verrazano that kills 16 or so people. but yeah, nyers are funny that way.

how stupid is DC? it completely shuts down at the least hint of inclimate weather. These people can't drive in WIND! i've seen it! the nation's capital is the laughing stock of Canada, the midwest and New England, because we grind to a halt for two inches of snow. really, i'm just in a bitchy mood because i've been stuck in the house for three days and the plows have yet to clear my road. "hello, life? yes, yes i know you're busy at the momment, but i wanted to ask if you wanted to--hello? HELLO?"
Take me now jesus, and get it over with! maybe there'll be some gay strippers, waiting up in heaven for me...

mistress, i know you did not intend it to be, and i prolly should not laugh, but i think this is hilarious in a demented way. kinda like the government buying a $600 hammer. it's sad, but funny.

"So I can go around my block... I just cant get off it."

that made my day!

Shall I put a ribbon in my hair and be waiting at the front door for you to come home from a long day of work with a martini and your slippers in hand, too, papa?

of course not, vicious. you'll need one hand for my martini and the other hand for mrs. mambo's cosmo. slippers be damned!
