our skin gets thicker from living out in the snow
Overnight something like 7 inches of light, fluffy snow fell in the Twin Cities. My driveway only had like maybe 5 on it, but I'll call it 7 because that's what the radio is saying it is and it makes it sound even more winter stormy.
I'd like to take advantage of the snowfall to remind everyone to please observe proper snow removal etiquette when clearing your walks and driveways. I saw a few of you using your snowblowers after we had that 3 inch dusting a couple weeks back. Bad form, people, bad form.
Also this: It's totally cool to wear your big winter boots to work, so long as you bring different shoes to wear once you're there. And if you accidentally forget your other shoes, it is totally acceptable to stomp around the office in your giant winter boots for the remainder of the day. And if you want to wear them down to the cafeteria to get coffee yelling "THESE ARE ME COFFEE BOOTS" that's ok, too. At least it's ok by me. Maybe you're the kind of person who would rather drive all the way home just to get a pair of shoes, and hey, more power to you. But if you are, methinks you're exactly the type of person who needs to spend more time stomping around the office in a giant pair of boots.
Also this: WOW a lot of people took snow days today.
Watch out for skitchers.

dad thought:
Also, since no school due to mlk holiday, many took off for kids at home or minitrips
dave thought:
i'm only saying WOW to the number of people who called in to say they weren't coming to work because of the snow, not those who scheduled a day off because of the holiday.
dad thought:
You mean people actually weren't ashamed to take a snow day for that? I guess society IS falling apart.
