the Boss didn’t call
So I get out in the cold and ice, risking my neck, to go to work. I get there. The parking lot is a sheet of ice. No cars or people to be seen.
I try to leave out of the main exit and I get stuck in the snow/ice. I put it in reverse thinking that if I got a running start I could make it out. Not a chance in hell. I finally get out the back way. Slipping and sliding all the way home on the roads that haven’t been take care of very well. I get to my turnoff and slow down, lightly apply the breaks, only to slide past where I need to turn. I go the back way to the house. I make it home in one piece. I call the answering service to leave a message and I’m told they went home at 1:00pm. I’m thinking, ‘What in the hell? Why didn’t my boss call me?’
Yeah it’s been that sorta day.

Man, you are reminding me of exactly WHY I left Iowa and it’s winters!
I’m glad you are safe…and I say the boss owes you something good to eat for this.

The office manager just called and said she tried to get ahold of me last night after I called the answering service. She said that the Boss just assumed I wasn’t coming in. DUH! I’d have called to tell someone before hand. He’s a dingbat. It’s worse today so I don’t have to go in. Actually, my county is under a state of emergency.
