I love working for a college, and one of the reasons that I love it so much is that when the weather is bad, I don't have to go to work. I can't possibly complain about having a day off from working in the trailer doing multiple job duties. I worked for an airline for seven years and when the weather was bad, it was even more important that we be at work. Somebody had to be there to handle all the displaced passengers.
Arkansas doesn't really know how to handle snow. They use sand instead of salt and I'm pretty sure the small subburb of Little Rock that I call home doesn't have even one snow plow. I have lived here for a little over four years, and this is by far the worst winter I have experienced. It's only the beginning of February, so it's hard to see any end in sight.
Anyway, I love getting a free day off. I'm salaried, so it could snow for a week straight, and I would still get paid. The problem with snow days; cabin fever. Being stuck in the house for days without being able to get out and do anything. Sometimes my husband is home, and sometimes he isn't. Either way I am starting to go a little stir crazy. I am currently on snow day number 3 and am starting to go a little stir crazy. I got out for about an hour yesterday, but the roads were ice and snowed covered, and I quickly came to regret ever leaving the house. The temperature today is supposed to get up to about 40 degrees, so I'm planning an exciting trip to the grocery store this afternoon (that's that new thing called sarcasm, in case you were wondering). Hopefully, a trip to the grocery store will be just the thing to cure my cabin fever.
With warmer temps moving in, I'm sure I'll be back to work next week, and I will probably be praying for more snow days.
