jobs i don't want. a lesson i learned from my snow day

the following are jobs i would never want because they don't get snow days.

• banker. shout-out to billy who had to work today.
• news anchor- not only do you have to get to work, on time, because the news goes on, but you have to go stand outside to report that yes, in fact it is still snowing. because people can't look out the window and see this for themselves?
• mail men. our mail got delivered today. yes, it was for someone who used to live here, but it still got delivered. and i bet those mail trucks are not warm.
• snowplow guys. obviously
• bus drivers. they didn't cancel the Metro until 8pm tonight. those suckers got stuck all day.*

but i spent my snow day happily making homemade pizza, watching charlie st. cloud and inception, eating mara's sloppy joes, making brownies, and playing just dance. and i am thankful that i work in a place that likes to shut down for snow.

*this was something new to watch on the news, the busses getting stuck, because we watched the news all day. they kept interrupting ellen, and oprah, don't they realize people don't get to watch Ellen and Oprah every day, and on this special snow day, they get to, so PLEASE don't keep interrupting to say "It is still snowing outside"..DUH
