Snowmageddon

Tuesdays are generally my late day here at work, which means today I was supposed to be at work from 11-8 pm. While provided with the option to switch out my late day to Thursday, I couldn't because I'm hitting the road for Nashville via Louisville on Thursday evening, so staying in the office until 8 pm was out of the question. I knew coming in today that I wouldn't be spending the whole day at work.

I took a late lunch with a co-worker, and before we went to his place to eat our Lean Cuisines, we stopped by Malloy's and I stocked up on some delicious beers to tide me over for the next couple of days while I wait this storm out. We left at 2:45, and when we got back an hour later, cars were exiting the parking lot and people seemed to be leaving. When I got into the office, I was told to go home. And not the usual "go home because you're here later than everyone", but "go home because we're closing the building and you have to leave." So I made a few phone calls to let my important people know I might not be in the office for the rest of the day, and left.

All in all, the commute wasn't that bad. Normally, I would take Naper Blvd south to Bolingbrook and head home, however, since Naper is a major exit off of I-88, and my previous experience on said route during inclement weather being incredibly frustrating, I decided to play my cards and go down Washington through downtown Naperthrill. It worked! I made it home in about 45 minutes, besting the hour+ it took during the last, less substantial storm.

I'm going to post pictures of all this, but I haven't set up an account at a picture sharing website to link to, so those will have to wait.

I WAS however, very excited to receive my two books in the mail that I recently ordered from Amazon (shameless plug, expect those because I'm very brand-loyal. For instance, I have a PAID subscription to Amazon Prime, and you should too). The details of which I will detail in a later post.

OK, well that's enough deferring of activities for now, I'm going to take some pictures and carve out a semi-usable walkway at the front of my mother's home. When I return, more posts!!! YAYAYAYAY!!!!
