Please be super careful! Best travel wishes!
Thanks! Ha, I cheated. I texted with a coworker who lives nearby and he was like “oh i’m going in too” and so I hiked out to the main road and across it, and then waited and he picked me up. So that was easy.
I walked about a tenth of a mile, in the road because the sidewalks were impassable, and oh my gosh. Nobody’s taking today off– either they’re peons who don’t get paid days off so it’s work or don’t pay rent, OR they’re important and so can’t take a day off at the drop of a hat, and as a consequence everyone is on the road except the school buses.
So I got that far, and stood in a rut next to the road feeling the inside of my nose freeze, and thought, “well, I could make it the rest of the way, but I’d be miserable and might get hit by a car,” and had time to be glad I hadn’t refused my coworker’s offer before he showed up.
The roads aren’t bad– it’s not slick snow, not heavy or wet or anything, it’s pretty powdery. But there’s a foot of it, and it’s in the way, and we’re going to get heavy wind all day.
So we’ll see what happens. The coworker is also the store manager and said he told everyone else not to come in, it’s just him and another long-time employee who lives very close. They figure they can handle it. So I’m here for the whole online department, and they’re here for the rest, and probably there won’t be a lot to do, but I’m getting paid twenty-five cents above minimum to be here so I’m gonna be here. *shrug*
