Thanks for nothing

Dear Mother Nature,

I live in New York City and I hate my job. I hate my whole life too, but let's stick to you.

The next time you want to come barrel-assing up the East Coast, looking like a monstrous storm system that threatens to drop 18 inches on the aforementioned New York City, I'd really appreciate it if you would actually HIT NEW YORK CITY. Because I was really, really hoping for a day off today and up until 10:00 last night I was still hearing about "February Fury!" and train cancellations and school closings and I look out my window this morning and see...a couple of inches of ugly, sadsack slush. And right now, it's not even coming down anymore.

So hey, how about it? Give Oselle a snow day. And not on a fucking weekend or holiday either, okay, you snarky bitch? On a fucking WEEKDAY. A WORKDAY.

Off to work,
Oselle

PS: Don't even THINK about getting cute and ramping up this storm in the middle of the afternoon so that it'll take me two hours to get home tonight and then cutting it off so that I still have to go to work TOMORROW. That would be JUST like you. You're making me feel not so bad about the whole global warming thing.

Hate to be the bearer of bad tidings but right as I was reading your post they started doing the national forecast on CNN. They said, (and I quote) re: NYC "storm will intensify this afternoon, dumping a LOT more snow...crippling travel".

*scurries away before Oselle gives her the hose*

It's now 5:00 pm: light snow, no wind, about...THREE inches of ugly, sadsack slush. Big whoop.

We had a snow day yesterday, which was great of course, but actually today is really a lot worse (with blowing and drifting) and we have work today. Go figure! Also every other single school district in the entire area is closed today except for us. Our district likes to prove that it's tough!

I am still hoping that some howler's going to kick up overnight but right now things look pretty calm and I'm not counting on it. What a bust.

I'm in Staten Island,and it's still snowing here.. I'm thinking it's gonna do that all day.. Sorry you had to go into work:( Be safe on the ride home.

Staten Island got plenty of snow on Saturday and up here in Queens we got literally nothing. WTF?

I would ever so gladly send you all the snow and wind we're getting right now. We have a blizzard going on, with at least a foot of new snow on top of the 25 inches we already had. And we so seldom get big snows that it's paralyzed the state.

SEND IT. I need a day off. But don't send it over the weekend because Monday's a holiday anyways.

I'm from Vancouver and we're praying for a little snow to fall. It's a bit sad that the city hosting the winter Olympics has to have snow TRUCKED in from other locations so that one of the mountains involved will be ready for competition. On the other hand, it makes for a safe commute! :)

Didn't they have to do the same thing in Italy four years ago...make snow? Global warming, baby.

Well, sounds like you got your wish. Enjoy!

I didn't get my wish at all! That was the most pathetic excuse for a "blizzard" I've ever seen!
