Snow turned the day unpredictable... what's everyone else doing?
I have to get to the print-shop and get the 'found dog' flyers done, but the snow is playing havoc with the bus schedules.

3", and the bus that comes to our neighborhood is running 45 minutes (or 55 minutes or 30 minutes) behind, depending on when you look at the 'on-time ticker' on their website.

I'm thinking about just bundling up and going to sit at the laundry-room (beside the bus stop) and wait until it finally gets here.
*sigh*

1. "Freezing" inside of your typical office building
that only knows "hot" or "cold" for environmental control.

2. My workplace is the same way... and i never know how to dress.
If i wear long-sleeves, it's 90... if i wear a polo, it's 50.
*ugh*

I'm gonna put a mousetrap inside the thermostat box, i swear.

3. I like the mousetrap idea
:D

However, the thermostat is controlled not by our office on this side but by our neighbors' office on the other side of the wall. If they like it cold, we are cold, too. Yet, other parts of our office get their own thermostat control.

I'll be so glad when we move upstairs and don't have to put up with this crap. I just wear one of those quilted/flannel jacket-shirts all the time and no one notices. You should keep a sweater over your chair (or wherever) just in case :)

Someone should just go ahead and make pod-like cublicles, fully enclosed so you can have the temp what you want it at and save everyone money and headache :D

4. At work.
Hoping I can get home before it gets icy. Predicting 2-4 inches of snow (I can handle that no prob) but its the sleet/freezing rain that we are getting this evening that has me worried..:(

7. Nooooo! It's killing my sinuses.
Yesterday it was 40. Today 70. Tomorrow, back in the 40s. Sickness is coming.

9. No snow here, but it's cold (20s). I'm going to work for a while, then I'm going to run errands.
