Yesterday, we got about 4 inches of snow,
but what made matters difficult is th-
at after the snow stopped some
(some 7 hrs later) sleet con-
tinued to fall which wors-
ened commuting con-
ditions... and tod-
ay, it all froze
thanks to t-
emperat-
ures d-
rop-
ping to
24 (yet fe-
eling like onl-
y 17). Add to thi-
s that I was suppos-
ed to leave work early
since there was said to n-
ot be another shift, yet 10 m-
inutes before the first shift was
over, we were all told that we had
to stay for the 2nd shift. It was suppo-
sed to start 20 minutes after the first shi-
ft ended, so I thought little of it since it wou-
ld mean that we'd start early and leave early. Wr-
ong! When 20 minutes passed, we were told that it
was delayed until an hour from that time, and since we
all signed-on to work the 2nd shift for the holiday season,
we were obligated to stay. And signing the contract was the
only way for us to get guaranteed hours for the holiday thanks t-
o the recession. At least we get hours, but I had a lot of plans for y-
esterday afternoon, but it's nothing that I can't take care of on Monday.
I just feel sorry for those who had to pick up their kids or had major plans.
