OK. I KNOW that I live in New England and that "spring" officially starts on Mother's Day weekend. However, I wasn't following the weather forecasts, so I was more than a bit peeved when I walked out of work this afternoon to blinding-heavy-wet snow. Apparently, we are destined for at least five inches before morning.
OK. UM.... GRRRRRR.... YUK!
I am beyond tired of this crap. I think one of the major contributing factors is that my place of employment does not recognize snow days unless the city of Boston all but shuts down. So, if I do not feel comfortable driving into work, I have to take a vacation day. And, while I get a fair number of vacation days, I do not want to squander a bunch of them on precipitation. I have already used two days this winter for 'snow'. I am running kind of short on leave right now because I have actually taken a few days off for my own reasons and plan to take a few days off in April, and then again in June, with my family.
It's not really 'horrible' per se. Fortunately, my employer lets you go up to five days in the negative. And, come August, I will be earning vacation at the rate of four weeks a year. So, though I'll be in the hole going into July, I'll climb out of it relatively quickly.
I haven't mentioned this lately, but I think I may be hanging out at The Center for a while. While I still think my boss is a disorganized, self-promoting, witch, I kind of like what I'm doing and the overall environment at The Center. I still am not fond of my hour-long commute. However, I think I am growing used to the down time again, by listening to books.
Right now, I am listening to Snow Flower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See. So far, highly recommended.
