Snowy update
The streets here in the land of Siam are actually pretty clear. It's warm enough for the snow to start melting, so if you don't mind occasionally driving through a river it's not too bad.
My co-op's driveway, OTOH, sucks.
Much like the quality of Star Trek movies, the quality of the snowplow service the co-op uses varies from winter to winter. This winter it looks like we're on suck. They did plow yesterday, but near as I can figure they haven't been back since. I heard one of my neighbors this morning take easily a half hour to try to move his car from one single spot.
I went out, shifted my car a little to get it out of a snowdrift, then said bugger this for a game of soldiers. Called the boss and told him if he wanted me at work he'd need to give me a ride.
I got the ride, which isn't as bad as all that. He's gone tomorrow afternoon and Wednesday, so I'd rather work today and get it over with than sacrifice a sick/vacation day to staying home just because my driveway sucks.
Hopefully tomorrow I can start using my own car again.
Also? In related news? The cast iron plot bunny on my porch is named Logan. I am firing all of you for not pointing this out to me sooner.
