like Bridget Jones, only not as well put together.

Curvy Jones on: Feeling Cheated

I was so hoping for snow this morning. Not because I really like snow, but because I could stay home and snuggle under the covers and flip through daytime TV and be nice and warm in my comfies. I have so much other writing I could be doing. I have books on my Kindle I could be reading. I am annoyed that I will get up, shower, dress, drive down the street to work and sit there and wait for it to start snowing, and then drive home.

People always laugh when I tell them how close I live to work. I don’t like a commute! It’s not as easy as people think it is, though. It’s not like I roll out of bed and get in the car. I still have to shower, dress, and drive to work, just like anyone else. I just don’t have to drive far.  I’m still late 4 out of 5 mornings.

Of course, there is a chance that it won’t snow at all. In fact, I am banking on nothing of the sort. According to the morning news, it will be mostly rain by the time it hits North Fulton County. I’m in Cobb, just above Fulton. I am guessing it will just be rain. BoooHiss. If we’re going to get bad weather, it should be bad weather for all, so we can all stay home! The boss is out today, there is no Tuesday meeting today, several members of the Exec staff (whom I work for) are traveling today. It would be a perfect day to stay home. With a big cup of coffee and something sweet from StarBucks.

I won’t, though. Because I always feel guilty about taking days off, even when I’m sick. I took last Monday off and spent half the day worried my boss was mad. So, I’ll get up and go to work and sit there and watch the window for the first hint of flakes. Just my luck, they won’t come.

Again I say, BoooHisssss.  Watching Weather.com like a hawk,

Edit: Yep, guess who is back home?  Totally doing the ‘at home in the middle of the day, dance’!
