Thankful Thursday

Thursday, February 06, 2014

We got hit Tuesday night and most of Wednesday early morning with about 8 inches of snow! We were put on a level 2 snow emergency almost as soon as it started snowing. There were car accidents everywhere....it was really a mess outside.

If that wasn't bad enough, when it stopped snowing yesterday morning, we then got almost a quarter to half an inch of freezing rain. That is the scary stuff...thankfully we never lost power but everything was so slick and glossy!

Thankfully, I have a great boss who understands that instances may arise that make it very difficult to make it into the office. Our department met on Tuesday and decided to take our laptops home just in case we got what they were calling for.

So instead of having a major anxiety attack at the thought of having to drive into work on Wednesday, I was able to work from home and get all my month-end responsibilities taken care of from the comfort of my couch and kitchen table. I don't like driving in bad weather at all and hate the thought of having to make my husband take Grace out in it just to take me into work.

So this week, I'm so very thankful for a boss that understands weather sucks sometimes and doesn't expect us to put our lives at risk to make it into the office if we are able to do what needs to be done remotely.

I mean who wouldn't be happy getting a play dough hot dog delivered to them while finishing some spreadsheets?
