Mother Nature is a mean bitch. She combined epic snowfall with getting my period early with the day before payday. So there I was, trudging through 4" of snow, in my winter boots that I quickly learned are no longer weatherproof, carrying a coffee can half full of pennies to the Coinstar. I recommend against carrying a coffee can around while wearing a pashmina wrapped around your head hijab-like to protect your hair from the snow. Apparently, I looked like a terrorist. A really stylish terrorist.
This is the conversation we had with Meanboss at 11 am.
Us: There's 3" of snow on the ground, and it's falling at a rate of 2"/hour for the next 12 hours.
Meanboss: So?
Us: We'd like to go home before we get snowed in.
Meanboss: There's 3" of snow on the ground- you're being ridiculous!
Us: 6 hours x 2"/hour + 3" on the ground = 15" of snow.
Meanboss: Fine. We can leave at 2:30.
Us: *collective seething hatred*
So, I'll see you when I see you.
