Well...it's about a quarter to 8 on the 6th Jan 2010. I've been at work for 20 minutes! God Damned snow! I thought the roads would be treacherous (which they are in places) but on the most part...dare I say it...the council have outdone themselves on the main roads.
So, I sit here. Waiting for the inevitable. There will be people who live closer to work than I that don't make it in today. There will be people who simple tell their bosses their roads are impassable and they can't come in. But, I work in facilities. We must be the ONLY dept that NEVER get any slack...on anything!
Do I have a mind to work my arse off today?! No. Do I have a mind to sack it off, sit here thinking about the journey home and wish I worked in a school given that they are all closed?! YES!
But, I think my little ramble today should have meaning. So here it goes. I'd like you all (I think 2 of you read this regularly - you know who you are) to spare a thought today for anyone who works in the emergency services, hospitals, and councils around you. It's very easy to criticise in our position. Too easy in fact. But try and bear in mind the fact that without such people we would be blind and stranded by weather such as this.
Remember the people around the world who have never be able to appreciate the joy of snow, focus on the joys. All of you who have children in your life will understand.
SO! Take care. Of yourselves and those you love. Whereas snow is beautiful and fun; like fire it can burn you forever.
Finally, my thoughts are with the family of one of my closest friends. I hope today goes well...or as well as they can at any rate.
