It was supposed to be a mix deal with snow/rain/snow. This morning's forecast is now calling 30 inches of snow for the next 3 days. :twitch:

Parents get here at noon. Hannah's school is closed because of the cold - concern about the teachers and travelling in the cold.

HEY. I ran 5 easy miles before sunrise. I was going to take tomorrow off from work but I have been summoned to "storm duty" with heavy rain and wind rolling through. Basically I have to go stand by downed power lines and warn people not to drive over them, because people are fucking stupid and need to be told this.

How did you manage to get involved in that?

:wave:

Will head into work later for bowling and food to celebrate the holidays with the team. Which is okay with me.

Otherwise, time to switch over into Christmas mode and give my mind a break.

Not a fan. I feel a little better after seeing Montana, but still. Glad I got my new tires yesterday, that's a little less sketchy.

Every employee has an emergency storm assignment, which takes priority over your regular job if you are summoned. This is the first time in the 2.5 years I've been working here that I've been called to duty. I knew when I took the job that this was part of the deal. They only call upon us office folk when major outages and carnage are predicted, in which case it is "all hands on deck."

I am actually lucky that my emergency job is easy. I've got two employees who are stuck organizing housing and food for all of the out of town line crews. That is a major pain in the ass.

I, too, will be bowling later. But not for work, we’re celebrating some holiday season birthdays. It’ll be all ugly sweaters, hot dogs, and Pabst Blue Ribbon for me and Teh Spousal Unit™ this evening.

But first, we’ll try for a few laps at the local ski hill. These new boots ain’t gonna break theyselves in.

:::anger is intensifying:::
Shoddy work by my direct report is starting to reflect on me and I'm getting pissed. I am at a loss at the moment as I've been clear what he's been doing and it should be clear what side I'm on at this point. Maybe it's just holiday stress?

My mom just texted that she's never been below 10* before (also here). Today is gonna be funny.

Also, Layla is refusing to go outside. She went out at 12, very unhappily, I might add. Just stuck her nose out, looked at me, and turned around.

Our DSO was not impressed, speed pooped as it was burning her feet I think.
