I hate winter

Despite the many joys winter brought my childhood, I remain ungrateful and generally disappointed with this winter's early wrath. Thirty-six hours ago it was 70+ degrees (and I was VERY grateful for that), so you'll understand my annoyance that it's presently sub-twenty-degrees with snow and ice covering the roads, with no improvement forecast for our immediate future. I must venture to work in bitter coldness knowing that most that I work with will instead be sleeping-in.

Though my workplace is closed today, we have customers in parts of the country that are quite non-closed. So the phones must be answered and the people must be helped. And of all my team members, I am the closest to the office, and cannot ask others to do what I would not do myself. Thus, I must traverse the roads that do not seem there, with hopes that my caution will not be voided by someone else's lack thereof.

Wish me luck.
