When did we, as a state, become a bunch of wussies?
A storm is forecast to start "around" noon (actually closer to 2:00pm) and the schools are closed for the day, the state tells all "non-essential" employees to stay home, yet the rest of us still have to show up for work!

Hell, I'd love to have a job that gives you PAID days off for flurries, heatwaves and very obscure holidays on top of your vacation.
I know this may be a dramatization, but when you hear the announcements on the tv and radio, it tends to get to you.

(Unfortunately, teachers don't qualify, because snow days are "no pay" days for them.)

Sorry for the rant, but after seeing plenty of co-workers having to scramble to take care of their kids, it just got to me.

I need to go ice fishing!
