Today is the second day the snow of the 2011 Winter season. For day one I sat home bored out of my mind watching re-runs of Law and Order SVU. It was pretty miserible. I tore my calf muscle on 1/22 during an indoor soccer game so I'm not near as mobile as normal. ESPN has a huge deal set up in Sundance Square that I would have liked to go see if I could walk normally. Right now it's more of a limp with a cane for support. I did deal with my boss in calling throughout the day seeing if I would be able to make it to any of my locations. He's based out of Houston so he didn't seem to grasp how bad the roads and weather were. Finally after the 3rd call I started sending him picture txt's and he quit calling.
I came in today and the drive was a good 1.5 hour trip and I didn't get over 40 mph. The bridges and overpasses are still iced over pretty bad. As usual anytime the weather gets bad the retards come out. I saw a guy flying past me in the left lane (which was totally iced over) in a Toyota Camry. He got about 50 yards from me and spun out into a ditch. Well played smart guy- haul ass in the one lane covered in ice. I decided to come into the Weatherford location today and realized there isn't a reason for me to be here. I had to park across the street and walk over. The driveway to get to the store is covered in ice and on an incline, the parking lot is also covered in ice. I've watched 3 accidents and a few other almost accidents. I've seen countless people stuck and spinning their tires too. There is a Mercury Grand Marquis that is currently stuck on the side in a ditch and the Oncor guy has called it quits on trying to come into the lot. Looks like there is now an old dodge mini van stuck right where the Marquis was. It's kind of funny to watch. I see the mini van is able to reverse but he keeps trying to got forwards. I'm not sure why he doesn't reverse to get out, but hey- it's not me...
I think I'm ging to close this bad boy down in a few hours. There isn't a point for me to be here and the weather sure doesn't seem to be getting better. With the weather as crappy as it is I'm sure the Houston folk will be bitching about me closing the store, but oh well. Have a wonderful snow day kids!
