Who Hit the Box Button?
Yesterday, I was lamenting the ridiculously low volume we were getting at work recently. Today, wow; cardboard tsunami!
This was particularly surprising as it coincided with a blizzard.
Yeah, I need to do something about that ivy.
Now Pete, Wonderduck and everyone north of the Mason-Dixon Line are all like "That's not a blizzard, that's a Thursday."
And indeed work was not materially affected...except for all the people who did not show up.
"It's a blizzard!"
" I can't open my door!"
"I can't get out of my driveway!"
" My neighborhood 's roads are impassable"
" I can't get out of bed!"
Kids today.
Despite the sudden spike in volume and dip in staffing we got everything out on time and I worked my first full day in nearly two weeks.
I also suspect from those lame-ass call-ins that the overstaffing situation is about to change.

After moving to Silicon Valley, I often found myself saying, "California drivers in rain are like Ohio drivers in snow". Still holds true after 27 years.

We had about as much snow in Austin, too. But it melted in 3 days.

We had ~5" of snow overnight Monday to Tuesday. THEN it got cold.
We've been lucky so far with the snow.... wingtips crossed, we'll stay that way.

We've gotten a couple inches up here in MA so far and maybe some more tomorrow.
