It's rare, but......
HA! I just gots the notice, everything this afternoon has been canceled do to the fact these pu$$ies 'round here can't handle a little bit of snow (alright, maybe it's because we just got 4 inches in fomr the morning and expect another 2-4 this afternoon). I've got it to the local weather guys, they finally got one right, for once.....

Now, it's time to start that fire in the fireplace and take boy #2 out to build a snowman (or person, if yer P.C.)


YEEEEEEEEEHHHHHAAAAAAAAWWWWWWW!!

If Nashville was to get that much snow it would almost shut down. Schools would be closed for 1-2 weeks.

at least you guys will have plenty of snow to go snowshoeing this weekend......grrrrr

Glad it worked for you, laqtis. Oonga boongas don't really work to well in Florida. The sun god's reign is much too powerful down here.

Dudes! Where is the snow? We had some for about an hour and then it has stopped completely. We were supposed to get 3 to 5, but only seem to have gotten a dusting.

well with my boss out for the last two weeks (can't walk due to messed up hip) I have been holding down the fort and trying to run our departmnet (purchasing) and taking on a new position (inventory) things have been INSANE.
But along with the headaches and working myself to death, comes some ego stroking :)
so I was informed that if the boss is out for any longer , I can get an assisant. OMG me a boss LOL
so it may not put money in my pocket but it will sure look mighty fine on my resume!
so having hated my job for so long, it feels pretty good to be told "hey your doing a damn find job".
