Officially Had Enough of this Winter

Working at a hospital has it's advantages especially in this economy, people are bound to get sick so unfortunatly it's good job security in that aspect. BUT the one thing that is bad about working at a hospital, there are no such things as snow days. If the weather is bad, you are expected to put your life on the line and get your butt in to work, even if you aren't a nurse or some other life saving personnel. So, if you don't make it in because the weather is bad, you are treated like an outcast and you don't get paid for it. Well, since I am now living further NORTH, I am officially in really bad weather. It was horrible yesterday, I made it about half way to work and just kept sliding and then the traffic was so awful I just turned around to go back home, ONLY to land in a ditch by the Police Department in Shoreline. Thankfully two men helped give me a push out of the ditch and I slowly made my way back only to end up sliding down the hill where I live and not being able to get back up it again. I go out again this morning and still can't get out of here. I am stuck at the bottom of the hill and could barely walk up the hill to get back. This has NOT been fun.

I really don't mind driving in snow, I'm actually a pretty good driver when it's snowing, but ice is another story. The feeling of NOT being in control is an awful feeling. This morning my car actually started sliding sideways back down the hill - NOT a good feeling. I also got my final papers back the other day to go and change my name BUT since the weather has been so crappy, I have not been able to do that yet. Grrrrrrr.

IT's really pretty out here when it snows, just a winter wonderland, but I am so over it now...
