Today is an Almost Snow Day, the sort of day when the snow is deep enough that you want to stay home, and you know the only sane course of action is to stay home, but you can’t stay home because you have a job and it’s still open for business. An Almost Snow Day is a terrible start to the week, just enough of the real thing to make getting to work a wet and icy chore, but not enough to keep you toasty warm in your bed watching cartoons or reading a book, which is the sensible place to be on a Monday morning like this. The University was on a two-hour delay this morning, and the buses are running slow, so I’m here later than expected. But I’m still here. And that hardly seems fair.
