i don't want to watch the magic schoolbus

[ironymaiden]

my senior year of college, we arrived for the spring semester and it was snowing. the next morning, the state declared a state of emergency. first time in my life: the governor told everyone to stay home or get fined. the snowfall was epic. and there we were, trapped in the dorms, with a snow day.

and we hadn't started class yet, so we had no homework, no reading, no books.

we couldn't dig out our cars.

we had nothing to do. it was the worst snow day ever, where it wasn't a welcome break and the weather was so genuinely nasty that we couldn't even build a snowman.

there was nothing on tv.

i was with a bunch of creative people and we couldn't think of a thing to do.

we were in a nothing storm.




i'm done with snow day in Seattle.

The other tenants in my building were mostly knockin' boots. I heard several joyful noises as I headed down to do laundry. Later in the afternoon, there was vacuuming. The electric meters are also by the laundry room, and as I saw only a few meters turning at speed, I wondered if those people were watching TV.

C made it to the office. i was supposed to be working from home, and the VPN kept conking out. i was very restless, and i had already gone for a walk, taken pictures of the snow, and done coffee shop time. i finished my book. i picked up around the house. i fussed with Facebook. i talked on the phone with coworkers because we were having trouble with the VPN. it went from idyll into dullsville.
