We starting hearing rumors at work yesterday around 1 that we were going to be closing early and before too long got the confirmation that 2:00 was the official closing time.
I headed out at 2 in my front wheel drive car through the unplowed streets, while jamming to the best of Marilyn Manson. Because Akron!
This morning, as usual, my phone was one of the last things I grab on my way out the door. I had powered it up, put on my coat, and was outside and locking the door when it chimed.
The university was closed.
For a moment, I stood there, confused. Closed? Really? Two days in a row? It didn’t even seem that bad out. And for a moment, I considered going in anyway. I was already dressed and out the door – ready to start the day.
Instead, because I’m not an idiot, I unlocked the door and went back inside. I fixed some tea and tried to explain why I was still there to a very confused Thunder(cat) – but he didn’t get it. Or, I’m guessing, care.
So, another day of computer games and hot tea. I’ll log in and check my email at some point, but it should be a quiet day.
