    My store (Starbucks) is opening at 7:00 a.m. instead of 5:30 a.m. tomorrow. Since I'm opening tomorrow, and instead of getting up at 4:30 a.m. I can get up at 6:00 a.m., this = WOOT!

    I didn't work Saturday. :) My boss doesn't let me drive on ice.
    Where are you? I'm in Oklahoma. :)

    I love Starbucks, there's one every block here in Seattle :]
    I've had a 5 day weekend. And from what I hear, it's going to snow Tuesday too.

    This ice storm stinks. All the sleet slightly melted today and has refroze over. Ugh. I busted my bottom last night and managed to hit my head pretty hard too when my feet went right out from under me. Lame.

    Starbucks is the best place on earth. Darn Over here in Illinois we got like an inch of snow -.- We had some hail with rain though and it felt like my bro's car was gonna drift across the streets. So cool. Hey if you're from Louisiana, just a noob question but how was Katrina? o_O It looked so cool on tv, with the whole storm clouds and everything. Although looked like it would suck to be in it =\

    I wasn't there, but I was Tech support for Cox HSI at that point in time. It wasn't fun. It was devastating to anyone involved, including myself. I got calls to cancel accounts, and stories of lost houses, dogs, cars, and just about everything else. :(

    I was actually in Gulfport, MS at the time of Katrina. Well, my residence was. I had to evacuate as far north as Birmingham, Alabama.

    I moved to Slidell for a year, then moved to Gulfport one month before Katrina, then Katrina moved me back to my hometown of shreveport.

    I'm a real life evacuee. =P

    =( Well, as long as you end up somewhere where you want to be and can be happy, there's nothing wrong with that I suppose.

    My hours at work on Sunday were cut in half thanks to the ice. The weird thing is that just this weekend we had the ice storm, and the point I was at on Zelda was an Ice temple. At least my accounts aren't iced :D.

    This ice/snow/really sucky precipitation is the worst. Walking to class tomorrow is going to be hell. I don't want to do it.

    we just got 15 centimeters (equal to 6 inches) of snow yesterday... so it looks like winter has finally arrived! It's a balmy -12 celsius (10 F) now!

    I can finally think about going skiing

    Thank goodness for working at home!

    Just think... what you're getting free today (ice) what you'll be paying for in the summertime!

    Enjoy it while you can!
