The apartment complex sent out an email today letting us all know the office might be closed due to the severe weather coming in and for everyone to be prepared and keep safe. So I trekked over to the Weather Channel’s website, and it looks like we’re getting 1-3 inches of snow/ice on Sunday.
Now, my from-the-Northeast girl brain wants to scoff at such a modest amount of wintery precipitation causing such a fuss. However, I have come to know that it is more than capable for fucking things up proper down here in the Peach State. My first winter down here, there was a similar event. My boss told me to take home my laptop because I’d be working remotely for a few days. I did not believe him (even though he’s also a transplant from up north).
As I started driving to the office Monday, I was like, “Wow. McDonald’s is closed. Wow. The gas stations are closed.” I was the only person on the road. I was just about halfway to the office when my boss called to ask if I was still coming in. I told him I’d just turned around and was heading back. I was working remotely for most of that next week.
So tomorrow I’ll run to the store to stock up on water and some staples to tide me through the storm. Thank goodness I went to the store on Tuesday and picked up a fresh sack of food for Ripley (so she doesn’t decide to devour me in my sleep because she’s a poor starving dachshund).
