Me vs. Ice, Round II

This morning was one of those where I got in the car, drove onto the street, and said, "Oh shit!" At 7:45am, no roads (including major I-94) were salted, and freezing rain was happily falling from the sky to make things not so fun. The scene: accidents scattered about, people spinning out, my car doing lots of fish-tailing, and driving at a crawl and eventually coming to a dead-stop on US-23 for a while.

Let's just say I was not very pleased by our road crew's slow response to the weather this morning. If you had been in the car with me, you may have heard some expletives. I will admit, I was a little anxious during the drive. I was actually glad to be sitting still on 23 for about an hour! lol I even had radio personality Brian Farrar, whoever he is, to keep me company...hearing about stupid courses colleges offer...very entertaining.

I arrived at work around 10:15, 2.5 hours later (as opposed to the usual 15 min.). BUT the key word is arrived...no fender-benders, no careening off into a ditch..whew! I, a relatively-new Michigander, managed fine on the ice!! All those people who saw my GA license plate probably thought I wouldn't make it...so, BOOYAH!!!

I feel like I deserve a ribbon or plaque or something. I mean, there were, according to the radio, at least 30 accidents of varying degrees out there! At the very least, my bank could give me a raise or a day off! Yeah....sure... No one else could make it to work today...so I get to sit here and twiddle my thumbs all by myself for the next 5 hours. Woohoo!

Today's ice incident has only made me stronger, as per the old adage, right?

If you read this, you must really be bored, but thanks for humoring me! ;-)
