The blog posts were CRACKED OUT.
And because I love you most, the real gems are reproduced below. Happy Friday!

It seems being from the South gives me a snow day advantage. By this I mean: people are genuinely concerned that the city is officially in shut-down mode, while I comfortably maintain "That is what you DO when it snows." Duh, you guys. You panic, frantically attack your local grocer's nonperishable stockpiles, lock down a Snuggie, and try not to die.
And yet JParty specifically notes:
But what about our RESPONSIBILITIES?

You can actually see the whiteout approaching.
I could be a meteorologist. I bet it's awesome to root for weather like this all the time
and then finally ACTUALLY see the Apocalypse approaching
Temple is closed again tomorrow, which is making locals uneasy. I suppose I should really be concerned that the usually-nonplussed local population is legitimately worried about the SOTPhiladelphiaU, but it's hard to be nervous when there is such a great bottle of wine sitting on my counter right now WHOOPS

Captain's log, day two week two -- The second day dawns eerie and sterile. The building itself is braced for further horror. Human life is as yet undetermined.
SnowNiño has spared none mercy.
Noon :
Work has decided it is my responsibility to keep the business afloat during Enraged SnowGod Tantrum Week and thus here I am, rocking the front desk, singlehandedly managing a small business with my cup of coffee, stack of papers to file, and O magazine from 2007. Turns out you should invest that daily latté budget in real estate, as land pretty consistently appreciates in value you guys.
I bet I would be awesome at corporate America.

I can't decide if this is funny or tragic.
Poor Christine. She was against Philadelphia from the start.
- It strikes me that thanks to Dennis's snowshoveling machine thing and the complex's very own baby snowplow ... I will have lived through three record-setting snowcalamities without having to shovel AN single inch of snow.
Life in the ghetto you guys. It's rough, but we make do.
Haha. Am fairly positive my "responsibilities" declaration was in direct response to the Temple undegrads at the other table of the bar who almost killed me b/c I complained about having to reschedule 20 student conferences, by email, for the second time, thanks to snow day #2. Snow day for them = party time. Snow day for me = extra correspondence and scheduling.
ReplyDeleteOK I will stop now. I ended up going home and napping like all day Thursday. It was pretty nice.
shut your mouth you haven't had to shovel yet? B***h please! I shoveled an estimated 4.5 hours this past week during the DC snopocalypse/snowmaggeddon/snownami. Uggh!!
ReplyDelete@Jackie I am super proud of you buckling down to your Snow Day responsibilities. Also: undergrads are stupid who cares about them
ReplyDelete@Lauren I spoke AN MOMENT too soon: our snow equipment broke down yesterday and Philly is OUT of replacements. As I am out of food, I am putting on my big-girl pants RIGHT NOW to try my hand at the shovel but will probably give up and live off the three potatoes and handful of baby carrots in my kitchen.
Spring is still like 8 weeks away right? I hate you, wintertime.
