Snow Day videos

We recently remembered that videos are easy to take and fun to watch, so here are a couple from today:





We had a great time in the snow, shoveling, making snow angels, making a snowman, and sledding. Sadie only wanted to stay out for about 10 minutes at a time, but you can't blame her since with all the clothes we had on her she couldn't get back up on her own when she slipped in the snow. But Jake insisted on staying out and playing with "my kids" until his cheeks were beet red and the snow had found its way into every tiny opening in his polyester armor.

I was supposed to take the train up to New York City this afternoon for work, but those sissies in NY and Boston called to cancel! And they say DC shuts down at the first sign of a snowflake. Personally, I think OPM is scared to shut down the Federal government after the new Prez chided his daughters' school for closing the last time we had a little dusting. I predict no free vacation days due to snow for the next 4-8 years. Oh well, small price to pay.

I agree! last year, the feds would have shut er down after 2 inches!

- as previously stated, Obama works from home! (stupid telecommuters..grumble...grumble)

He doesnt have to drive in the nightmare that is the DC/VA/MD traffic when ANYTHING falls from the sky- so O don't know the pain and suffering imparted on those of us with superior snow driving skills by others who are rushing out to buy canned goods, flashlights and bottled water as if the apocolypse is happening.

Where does the director of the OPM live? That will be THE KEY to predicting future snow day closures.

If he/she is in DC, we are screwed for 8 years. Lets hope they live out 270 somewhere... or on the other side of the mixing bowl. Actually- that should be a requirement for that position.

In conclusion, Id like to pose a question for discussion: What is the value in declaring a "liberal leave" policy anyway? What does that mean?? That you can call in and nobody is allowed to judge you? HA HA! That would be great if the rest of the DC world (who follows the feds status)had as many days of leave that you bamas do! I simply MUST get me one of those GSA jobs. It will be mine... oh, yes... Ry, it wont be long before you are having flashbacks of 10th & S...

"who left the super secret files unlocked again??"

(Ry pauses in contemplation then it dawns on him..)

...CARA!!!
