Snow!
I just spent 31 hours STRAIGHT at work. I arrived at work at 3pm on Friday and returned home at 10:05pm Saturday night. While the pay check will be awesome with 23 hours of over time...I would have preferred NOT being at work that long.
The amount of snow we got from Friday afternoon until Saturday at noon was ridiculous! Pittsburgh is NOT supposed to get this much snow. To give you an idea of just how much snow we have, it was up to the middle of my thighs and I'm about 5'4" 1/2!
So why did I get stuck at work? Well, Friday night no one was going anywhere! It was snowing like crazy and roads were pretty much undrivable! So, no replacement at 11. No problem, figured I could go home around noonish on Saturday since they were calling for the snow to stop then. Well, didn't happen either. The dumb landlord hadn't shown up to plow the driveway that had thigh high snow all the way down it. When he did finally come, he barely plowed the very beginning of the drive. So to make a really long and frustrating story short, my replacement never came at 3pm and then he never showed up at 11pm either, however, the supervisor finally said I could leave at 10. So I put on as many layers as I could and made the 15 minute trek through the snow on the driveway to the street where Jon lovingly came and picked me up to bring me home after those VERY LONG 31 hours.
You would THINK this would be the end of my story....NOT SO! The truck was still at work and still stuck. My coworker and I figured the landlord would come back and plow the driveway, plowing our cars in, but we could just dig them out afterwards. Well this is NOT the case. The landlord called and said he couldn't plow the driveway, get this, until we removed the cars!!!!!! THE CARS WERE STUCK!!! THERE WAS AT LEAST TWO FEET OF SNOW IN THE DRIVEWAY!!! So, Jon, my dad and myself headed to work to help my coworker shovel out her car and then figure out how to get my truck and the company van out of a driveway that SHOULD have been plowed. It took us an hour and a half to get them all out. Luckily a lot less time then expected! Thank goodness there was 4 of us to do the job. No thanks to the landlord who had left! We ended up shoveling snow from the truck ALL the way out to the section where the landlord had plowed. We removed just enough so Jon could gun the truck through the snow to the plowed area. It took much longer to get the company van out, but we did after getting it stuck 3 times. It would have been SO much easier to dig the cars out AFTER the drive was plowed. Whatever! What goes around comes around! I promise the landlord will hear from the head honcho on Monday about his performance this weekend.
So now that this crazy ordeal is over, I'm off tomorrow! PRAISE THE LORD! Seeing as I had NO weekend, I told my boss I was taking a "sick" day. He told me I didn't need to use a sick day, to just take the day off instead! I'm just thrilled to not see that place for longer than 24 hours and to spend time with Julianna! That was the longest I have ever been away from Julianna since she was born! It was way to long! I missed her very much!
Well off to relax and play with my little girl and spend some time with the hubs! GO COLTS!
MUCH LOVE!
