(Okay, in all fairness, let me name those people: parents who want their kids out of the house, parents who have a job which requires them to find daycare for their kids when they're out of school, people who hate shoveling, and ... communists.)
But ... there is almost nothing better than waking up when my biological clock goes off at 6:30, then falling back asleep, waking up and eating breakfast in bed, then playing in the snow. The shoveling part might kind of suck, but at least it's a bit like exercise, so I can pretend I did a workout for the day.
I have about 70 research papers to grade (which blows), BUT! I can grade them at home in front of a roaring fire. The atmosphere alone makes me less angry about the one million grammatical and research errors I am encountering. And if I get truly annoyed at the lack of literacy, I can simply chuck the papers into the fireplace and watch them dance in the flames! Beautiful.
I'm not even angry that the adult male in my house slept until 1 pm and didn't lift the shovel even once. (That's a lie; he's an asshole for making me do all the work, but I'm still on the snow-day high, so whatever.)
While I truly detest winter, I love a snow day. I'm thinking some coffee and Bailey's will be in order soon. And then a snowman. Peace.
