Weather update: Working is for the birds


This last week was a strange week. I used 5 hours of leave and ended up only having to work 15 of 40 normal work hours. My schedule allows me to work 4 - 10 hour days, so I naturally get one day off (Monday). I also got Friday off, because this coming Monday (Presidents Day) is a holiday, so my day off moves up one day. This left only 30 possible hours and 25 hours after my mid morning dentist appointment on Tuesday.


I only stayed at work about an hour and a half on Tuesday because we were sent home early due to the winter weather outside. Part of the time was my lunch, so there was only about an hour of worktime. Half of that time was starting my computer and reading work emails; the other half was everyone debating if we'd end up going home early and checking OPM's website to see if it was going to happen.


Wednesday started with a 2 hour delay because of road conditions; I actually was at work for 8 full hours. Thursday was a full 10 hour day, but with class from 8:30 - noon, and a short drive there and back, I only had about 6 work hours that day. Eight + one + six is fifteen work hours for the week. The previous week, we were sent home early on Tuesday because of a water problem (we had no running water in the building), so it was only a 1.5 hour day for me. I have no idea what I'll do next week when I have to return to 4 - 10 hour days.
