Weather ****ing snow - Page 4

kc rush · 12-09-2009, 09:28 AM

****ing snow, ****ing work, ****ing stupid me for going in

We had at least 8 inches of snow in the last 24 hours and 11 inches in the last 48. We were told that if the weather was bad enough work would be closed today. No such luck.

Manufacturers, service businesses and even the university were closed today. The police said don't go in unless you have to. Of course, we (a service industry) are open.

I had to dig out of some 1-1/2 foot drifts on my driveway, had to rock the car back and forth to get momentum to plow through the neighborhood street and onto a main road. The end of my road was buried because the plows pushed snow off of the main road and onto the ends of neighborhood streets. While the side streets are terrible, the main roads are fine and I finally get onto it.

Two blocks from my home on the main road I had a choice of running into oncoming traffic at a stop light or running into a 4-5 foot snow bank because while the road had been plowed, there was no salt or sand to provide traction. I chose to slide into the snow bank and spent a good bit of time digging out. Thankfully I carry a shovel in my car and thankfully a couple of guys came by to help push me out.

So here I am at work with probably 15-20% of the staff. I am and idiot for coming in and I am pissed that I was asked to.

Personally, I can't fathom how a logical person can say with complete certainty that burning all that fossil fuel has had absolutely no affect on the Earth's climate, but then again, a lot of people have no idea about global patterns.

You still think your profs were the ultimate knowledge source. How cute.

They knew more than anyone on here, that's for sure.

Once again, I'm not here to argue about GB, I just really don't like when people use cold weather as evidence against global warming. It's so asinine, it makes me lose faith in humanity.

Exact same thing with people doubting evolution by bringing up the argument of "well how come humans aren't evolving from monkeys NOW??" Two of my biggest pet peeves.

Maybe you were just a tad sensitive about the joke, don't you think?

Maybe so. But people do really bring up cold weather as means to dismiss any possibility of global warming.

i don't need a professor to go to outside and in the cold and realize global warming is a joke

A lot of people dismiss the existence of the Tooth Fairy and lepricons as well.

While at the Hy-Vee the other day I noticed that they now sell coffee in a decaffinated form.

Well the trade off for nicely plowed streets is that they ****ing bury you at the end of your driveway, even if I had a 4WD I wouldn't be going anywhere for a while. The difference with your boss is he probably had someone plow his driveway for him bright and early this morning.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Dude, himself, said that "...this aggression will not stand, man..."
