Some Days the Real World is Rough

Now, I personally think it's easier to be a grown up than a kid - maybe that's just me.  Anyhow, every once in a while, there'll be something I desperately miss from childhood, such as the magical wonder known as snow days.   It made winter worthwhile.  I have a feeling I'm not alone on my love of snow days - there's a facebook group that describes a snow day as 'a one day extension on life'.

However, in the real world of downtown Chicago jobs and public transportation, large snowfall only means more daily hassles and frozen feet.  Alas.  Although, at one point in my adult life, I was part of an organization (which I am most certainly not part of any more) that had a snow day, but I suppose that made sense because we were all treated like kindergartners there anyway.

I got a three hour late start/snow day today! However, that is only because Des Plaines/Cook County can't seem to get their act together and plow a damn street. My car didn't even clear the snow on River Road. It SUCKED and took me 45 minutes to drive a mile. YEA PARTIAL SNOW DAY!

Just work in a school if you want a real snow day. And real winter break, and spring break, and summer vacation....So you see, some of us manage to avoid the real world all together!
