Douchey day at work, but dog pics make it better?
The snow stayed very heavy for most of yesterday. Our morning jaunt outside with the dog was when we had maybe a foot or so of snow. The late afternoon/evening trip outside involved significantly deeper snow.
It went from about knee-high to a pitbull to chest-high to a pitbull!
Breaking a trail was a little more difficult this time. (I love how high he's trying to step, lol.)
And the blowing snow streaking across his face adds to how sad he looks about it.
The spot where he decided that was enough of that.
Aaaaand we're coming back now.
We got a bit more snow after that, I think with a total of around two feet.
(The rest is bitching.)
This morning just about none of the snow had been removed from around the garage. So I was supposed to get in to work, and we promptly got stuck in the back lot. Nothing had been plowed, the snow was piled 2+ feet over sheet ice from the rain that happened before the snow. And then there was a tow truck blocking the alley, and the maintenance crew didn't try to plow anything, but did knock over a dumpster outside the garage.
Alex got snarly about it, because he didn't want to drive in it, and I was afraid if we went back to the garage (which was also hard, with the fallen dumpster blocking it) he wouldn't be willing to try to go out again. My manager couldn't come get me because so many people weren't in at all, so she couldn't be off the phones that long... it all just sucked. (We were snarly at each other a bit, mostly because we were both mad about the situation in general.) We finally got out of our neighborhood, and then were almost wiped out by an absolute SHITHEAD driving the wrong way down a divided road, so that was cool.
We eventually made it, and I was only about half an hour late. Alex waited for a couple hours in the parking lot in the hopes that things would clear up some. (Apparently the roads got better, but they still hadn't done anything to our property, so getting into the garage was still difficult.)
So a few of the centers were completely unstaffed today, which I get, as a few areas had closer to 30 inches, and even the plows couldn't get through until midday today. BUT. The entire corporate staff decided to work from home! Which is just fine for them apparently! Because the roads were bad! It would be dangerous to come in!
I could scream.
And then they wanted to be assholes about the Arvada support person not coming into the corporate office for the evening portion of her shift - that same location that they all claimed was too dangerous to get to.
Fuck them.
Alex texted me in the afternoon saying he'd been having chest pains, and couldn't tell whether it was anxiety or something like a heart attack. I told him to go to the ER, but he decided it was probably just anxiety. Certainly better than a heart attack, though not any fun.
So he didn't want to come get me in the evening. I had to take a Lyft home, but since there were a lot of people who didn't want to drive in the snow waiting for rideshares, it meant I had to wait for about 40 minutes after my shift was over and pay about $30 to get home, which sucked. (The driver was nice - we talked about horrible diseases.)
I'm pretty fed up with it all, tbh.

I hope Alex is feeling better

He is! No more chest pains today, so it seems to have passed.

I really hope Alex is okay!

I think he is. He's feeling much better today.

Hahaha, I was *very* strongly considering how sad it was that I got terrible food poisoning and couldn't come in. So sad! ;) At least the next two days are my "weekend", so I have a few days where I don't have to deal with that nonsense!

Hopefully it would be better. Your job is an asshole, and at least, you've got one boss who's a good person. The rest should choke.

I think we were both angry at the situation and not each other, but yeah, it felt like he was pissed at *me* for having to go to work when like... it doesn't really matter if it's a good idea to be on the roads or not: I have to get to work or I risk losing my job.
My job is a conglomeration of assholes. I do really like my manager and appreciate that she has my back. She can be a super bitch, but she isn't to me, and I also don't mind doing shit for her because she does have my back about things.

Watching him in the snow was hilarious, honestly. He has a very expressive face, and definitely went on an emotional journey over it, haha.
