I made it to work today and it only took an extra 10 minutes! Getting home will be another matter...
Are you guys getting above freezing today? I always worry because it snows/ices overnight, then the sun comes out for a while, then we drop back down below freezing thus re-freezing all the melted precipitation from the mid-day sunshine. Ugh, stupid fucking Southern winters.
I follow the local reporter in my small, farming community, hometown on FB. I like to keep up on what is going on, as the rest of family lives there. There was a story posted of a young man sentenced in a case involving sexual battery of a young child. A horrible act, I think we can all agree. He was sentenced to 25 years in prison. Here are a few comments from the "locals"
"Sometimes I wish the old ways of the Bible were allowed, an eye for an eye etc. he will get his in the end but wishing ill will upon him or threatening him publicly makes us no better. We give a lot of crap to the judges but it would be really hard to decide the fate of a person'a life and the finances of every one else in the state. Too bad we don't run our prisons like Russia, no one would ever commit a crime if they are forced to wear thin cotton in freezing conditions and be considered guilty before innocent."
"I know some hog farmers bub"
"what should happen is they cut all of his man hood OFF and let the scum bleed to death"
"I hope he gets Dahmer'ed while he's in the penn."
and last but not least,
"This jerk broke into my locker at work and stole my watch. I never did get it back from the versailles police."
I am often asked when I visit home "Why did you move to Columbus instead of coming back home?" I should just tell them to read the comment section of our local intrepid reporter. This is a daily occurrence.

In related news, the story yesterday on AJ Johnson getting booked into Knox County jail had numerous comments on how it was a shame this was going to ruin his entire life especially since this woman was obviously lying about getting raped in order to extort money from him.

I don't think we'll get above freezing until Saturday. The roads were still a frozen mess this morning but I managed to get to work anyway. Our office has not been closed during all of this, so I've missed two days already and can't afford to miss anymore. I'm planning on leaving while the sun is still up.

This one gave me a headache. So many contradictory statements. But at least they have pity on the judges that are over our fate and finances.
Found out last week that I got a lady friend pregnant, found out today she's keeping it. Still planning to go to roo, though I'm humbled by the situation.
My best wishes to you, your lady friend, and future child.

You guys have turned me into a bitter snob. I can't even stand to go on Reddit anymore with posts like "Does anyone think there will be more artists added?!?!?!"
Yeah, no shit there will be more artists added. Oh, you're #1 is Bassnectar? Nice.

I feel the same way. I would check reddit much more frequently last year, and mostly just creeped on here occasionally. I don't even remember the last time I went on r/bonnaroo

I think another thing is that it doesn't feel like there is a cohesive community on there. I think that is the downfall of Reddit for me. Sure, I like discussing Bonnaroo with people that go but I also like discussing OTHER things. If you post something that isn't Bonnaroo related, it gets downvoted to oblivion. It's just a circlejerk of discussion with the same posts over and over. Which is why I prefer it here. There is a thread for everything - and if there isn't, you can just create one.

and people don't beat pun jokes to death here, either. christ, reddit is just one big pun competition.

Between work stress and packing for our move, I've been passing out every night just after dinner. Clearly I'm in desperate need of hibernation... Sooooo, how can we make a snow day/week happen in California?

They also use the "radiate positivity" slogan as an excuse for terrible artists on the lineup or questionable decisions by Bonnaroo in general.

just kill 2 birds with one stone and move to a snow-filled land!!

I was wondering this, too. But about Nevada instead of California.

Move to Tennessee? But really, you don't want this mess. I've been stressed all week because our office isn't closed, so we have to take PTO or make up the time. I'm worried that I won't be able to make up the time and will have to take PTO, which will cut in to the Girlchella trip Which means I'd have to reschedule my flight and cut a day or so off my trip. So snow days are really more stress than they are worth.

so. have a chipped tooth. don't have dental insurance. HELP.
Do they have a dental college near you? When I didn't have insurance that is what I did. It is usually super cheap and they have the instructors there, so you aren't getting totally shoddy work done.

That is some serious bullshit, I'm sorry you're dealing with that.
I want the freebie kind of snow day where everyone gets paid because it's not safe to be on the roads. Is that not the norm?

We have that here but it is hurricane days... You really don't want that though.

That's how most companies around here are. If you can't come in due to weather conditions and are unable to work from home, you are required to use PTO. This sucks because I'm kind of new to this company and I'm having to build up PTO for festival season. So, I'll be at the office weather be damned.

there is! and the U of M is a really good dental school. I'll try there.
can I like, get quotes from places? I don't want to get my bill and it be like "SURPRISE THIS IS $800!!!!!!!!!" I don't think it'll be that much... I looked up the ranges for this kind of thing and I think I would be on the lower end like $100-$300... but I want to be sure first. haha

a friend of mine in knoxville is being *required* to show up the last few days. I feel bad for those who have to basically risk their lives on roads covered in 1-2 inch thick sheets of ice, with slippery snow on top of it.
most places I've worked at have been pretty flexible with weather conditions - a lot of offices are understanding when you need to work from home or can't make your drive that's normally 20 minutes turned into 2.5 hours. it's just not worth it. nothing is that important. unless you're a doctor.
