Man, yesterday sucked.
As you probably remember, I am currently on spring break. Enjoying myself, packing on pounds, and building a troublingly elaborate fort in my apartment out of couch cushions and syrup bottles. Your average, blue-blooded American stuff.
Well here comes yesterday’s snowstorm, and suddenly everything’s cancelled. School districts called off their busses, and PTA meetings vanished into nothingness. I got the call at about 7:30 AM with the bad news.
My spring break had been cancelled. I had to go back into work.
Unbelievable.
All the fun I had originally planned for my day was thusly cancelled; replaced only with tedium and despair. I didn’t even get to teach. I had to stack cardboard boxes in a nameless warehouse for 10 hours. They weighed 35 pounds each and smelled like the dumpster behind an Arbys. I had to stack them on palettes in 10×10 piles, wrap them with plastic wrap, load them onto a semi trailer, and then drive the semi to Alberta, Canada for delivery to a regional magistrate. It sucked. It was literally worse than the Stalinist atrocities.
Also, my wife made me take down my fort.
its probably better off you have to take down the fort. otherwise you’ll be reminded of old man winter’s betrayal.
If you could have kept the fort, you could have thrown ice-balls at old man winter.
