Snowmageddon 2018

The blizzard started right before i had to leave for work and was going strong as i was trying to get there on time. This morning I could barely see the road for all the snow flying at me on the way to work and i kept wondering why they would not close the plant during a blizzard like this. As usual, the weather men said there would not be much snow. they always get that wrong when the second snow comes and its always the big one so i knew they were wrong when they forecasted a little snow. about an inch. instead we get about four or five inches in the eight hours i spent working and worrying if i would be able to make it home without a tow truck. but as the clock kept ticking, the blizzard kept blitzing. of course six inches of snow is about the usual for january here and i know a lot of places up north got worse. one reason i never moved north. the main reason actually. but we usually get a small snow in the winter around january ish and then a little later a big snow. i dont mind the snow if i dont have to drive in it, but when i have to go to work in it, that really sux. and its not like an employer is going to pay my repair bill or towing bill if i crash or slide into a ditch. they should have to if they make you come in but big bro dont care about the little guy.
anyway when the big one hits, its kind of pretty the first day, then the night falls and the temps drop even lower and all the snow thats been crushed or driven on or walked on turns to ice. and the next morning, the back roads that dont get salted for days turn into a frozen wonderland where you can go skating for free in your car if you go out. is any minimum wage job worth a crash and repair and possible hospital bill or worse? no. its not.
so tomorrow when the roads outside become a high risk poker game i will be home in my nice warm bed. and if i have to get another job the next week so be it. this small time job is not worth my life.
