OT- just amusing

I started my new job last week. LOVE my colleagues, the students, the commute is longer than I'd like but it gives me time to talk to my best friend on the phone each morning driving to work and all in all it's great (except the pay! lol!).

I'm in one of the states that was hit really hard by the crazy end of Oct winter storm a few days ago and after being at work for only one week, have now had the past 2 days off and school is closed again tomorrow...

Clearly the reasons for the days off aren't funny in the least-- power needs to be restored to tens of thousands still, but I think it's almost comical that after months of unemployment and being eager to start work, now that I HAVE started, I am back to sitting at home, not working!

I am not complaining though-- nice to have paid days off! And I am one of the lucky few who do have power so I am having a little vacation of sorts!
