careful what you wish for
I wanted just a little snow this winter. I got a little and lots of ice. I was scheduled to be at work from 4 pm - 8 pm today. I called at 3 to see if the call center was still open cause the road outside my house was snow covered. People in Knoxville panic when we get a little snow. :D/ I was told yes. Clocked in at 4 and at 4:40 was told we were closing at 5. My manager knows I panic in bad weather so she asked if Jim was coming to get me. He gets off at 5 so I said no. They let me go on home. It took me 10 minutes just to get off the road work is on. Not very far at all. over 40minutes later I got to the intersection close to my house to turn left, the road was backed up by cars. It usually takes me 20 minutes for the whole drive home, I made many people mad cause the finally had to go around me. I called hubby the problem and he said just wait/cld dtr and told her the situation (she had just got off work). We finally met at the local Subway and had to leave my blazer and hubby's truck there. We drove her jeep home with jim driving. We finally got home at 10 minutes to 8.
There had been at least 5 accidents on our road, the first major curve was solid packed ice. Some wonderful people had been out of their cars for over 3 hrs walking beside the cars showing drivers where to drive their cars to get through it. Lots of applause to these people.
We made it home safely thank the Lord. |
