Snow Storms Cause Work

This morning we woke up to about 6-8 inches of snow. Now I know that my snow blower was worth it. I went to about 5 of my neighbors homes and helped them clear out the snow from where the snow plows piled it up in front of their driveways. This caused me to be about a half hour late for work.


When I got to work, my boss walked in a few minutes later. Then he headed for a meeting without really saying anything to us. He didn't have a coat on when he went to the meeting. As he was walking to the other building I was looking at the window and said to my coworker, "You know how much fun it would be to just go out there and tackle him in the snow?" We all got a good chuckle out of it.


A few minutes later he walked back in and asked, "Would any of you be willing to help me go help a damsel in distress." We all said, "Yes." As we were putting on our coats we noticed that half of the building was walking out to go help this lady. So we sat back down realizing there wouldn't be enough hand room on the car.

Then I noticed that the paramedics next door were going out to help as well. Knowing this would be a funny moment I hurried and grabbed the camera and said to my co-workers, "This is 'Slow Day' worthy." At first I was thinking I would write some post about how many people does it take to get a car out of the snow because there were about 10 people "helping." Then after taking the picture I noticed something kind of funny. The following picture is what I captured. Just want to make sure you all notice who is really doing the work here.

The engineers probably had the easy solution that would require very little work, but as usual people never listen to us. They just look at us and marvel about what does this guy think he is doing then make us go to the county to get some sort of permit before performing the work. The county permits would have taken at least six months making it null and void to even try to get the car out, because by that time the design parameters of the situation would have been changed.

I was waiting for you to tell us something horrific after all the joking you were doing. Now I'm kind of relieved. I think. Yes, of course I'm relieved. That would be sick to wish harm on another person I don't even know.

That's too funny! But seriously, who would you rather see bending over right in front of you? The paramedics of course!
