Its ok. I was invited sledding so I might take peeplet to do that. It is official, we got an email from our chief of staff.
Good decision. Just got back from dinner and roads are not that great. Portions but majority need a lot more work.

How about WUSA flashed it on the screen just before the kick-off of the Super Bowl?
Keeping my fingers crossed that this will carry over to Tuesday as well.

We still have to work even though the Feds have shut down. I'll be working from home.

I don't really have a choice. Day care will be closed because the federal govt is closed. But I prefer working at home anyway.

Why do you think they call it "liberal leave?"
I could work at home or I could go sledding. I am going sledding. I was taking off part of the day anyway today because of doctor's appointments.
