editor’s apology

the editor of this publication would like to apologize for any remarks that nature or H– took to be slanderous in our previous article. at the time of printing, the article in question (“nature fail”) was correct. shortly after going to print, however, we received notice that snow was indeed on the way, and H– employees could go home early. the editor and author apologize for any misrepresentation, however unintentional.

nature fail

i felt like a little kid this morning (yes, moreso than usual). we were supposed to get up to 12 inches of snow beginning midday – which was all but an ironclad guarantee to only have a half-day at work. imagine my delight. i mean seriously. i cannot think of anything more wonderful than a half-day of work (except a full day off work, or being independently wealthy and never having to work at all – anyway).

so we all came in to the office, brighter-eyed and bushier-tailed than ever. inspired by our impending early dismissal, i managed to get a ton of work done this morning (probably more work than i’ve gotten done all year). the excitement around the office was mounting as the early hours ticked by. 11 o’clock was the magic moment. at 11 the blizzard was supposed to come.

i think one snowflake fell.

and now, just before 1 pm, when we’re supposed to be in the middle of an utterly wretched storm (a FebFury, to quote sharon), this is the scene outside:
