Dear Boss,

asthmaticeog cannot come to work today; he severely injured his back this morning in a righteous attempt to dig his car out.

Yours truly sincerely,

asthmaticeog's chiropractor

18. Actually, it wasn't nearly as bad as I imagined. It wasn't great, but it was do-able. n/t

9. Like I wrote in your other thread...
It sucks out there.

I should have friggin' stayed home too, but I decided to risk my life and come to this place.

Have a good day off! I might just cut out of here early so I don't have to deal with the rush hour traffic.

20. Now, that's funny. Dogs don't like frozen laps!
I won't tell you how beautiful it is here in Northern Cal with the fog winding through the vineyards, the Russian River sparkling like diamonds in the sunlight, the snowcapped Sierra in the distance like a beacon of...well, stay warm everyone.

12. Dear Boss.
Asthmaticeog cannot come to work today because he didn't clean his room.

Thank you.

Asthmaticeog's mom.

17. I dig my car.
It's only been out of the garage once in the past 11 weeks.

I've been driving Mrs. XNASA's cute ute this winter since she had her accident and is unable to drive. It has heated leather. I've been pampering my nice warm ass.

But I don't have to dig my car out. It's not going anywhere for a while.

Too much blowing and drifting.
