Okay, so, here's the thing,
Apr. 16th, 2007 10:15 amThe roads between here and Princeton are actually fucking closed due to flooding, and I'm a little unclear as to how they plan to unflood them between now and 10am.
I suppose I should be glad they're giving us 'til 10am, since the first time I checked, there was a big giant nothing under the Emergency Alerts section.
But, yeah. If they are currently flooded, and it's still raining, how is it magically going to be better such that we can get in by 10am?
Update the first: I am wearing my Harvard shirt just to be contrary right now because apparently, I'm supposed to take my fucking rowboat and/or swim my way tohypothermia work. As predicted, the roads have gotten worse, not better (and seriously, people, if I can figure this out, the frakking Ivy Leaguers shouldn't be having this hard a time). My options for getting to work:
295 to Rt. 1- ramp from 295 to get onto Rt.1 is closed due to flooding.
295 to 206- supposing I could get past what is sure to be stand-still traffic at the ramp closing for the Rt.1 exit, 206 itself is closed at Province Line Rd.
And even supposing I knew which local roads to take, if the major roads are flooded, I am uninclined to believe that the minor ones aren't.
In short, due to road closings, it is actually physically impossible for me to get to work today.
I think I am going to email Robert instead of calling him because if he has the nerve to tell me "It's not that bad" I'm going to fucking curse him out and/or throw my phone out a fucking window. That's what it's come to, folks: phone defenestration.
Update the second: Okay, they've finally come to their senses and given us the whole day. Even though in order to be there by 10am we would have had to leave before they made this announcement. And people more dedicated than I would be stuck on the road right about now. So yeah, they're still assholes, but at least I don't have to use a vacation day.
