The Weather outside is frightful
So, I have missed the last two days of work due to the winter storm that has hit the Portland area. I cleaned the ice off my car today. There was a layer of ice an inch thick on top of the powdery snow that was already there. Anyway, missing two days of work may sound all well and good, but as an attorney, I am measured by my hours. I just missed out on 16 hours of work that I am going to have to make up later. It was like a vacation that was forced upon me that I didn't want at a time I didn't want with nothing to do. Gah. Sucks. You work so hard to get to where you'd hope you wouldn't have to work so hard, but now you have to work harder.

Life, as they say, is not always fair.
