I woke up this morning to see a HUGE 1mm of slush on the road
So came to work and due to the roads not only being totally safe but totally empty I got here in record time. Its now half an hour past actual starting time and I'm the only the only fucker here. Am I an idiot for coming in or are they just a bunch of pansy's.
