Puffs of fluffy snow are swirling around outside my window. It makes me think of the opposite of the black dirt mites from "Tonari no Totoro"; by opposite, I mean the colour, obviously. I was happy to see very few people this morning, but was ticked off that I had to pay $3 to use a different bank machine because the college I usually go to to use my bank machine was closed. UBC is also closed because of a campus-wide power outage; I'm sort of hoping it stays closed tomorrow so I can catch up with my homework and not have to go to class.
Vancouver is hilarious when it comes to snow. People called in sick today because they didn't want to ride the bus. One said she waited 20 minutes for a bus and they were all full, so she went back home for the day. It isn't bad at all out there. The sidewalk at work has been salted and it's cold enough that the slush is almost crunchy. I am not empathetic to those who complain about how hard it was to get in today. Seriously, there's barely any snow.
I'm more concerned with robots. It's days like this that really put the whole operation in jeopardy. They're waiting for us to show weakness, and letting snow stop you is an obvious sign of weakness.
