So we got about five inches of snow last night through this morning, and the roads are a mess. Some of the side roads I took this morning were actually clearer than the main roads. To top of it, there’s an ice storm on the way.
And what does the federal government do about it?
Liberal leave. :angry:
What the heck is the purpose of liberal leave? Gee, thanks for letting me be off by taking my own hard-earned vacation. Idiots. I can call in sick if I really need to be off that badly, and I don’t need your stupid permission to do it.
There are a ton of accidents this morning and hardly anyone has shown up to work. I bet the guy who makes the decisions on liberal leave is sitting at home right now curled up in bed. I just knew last night, as I watched the snow start to pile up, that it would be just bad enough to shovel a ton and cause all sorts of havoc on the roads but not to close the government.
I would wager that it costs more to run all of the cleanup crews and accident patrols, then to give everyone the day off. One of these days, someone is going to die trying to get to work because they are out of “liberal leave”, and the family will sue the government.
I’m probably going to have to go home early at some point, unless I like digging through an inch of ice just to get into my car, not to mention the utter delight it is to hydroplane your way home. I’ll be damned if I’ll take any leave though. 🙂
