Winter Ass-Kicking

You guessed it! Winter kicked my little Matrix's ass today :(

We had a huge down-pour of snow over the weekend in GP that apparently was not ploughed at at ALL for the last few days. I tried to leave for work to day but my poor winter-tire-less matrix did not go very far before getting stuck. The first gentleman that helped me out while he was shovelling his driveway told me I "shouldn't be out in a little car like this!", but stubborn me (I get that from my dad), I kept trying.

I got stuck a total of 4 times. FOUR. The final time, I was stuck overtop of a foot high snow pile in the middle of the road... I was even on the street I work on, but with nothing even remotely close to a decent parking spot visible (you know, somewhere that wouldn't leave me permanently stuck in the snow), I eventually gave up and headed home.

I guiltily called into work and they told me to stay home (special leave day or something). I guess that means no reports to write today! I mean...oh, too bad... I'll have to stay home with the puppy and watch tv, and read, and write in my blog. sad times.
