EEP, it sucks that your day was so bad yesterday and that your boss sucks. We had to dig the husband's car out yesterday too because it was frozen shut. The sucky part was he had the day off work, but we had to dig his car out to get to mine that was in the garage...
Want to hear something weird about ice in Chicago? My understanding of the law is that if you shovel all the snow off your driveway/sidewalk and salt it and all that (we're talking residence here) and then someone falls on it anyway, they can sue you for not taking better precautions. So, what about old people who can't shovel or what if you're out of town when it snows and you haven't come home yet or something? Well, due to that little loophole, you can't be sued if you do nothing. If you don't shovel or salt it, you're not liable. WTF?
