We must have had a storm last night. It’s hard to believe I could have slept through it, but when I tried to go to work this morning, the road was closed. There’s probably a tree down. There were high winds yesterday, and if a storm did come through last night, it wouldn’t surprise me if it brought down trees. The ground being pretty thoroughly soaked doesn’t help, either. If you’ve ever seen an uprooted tree, you will have noticed that the root system is surprisingly shallow. It’s a wonder they stay up at all. When the ground gets soft, it doesn’t take much wind to topple them.
So, here I sit, contemplating whether I should call in or send an e-mail. I changed my schedule this summer, so that I have Mondays off. After three days at home, a fourth makes me feel like I’m playing hooky. As a penance, I might have to actually do some work. Or, I could wait awhile and try again. They may have the road cleared by now. Or, I could try going the alternate route, but I’m not familiar with it and would rather not get lost and spend the day wandering around back country roads. I’m pretty sure that staying home is going to win out, but I still have to decide whether to call in or e-mail. It’s far too early in the morning for this sort of decision-making.
Hmmm… Phone or e-mail…? E-mail or phone…?
