Priorities

So we were in for a messy, hellasnowy commute this morning, according to the ol' reports we like to cite. So we woke up at 4:25 this morning thinking it was 6:45 and we scampered to the window to see the winter wonderland.

Nothing.

So we went back to bed. Imus woke us up at 6:45. Again with the window. Again with the nothing.

As we ironed this morning, we realized we were smirking. We were smirking because we looked out the window, saw that there wasn't any white stuff (points to the person who can answer how we feel about the term "white stuff"), and went about our business.

We were smirking because about 98 percent of the people we work with on a daily basis freaked out this morning because it didn't snow. These same people, who tend to not work when they work, were all about the snow planning yesterday. Charts. Graphs. Emergency plans.

Let's make sure to remind everyone on the phone chain who their people are and what they need to say and when. You know, that sort of thing.

So these same people now have to trudge to work, just as all of you do. We love it and we can't wait to say HAPPY THURSDAY to everyone, loud and chippy.

So we say yay to thee, mother nature.

"White stuff" is a phrase ordinarily spoken by dimwitted on-air types who think it's cute (though not as cute as their reflection in the mirror...) and a way not to repeat the word "snow," which would be, somehow, more sinful than their incessant banter.

Correct, jim with a mysterious lowercase j. Now, then. Looks like we've gone and jinxed ourselves because the commute home will be, in a word, ass.

How do you have time to write and file at 6:55 if you wake up at 6:45? Shady.

Our brain is quick like that.

And when it says "posted," it means when the actual file was opened. We were finished by at least 6:59, because our brain is quick like that. It's cool like dat. We're cool like dat.

um, wow... you people got hella offended. It's just snow. It melts. New Jersey's pretty good at dealing with the shite stuff. That was not a typo. I think on air personalities should start using that term instead. And Old Man Snap... you always make my day.
