you can’t get to work WHY?

December 21, 2008 | Category: Uncategorized, john

so, in typical i’ll-be-the-boss-who-tries-to-make-you-feel-bad fashion, i decided to run to work today. i’ve always thought about it, but nothing really compelled me to. until this week when seattle enjoyed record snowfall in the city. my 19th year here, and i’ve never seen so much snow fall in a week. and true to human nature, some employees were late or never even showed up for work. now mind you, these are the same people who can leave the house at 6:30 to get first tracks at the local ski resort. (Hmmm, what’s wrong with that picture)

actually, i can’t think of anyone specifically so maybe i’m just making that up. oh, courtney, he stayed home one day. but he doesn’t snowboard so i guess that doesn’t count. so, i guess i just ran to work in the snow to prove to myself i could do it, and for whatever bizarre bragging rights i can pull from it, in my own warped world. [this happens when a man is nearing his 50th birthday].

I did it in 1:40, but i stopped for 10 minutes at Hale’s Ales on Leary Ave, for a delicious Bloody Mary, at the ridiculous price of $4.00 (!) Hale’s is about the mid-way point, so it just seemed to make sense. quick shower at the gym, some rum and hot chocolate, and i’m ready to serve the people. except i just checked a mirror, and i look like shit.
