This Just In: 2 Hour Delay & A Death in the "Fantastic Four" Family!

2 Hour Delay! w00t!

What better way to start the work day than with a text from your co-worker stating that there has been a 2 hour delay. So instead of waking up early and trying to make it to work between 8:00-8:30a.m., you now get to come in for 10:00a.m. What's that you say? It's only an hour and a half of a difference? Well shame on you good sir for not taking into account those extra minutes of happiness.

For you see, I made good use of that time this morning. On top of that, I still woke up at my usual 6:30-7:00a.m., which allowed me to really enjoy the morning. I woke up, actually had breakfast, read some educational books (OK, it was comics; happy?!), read some Torah (yes, I am quite scholarly), and actually woke up and not feel groggy. I got to enjoy the sky turn brighter, the sun come out, and watch all the plows hard at work trying to clean up my development. But that wasn't even the best part.

The best part was driving to work in less traffic than normal and working a little shorter than the other days of the week. Because if you remember your time as a student, a 2 hour delay always made the day go by quicker. Classes were shorter and everything just seemed to speed up. Don't ask me why this is because I'm not a physicist, but I am a former student. Before I even knew it, I started writing this blog at 1:05p.m.. IT WAS JUST 10:00A.M. FOR GOSH SAKES!!!

But the most important thing is that you just feel better. I'm not sure why our brains work the way they do, but I do know that it's always a much better feeling coming in later to work and still leaving at the same time.

NOT #5!!!!! (inside joke people, c'mon!)

Before I end this post for today, I would like to take a moment in all seriousness and pay respects to a recently departed Fantastic Four member. For those who follow this family's adventures, you know by now that one of their own has met his unfortunate end. So as you're enjoying your 2 hour delay (or snow day), please remember the hard work that the Fantastic Four have done for the Marvel Universe and raise a glass in honor.

Now if you'll *sniff* excuse me, I have to get back to work.

R.I.P. Fantastic Four Member #5 ;)
