C'mon Mother Nature, give me a freaking break!

Yes I'm a winter person and I like the snow, but I need more than 15 hours a week to make rent and keep myself in food!
I work at the Calgary zoo, and my shifts keep getting cut short due to the 6 inches of snow we've got (and are still getting).

no real point to this post, just ranting.


Go flames...I guess

Well in Northern Alberta it is sunny and 12 C. But I did here that the south was getting bad weather and with your post I guess they were right. Sit tight for the next heat wave. I'm sure it will be along soon.

what do you do at the zoo? surely animals need looking after all the time, not just when the weather is good :s

I could only wish it was too hot here, Lady. It's not that cold which makes it worse, it's all slushy.

From what I can gather, spydar lives in Calgary, where I live too. Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on your choice of pro sports teams. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I work at the food kioks all over the place, and most people don't want ice cream when it's snowing.

Beautiful here on the West Coast. The mountains still have some snow on them, the ocean is great and it's a comfortable 21 Celsuis.

Why does a man climb a mountain...becasue it's there. Why does it snow in Calgary...because it's there!

damn mountains...we get freaky weather cause of em, shoulda just gone back up north, at least there it's predictable.
but the snows going now, and it's supposed to be alright for the rest of the week, so maybe I'll actually get some hours and be able to feed myself.
