I have to get the same job. Night after night, this big yellow (HRM?) snowplow/salt truck sits with its lights turned off at the bottom of Canal Street while the driver snoozes in his warm cab.
I don’t have a problem with someone taking a break, but shouldn’t you be out salting intersections or something instead of sleeping for three hours like you’ve been doing this Friday morning? —Gotta Dig Out My Camera Next Time

yeah but see, the weather channel called for a big blow from the states, and also a strong snow storm. everytime i hear that we are gonna get hit again, i cringe. because i know, that we will either get very little, or there will be power outages. why cringe,because i have a massive ammount of data on my servers and to lose any, well fuck. i have 5 going her at once and even the smallest burp in service can fuck things up, even with emergency backup systems and power supplies installed. these suckers here are even sensitive to a sneeze.but to buddy again, let him sleep, at least he’s not waking people up, scraping his blade on bare road surfaces.
Snow, what snow? There was a slow on the 102 this morning and the roads were clear and dry! WTF!
