pleasant surprises of the icy kind

When you're both fully expecting and entirely prepared to go out in the bitterly cold (-30 C, before the wind chill factors in) weather, and then get a text from your boss, as in the big boss, who's the one who outlined for you that if the metro bus system closes, so does the company, saying there are two days of company closure coming due to weather.

I'm surprised, even now, but I'm not objecting! I was fully ready to go out in the ick, though I wouldn't have been happy about it - who would? but will absolutely take the fact that I don't have to. As I texted my direct boss when she confirmed I'd gotten the companywide message: Stay warm, stay safe. I'm going back to bed!

And so I did. Only to have Challenger-related nightmares... :(
