Now of course I am no weather person and only have the absolute loosest grasp on how weather and the related physics works, but this does not actually seem possible to go from a high during the day of 29 and then slowly increase DURING THE NIGHT up to 40

But then of course the weather app today said it was sunny all day here in Eugene and I can confirm that both north and south of the university, it was very much not (except for a very lovely pre-sunset alpenglow kind of thing). So. The weather app is an idiot and not to be trusted in any case.

#anyway the university is closed tomorrow and god bless the union they got us inclement weather pay #and I just have to note that it’s fucking psychotic that paid time during a university closure is something that had to be bargained for #but there’s all kinds of things I’m learning as a newly hourly employee instead of a fancy salaried one #and I’ve decided that while it’s too icy and dangerous to drive I will at most be working from home #(capitalism does not get my life)#and if the university is closed then I am also closed EVEN IF I can work from home #because. are you fucking joking #I refuse to be the last generation without snow days just because we can work remotely #also let’s be real a power outage is a very real possibility IN A FUCKING ICE STORM #so I also think it’s logistically problematic to have the automatic expectation that your employees should work from home #when the workplace is closed due to inclement weather #ANYWAY!!!#good night I am going to go bother the cat sleeping in my bed now
