OFFICE CLOSED.

ON WALKING TO THE OFFICE THROUGH SNOW

I was unaware
the office
was closed
& waded in

through the snow,
in up to my knees
in some places
(I realize my legs

are shorter
than most.)
Now working
on emergency cover.  

the office was closed
to the public,
but there was still
an expectancy

for locals
to make it in
to man the phones
in case of emergencies

& considering
that people
from other offices
made it in,

questions would
have been asked
if I hadn't come in.
The plus side is

I get a day off
in flexi,
got to go
home early

& they bought
about 20 pizzas
to share amongst those
who made it in.
