Small-town rant

So, apparently a lot of high-traffic blogs are kept by people who either live in major US cities like NYC, LA - okay, mainly NYC and LA. What is with that? So what, I live in Nowheresville, USA (aka Greenville, South Carolina)! We've got things other places don't have, we've got news too. Like....like...like: it's snowing! Yes...that's news. It doesn't happen here very often.

My husband's a highschool teacher and he got to come home early from work because school let out. I have a corporate job and they don't give us snow days. As an employee, I could take that in a few different ways:

1. Corporate America, like everyone else in the world, get's their orders from some headquarters in a major city like, hmm, NYC or LA. And they say, "Suck it up you southern east-coasters. You call that snow?!"

2. Some people wanted to let us go home early, some people didn't, and because there were too many people with opinions, they never got anywhere...or...

3. The company doesn't care if its employees have a major car accident on the way home from work because of inclement weather - because, "We're corporate America, we can just replace you with another humanoid."

Maybe I shouldn't be such a downer on them, but really, that's what it feels like sometimes.

The positive side to all this: My husband is home before I am, so maybe he'll be super relaxed from his extra downtime and want to get cuddly tonight.
