It's time to talk a little about Astrology

I wrote this months ago, during record cold and snowy winter, but couldn't post. Sorry, some of this will be hard to read without imaginning a blizard-like conditions outside your window.

I am a snake according to Chinese astrology - we are wise and lazy. Usually it means that we do our chores fast and efficient so we could get home and relax. Driving to work through the ice and snow is not an efficient use of my time, it always makes me think of how wrong it is. In the snow people should stay home and allow those few who really have to be there to do their work without us being in their way. All these plow machines, fire and police emergency vehicles need all this space we take on the road standing or sliding slowly. Why are we forced to go to work on days like today? Is it because some rich people don't want to lose a little of their profits? They are losing anyway. Is it because our mayor does not want to pay us when we don't work? He wastes the money anyway.

These days are not productive!!!! We could stay at home and remove the snow off the driveways - that would be productive. People who are cold, tired after 3 hours ride, and thinking how it will take them another 3 hours to get back home can't be productive. I am sitting at work, listening to the sirens of emergency vehicles, and thinking how we all pretend to be working.

On the other hand all those impatient tigers, rats, monkeys and pigs, they would get on the road anyway, even if they do not have to go to work, because they just can't sit at home and wait for a better weather. They would prevent the emergency vehicles to do their work anyway. It would not be enough for them to just dig the snow off their driveway and go back inside to watch TV.

When I think of all of that I realize, my dream of having all snow days work free will stay just a dream for a long time.
