The Joy of Snow

And lo, snow did fall across London Town, and the workers did leave the office lest their trains should get stuck in the dusting!

In an office of 150 people we were down to five, the poor miserable five who could reasonably be expected to walk home and therefore had no justifiable reason to leave early. I was feeling somewhat disgruntled by this, jealous even. I silently hoped these people would get stuck on trains overnight and glowered at them as they wrapped their scarves around their necks while heading to the lifts.
