Snow whine
What the hell is wrong with Vancouverites? It snowed a whopping 2.5 centimeters overnight and you are whining and complaining that you simply cannot make it into the office; what gives? If you just want to stay home and watch the Food Channel all day, then call in sick, don't use this dusting of snow as an excuse to sit around all day in your pj's and try to justify it to those of who actually made it in. The city buses are still running and I passed several Asian girls tottering around just fine in their 4 inch heels holding onto umbrellas. You people give Canadians a bad name!
