Eventually the snow will melt. And then you'll be able to register for some summer courses at a local J.C., and soon enough you will see that light at the end of that tunnel, called a diploma!
It's never too late to change your career. I would suggest you use this down time in the economy to persue that goal. It'll be another year or three before we get rolling again economically. I see a tassel in your future.
Need further education have a worthless BA in Political Science with minors in American History and Philosophy/Religion. Yeah, I really thought that one through 20 years ago when starting college. I am hoping to go back to school at some point soon and work on an MBA or other Masters. Talk about stupid career choices, been in food service on and off for 20 plus years and it sucks. That is what I get for not seeking out advise from other experts and thinking that just getting a college degree in something would prove worthwhile.
I am 37 years old and often feel like I am 57. I have spent 20 years working 75 plus hour weeks commuting 2 - 4 hours per day on top of that to and from work and all I can say is to this point, I have really made some poor career choices but have nobody to blame but myself.
Being a food service provider in a hospital in Baltimore, this has been not fun to say the least. I was supposed to be off on Friday worked from 3:00 pm - Midnight and then 5:00 am Saturday until 9:00 pm and back in again today at 5:00 am and I am hoping, hoping to get out by 6:00 pm tonight.
I have lived on the east coast all my life in Southcentral PA and I have never seen anything like the sheer stupidity of my staff. Everyone was told on Wednesday to expect the worst and get the hell into work and I was down 22 people on Saturday morning when I walked in the door. It was a complete nightmare and has not stopped since until about 1 hour ago. Trying to get caught up and get the hell home.
I repetedly ask myself why I was stupid enough that I did not stay in school and have now cursed myself to this miserable existence.
Hang in there Brett.

Looking at the pictures you are posting makes me wonder how you do it. 65 degrees in Hawaii is a cold day!! But looking at all that snow, how do you people function.... the warmest things I own are a pair of jeans and a long sleeve shirt. Good luck to all that are being cursed with snow!!
I can't understand what that must do to your commerce. Business must come to a crawl with the landscape buried in white like that?? Man, what a winter, I feel for you all. It gets cold here in Vegas, but rarely do we see any snow.
Geoff - Good community service! Probably a lot with no power where they live.
We have no power in our neighborhood so for us and the few homes with generators, it is a ghost town so I know a few of our neighbors went to hotels.
Hope you get home soon and get some sleep!

Hey Scott,
I am in the same boat as you here in California. I obtain from complaining when its cold here especially since many coworkers were raised back east. One cool thing when it rains here that means 1.5 hours away for snowboarding when you want it.
At my old company we had some tech people working on third party application visit us from Canada. After seeing how informal our attire was, some in jeans and sweaters, you know what the Canadians wore the rest of the week in abnormal 55 degree weather. Shorts and polo shirts.
