Without a flake of snow they managed to lose all signals in the local area and so I came home early and had to make a series of tactical rail journeys. I wasn't going to get caught on the one train they had going out that three or four times the number of passengers that would normally be carried were meant to get on.
Mission accomplished and I managed to take the Underground and another two trains and got home safely before the snow - which has just started - prepares to dump up to a foot on us. The train company were going to go onto emergency timetabling tomorrow come what may and frankly I can do without living like a sardine, it just starts my claustrophobia off again and I get pretty panicky these days in situations like that. I can keep it under control in normal circumstances but not when they pack us into really hot overcrowded trains.
It beggars belief that they want us to try and make it into work tomorrow. It is in fact crazy as why spend two or three hours each way when I could get up and start work in my office here and deliver perhaps three hours or more work on top of my working day. I despair that these old fashioned views still exist. They still have a lot to learn. I'd rather not get paid and get on with something else if they don't like it.
I'm just waiting for A to get back in she is walking back from the local pub so shouldn't be too long. The weather has turned though and so I'll just wait up and make sure she is safely in before I turn in myself.
They say this is going to be the worst snow for 30 years. If so - I remember that week well as we were stuck in our old house and couldn't get into work for a week!
