Here's my reply to his questions:
On 1/16/07,
today wasn't too bad. Yesterday wasn't too great though. I drove 25 miles an hour
and my strategy was that as long as I drove on actual ground rather than
bridges, I shouldn't do too badly. and yesterday was my first day at SWA and what kind of impression would that be? I also had a meeting with the business for User Acceptance testing so I was nervous and I wanted it all over with. It was a crazy day.
Anyway, I got all the way to the SWA parking lot and someone told me that
"free" days are rare since the mechanics have to come in to de-ice planes,
we have it good. But still for your safety stay home and work from there if
necessary. I decided to brave it. So there I am. I made it safely. I get out of my Jeep and shuffle
thru the parking lot. Well, my bag fell off my shoulder and I flung it up to
adjust it....and flipped myself onto my butt! By this time, the ice was
melting. I've seen worse in Dallas. Anway, I hear like 3 people from all
over the parking lot asking if I'm okay, I say "Just embarrassed! Thanks!"
My boss told me the same thing happened to her, but she fell onto her laptop
bag and broke a rib!
So the lesson is that you're not done when you park the car and whatever you do, don't try to reshift your bags on your shoulder when walking on ice!
