A good reason for missing work

So this is about a week old now, but I'm slow up updating. Last Friday, I had coincidentally planned on being "sick" from work and making up my hours later because a good friend was leaving for China the next day and wanted to hang out. It happened to be a very windy night the night before and a very windy day, and when I woke up in the morning I found this



In case you can't tell, that is a TREE that fell on our house. Well technically not on, the only part of the house it actually hit was some powerlines, its an old building and ours are above ground. Its a duplex complex with that big shared driveway, and the tree actually was the perfect size to fit right in the driveway. Unfortunately this means it was also the perfect size to block my car in. So, I was stuck. Needless to say work did not care I could not make it when I called and said a tree fell on us. I was also way, way late for hanging out with my friend. But at least I didn't have to fake sick, haha.
