Three Glorious Words-


TWO HOUR DELAY! That is what the great minds of Union County have come up with for these "snowy mornings." A two hour delay means just that, school starts exactly 2 hours later than normal. However, dismissal time remains the same. All the loveliness of sleeping in and having a very short work day without a pesky "make up day" to hang over our heads. Glorious. Please no one go and tell the dear Charlotteans that snow that doesn't last til 10 am or even cover all of your front yard is insignificant. They find it highly alarming and feel the need to close businesses all over town- including the court house. The other fabulous thing about the Union County system is the little automated lady that calls your house at 5:30am to let you know about the delay. You don't even have to turn on the TV. I certainly don't love everything about UCPS but this "snow" thing rocks!

Man I thought that 2 hour thing messed up my full free day off--but I guess that is because us business majors don't really have make up days---WELL I guess we do--it is called SUMMER

We always seem to operate on a 2 hour delay, I'm glad the rest of the world is recognizing the beauty of such a thing!
