Woke up to 25F and snow/slush/ice covered streets. An icy snow was falling so I decided to work from home. Went to login to the VPN host and the host wasn't responding. Tried several times again, called the IT guy and left a message, tried some more, then decided to go to the office where I might have better luck. I have to VPN in at the office too, but somehow it made sense in my uncaffeinated state.

Got dressed, grabbed the mtb and took off. Slipped and slid all the way to work with cars all around me. The snow/slush/ice put up a lot of resistance and I never got out of 2nd gear. Got to the office, almost slipped a few times walking into the building because of the ice and tried logging into the VPN from my desk. Still no go. Looks like I'll be on the phone w/ IT trying to get this straightened out the rest of the day.
