I stay at home

Today I did not go to work. I am scared to drive on icing roads. I call my supervisor and let her know that I am not coming to work today. Probably it will not be a problem because most of schools in Springfield are closed. According to my boss, when schools are closed we are not absent from work. Some people would say in that case, “What is the big deal? It’s just a little bit of rain?” In my opinion, I do not want to risk my life and eventually to damage my car. I rather loose fifty bucks and stay safe at home, instead of going to work and be a “hero” for my boss.
