A friend of mine spent much of Saturday doing mandatory overtime. He's a computer programmer, but they required him and his coworkers to shovel the roof. Needless to say, clearing 100K square foot of roof with a handful of people with shovels and sleds was a joke.

My son's indoor soccer was cancelled on Sunday. That's when my HS age son told me that they haven't been allowed in the gym, small theater, or a couple of classrooms since Thursday.

Just let it decay until it collapses, blame it on "the weather" and then beg the next higher level of government for money. Its the MA Way!
