Plan Now for Office Snowstorm

I live in Minnesota, so it is just common sense to have a basic plan of what to do in a snow emergency. For instance, what would you do if you got stuck at work and the snow was too deep or the roads were impassable? A little planning now could prevent disaster!

It is good to make sure that you can sleep at your desk (or wherever your workspace is). I suggest practicing sleeping at work at least twice a week to be prepared. There is also the issue of food. If you happened to be stuck at work for a long period of time, it is possible that your food sources (i.e. the crackers in your desk drawer, etc.) could run out. That could spell disaster!

I suggest that you scout out your coworkers ahead of time--to see who may be suitable to eat if things really became desperate. When choosing a coworker to eat, I suggest not picking anyone too old. They will unfortunately, be tough--even though they may be less useful on the job than a younger, stronger coworker. It might seem logical then to pick the youngest; but remember, it may be good to have someone around who is less experienced, and strong--if you need to convince someone else to shovel your way out. A good choice is the office (or workplace) "unpleasant" person. This is the person who is mean and nasty--who no one will miss if they become dinner. Often times this might be your boss.

So remember, a little planning ahead of time could make for a much more enjoyable disaster--should the unfortunate event ever happen.

That is why I keep an array of spices in my drawer. Cannibalism may be barbaric but it should still be tasty!
