Oh man.
I arrived from place where I work, and almost right after I arrived, I bathed. I was pretty dirty from working two shifts without bathing.
Why, you say?
Well... let me tell you why...
I got up, got dressed for work and went to work at 6 AM. That's usual for me, since I work at 7 am.
The weather were quiet, and the drive to work was uneventful.
At 9 AM it begins to rain, and all windows on one side gets wet, as usual since that side always gets lots of wind. But short time later, approx 10 AM, I glance at that windows and what do I see? A fancy wavy windows! I was kind of baffled. I went over and discovered that the rain covered it with water and it froze! That was when I found out that there's really bad ice rain storm at the city I'm working at.
At 3 PM I go to my car and confirmed the bad news. My car were liberally covered with ice! It's unbreakable. If I managed to free my car, I can't go anywhere anyway. The ice is EVERYWHERE! It's like someone made an ice sculpture out of place I work at.
Oh man. I got nothing to do till 7 am in morning. That's my next work shift. And it's 3 PM!
There was not a lot of things to do, but I went to historic computer area and played with an ancient computer. OH my mistake it's not a historic computer area. It's just old and crappy computer. In least it had windows 98 so it had free-cell.
Anyway after 2 hours or so, I went to my car again, to get my water bottles so I could have something to drink. It was HARD work chipping off enough ice to make trunk open. It was thirsty work.
Anyway, when I got the bottles, I saw a book I had forgotten and left in my car trunk. Yes! Something to do! 
Luckily, the place I work at is an assisted living apartment, so they had plenty of unused apartments. I took one, and got some sheets and blankets. Very slim pickings there, I have choice of a blanket that's 4' X 4' or a blanket ( or a scurf? ) that's 2 feet wide and 6 feet long. I simply grabbed both and used the 2 ft wide one to use as pillow, since they don't have any. The 4'X4' one was too small, so I used sheet to cover my legs and used that blanket for my torso. It sucked. I don't like sleeping anywhere but on my own bed, but I had to, or I would have lots of 'fun' trying to work while dead tired.
Well. The morning looked good, since ice outside was starting to melt without sun. After I finished work, the ice were kind of melted, so the roads were largely safe. My car still had lot of ice, however, so I had to clear front window ice, back window, side window, and went home. The parking lot were very icy, but I went dead slow to make sure no slippage happened.
Fun experience indeed.
I hope that never happens again.
