The shuffling of the snow

flexagonMy hapless and Chinese coworker (unrelated characteristics!) wrote in last Monday to say he would be in late because he'd be shuffling snow.
How cute. I guess he thinks you shuffle with a shovel. And the funny thing is, he's not far from the truth. :)
Tonight on the way home I saw an old lady shuffling her walkway all alone, so when I got home I took our shovel and went back. She had gone back inside after finishing her walkway, so she didn't see me shuffling her sidewalk. This is good, because I would have hated to explain myself. I hardly ever do things like that! I won't be doing it again until I have thicker gloves, either--my hands got totally numb out there, whine, complain. But it's fun to think of her looking outside tomorrow morning and going "Whaaaaa?".
*goes back to being warm and selfish*
