Snow Job

We've all been snowed. Remember that friend who promised to take you to lunch if you'd look after her brood for the weekend? Or the car salesman who said the expensive one was owned by an old lady who drove it only to church on Sundays? Well, real snow, like the other kind, is just that, a pile of white that soon melts and there it is, the same old same old dirt underneath. In the sales pitch world, the snow job is a pile of little white lies that covers everything. You are enchanted. Then there is the romance snow job where the pitch is so honed that you believe every LWL until you are up to the neck in it. Well, you know what I mean.  So, how to deal with snow jobbers? Number one, stay cool. That shouldn't be a problem with snow. Don't let the LWL pile up too high. Dig out the truth. Or go along with it and out LWL the perp. It can work both ways, darlin'. Three, when the melt down happens, get out fast. If you don't you'll drown and maybe even like it! Crawl out of the igloo. You'll feel the bite at first but persevere, Spring can't help itself. It's always on the way.
