I work at an education center, and the guy that runs this joint (not the supervisor of the school reps, just the ed ctr) is the Educational Services Officer. ESO. Road conditions in Stuttgart are bad this morning, and right now we're sitting at RED, which means roads are dangerous (but not that much or very little black ice). When they're red and it's snowing this hard, the ESO gets to call whether or not the center closes and we go home early or if we stay but cancel classes.

And our lovely ESO just went home without telling any of us.

Technically speaking, if our ESO isn't here, the education center can't be open.

Hills around the area are covered with snow.

We aren't supposed to be here.

I think you know where I'm going with this.
