Go in and work anyway. Half for the point, half because getting home again would suck anyway.

I work for a large company, and when they call a day off, it's a major expense, so they seldom do it. One time we had a hurricane coming through, and on the way to work, I spun around in a water filled intersection. I thought it's crazy to go into work in this weather, turning around to go home. The ones that did go in, got sent home at noon and there was a huge traffic jam of people trying to get out of the one exit.

I didn't go to work yesterday, because I didn't feel like it.
I stayed home and worked with power tools all day. Made a trolley for my horizontal band saw. It was a very good day. |

I feel your pain. Right before Hurricane Dolly hit we were told that we had to show up for work. The storm hit the coast right as I was leaving for work so I drove in some pretty shitty weather. When I got to work they told us that anyone who couldn't make received 8 hours admin leave but since we were already there, we had to stay.

I got one better:
Ice storm last December. Car frozen shut. Boss says I have to come in anyway. I break one lock (thankfully the passenger side) trying to get the car open. Heating the key with a lighter opens the other door. 5 mins. down the road, cell rings, boss changed his mind.

Snow storms, ice storms, first day of deep freezes, I always stay home. It's not so much that I can't make it in but usually so many others call off and there's more to do because the company is not even close to prepared for it. I basically learned the hard way not to be the chump that shows up and gets stuck with all the bullshit when everyone who stayed home got a pass for it.

As I was considered essential personnel (prison) I knew I had to be at work as it was a condition of employment. Of course there were those that bailed on their responsibility but they paid for it later on down the road with crappy details or were forced in to work night shift on their days off while the reliable employees were not bothered.

It's always interesting to me to see how different regions handle weather conditions. Hell, that sounds like an average winter day to us up here in the frozen tundra.
My boss would say if the roads are open, we're working. If they are closed, come in when they open. On the other hand everybody around here shits a little green worm if there is even a funnel cloud in the region. Hope your day improves and you get home safe.

I left home at 6:30 for work. At 8:30 I got off the highway, circled back on the interchange and 20 minutes later was at home. 2 hours stuck between interchanges. I have done some phone calls and emails from here and just watching it freeze over - the temp was supposed to rise but I think its colder now than it was this morning.

I got an email to stay at home and work if I wanted, and I did do that, but I would rather be playing in my Subaru with the snow. That being said, PS3 + Netflicks FTW.
Now if I get a phone call from meals on wheels, which means non of their normal drivers could get out, then I will go out and have fun in the snow :) |
