There are a lot of lazy people but there are just as many who try and fail.

I disagree I think that there are a lot less people who actually make a concerted effort to get to work than there are lazy people who use a bit of snow as an excuse to take a day off.
 
in all honesty tomorrow is going to be worse on minor roads as we are due some severe sub zero temps tonight, -4 to -8 air temp (even colder at ground level) its gonna be fun, fun, fun tomorrow lol

wish I still had my cross country skiing gear altho that was a few years ago, doubt my aging bones could hack it now :)
 
bit of a dilemma of what i do tomorrow. i can walk to work if i have to. (3 mile walk) but if i get there to find out we are shut again i wont be happy.

We are in the same country, some have heavy snow and bad conditions. The ones with a few inches use it as an excuse for not going to work.

Everybody yes?

You can say with certaintanty that everyone with a few cm's or inches WILL use it for an excuse?

I'd love some of the omniscient powers that are displayed in here..

:rolleyes: (omg the smiley looks sooo bad bald!!)

keep them coming
 
Well after get stuck in work (AGAIN) and it taking me over 2 hours to get home (normally 30 mins), I won't be going to my normal office tonight. However I have already made arrangements to go work out of a different office so I can do the job I am paid to do.

One of the things about working for a blue lights organisation is that you can't just decide to not go to work. If I don't turn up, then there will be literally 10 people who can't login to a computer (:p). Its more about me being there to make sure that should anything major fallover, we can react and try to get the systems back online as quick as possible.
 
Haha, I decided not to go to work today cos of the snow and logged in from home, turns out of an office of around 60 people I was the only one not there .....ooops.
 
Well work were good enough to give me the option to take a days leave or give me temp remote access to dial into work from home so I did the latter.

Could get used to this WFH lark; working with music in the background all relaxed and getting stuff done. Awesome :)
 
Haha, got to work normally, then spent the entire morning with people at home telling me the snow was awful and the conditions are bad, so collected some work together in a suitcase (2 days worth) and came home to work from the comfort of my house.

And find the snow isn't that bad and everyone around is being a tad melodramatic, however, I have stuff to work at from home so that's what I'm gonna do for the next couple of days!!! :D
