Called at 0600. District 2 and 3 are closed, so me and the boy are off!
I might be off. Boss is supposed to call at 7. Depends on weather in Cheyenne.
Days like this are the least likely days for me to be off. Fortunately, I am working in Ft. Lupton today which is only about 20 miles from my house.
2 hour delay for fed workers, but I have the option for unscheduled leave. [Coffee]
I will be out installing/repairing phone lines and DSL.
I was in at 6. It's going to take an epic storm to justify not going into work for me.
I don't see even a 1/4" here in Fort Collins.
the youngins are. I unfortunately am not.
I have to work out side all day. Of course most of the people that are off work inside?
No snow at all in Colorado Springs... Just raging 40+ mph sustained winds.[pileoshit]
Snow day for our company, would have worked today cause we don't get paid days off.
For you guys that have the day off, how much snow did you actually get?
We serve the homeless population so we dont get snow says.
Snow day here.....[Ban3]About 1 inch, pathetic I know. But hey, I don't make the calls.
Blizzard? Where?
I'm at work.
Sent from my tactical android.
I'm off, but I'm always off on Tuesdays. Kind of a wussy storm to cancel school.
Nope. I'm already in to work. Business as usual. It's supposed to be a quiet week though.
Work cancelled... Yeah right. [LOL]
When I was a kid, school was never cancelled until after it was OBVIOUS that you couldn't get to school. These days, if a weatherman says it might snow tomorrow, school gets cancelled. We live in Colo. for cripes sake, get out of bed and get your butts to school.
I lived in the country when I grew up. If the school bus couldn't get to us, dad would load us in the 4x4 pick-up and haul our sorry butts to school. I never missed a day.
I'm off. Doesn't do me any fucking good because the schools down here are all canceled due to the extreme, murderous, storm-of-a-century holocaust we're having. (0.5 inches and counting so far).
My base is closed. No pay. I could have gone in anyway but was concerned if the weather actually turns bad & the gates got locked down.
Road conditions are currently "green".
Since I own my own business, every day is a work day. However, celebrating the "spring" weather by leaving in a few minutes to ventilate some zombie paper at Trigger Time! [UZI]
You guys just aren't being very sensitive to all of the people who moved here from California an Texas.
Any snow at all should shut everything down for a minimum of a day.
It wouldn't be fair if they had to drive in this stuff like the natives.
No rest for the hvac industry. Waiting for this customers appointment time to arrive.
WTF is going on in our state? I couldn't believe they started cancelling schools last night. This is just lolwtf funny. Even watching the news this morning and they were like "OMG How are the roads out there!" As you can see 3 clear lanes on the highway behind the reporter and traffic moving right along. Maybe their prediction of a second wave of "blizzard" will happen later and I'll stand corrected but as of right now, this is a light dusting.
I'm working
My daughter has no school today. Ooooh snow!. What ever. My boss made me come into work.
I will say the roads are probably the worst condition of any other storm this year. Orchard between Buckley and Parker was quite literally a solid sheet of ice. I eased on the brakes at one point and I swear I actually sped up. And went sideways.
Make hay when the sun shines and right now the sun ain't shining.
The more you talk about your boss, the more unpleasant that they seem. You should quit with no notice!Quote:

Not off but I have the option of working from home so have decided to avoid the high winds and limited visibility. I have some actual papers and briefings to work on so it's legitimate -- other than the time I spend surfing through ar-15.co while I have writer's block.
Just started snowing here
OFF BABY!
For what it's worth, the amount of snow here in my neck of C Springs is marginal at best -- just a light dusting. I can live with the 200-300 ft visibility but the high winds are the big issue. I've been seeing/hearing 15+ mph near-constant winds and gusts exceeding 30 mph since late last night. I'd be on the road right now if there was anything to be gained by my doing so but I do think discretion is the better part of valor today and support the decisions today to close as many schools as they have.
Superheros can't take the day off. He's wearing a read foam crown and a cape made out of a towel.
It's not even snowing anymore.
Work for myself and work out of my house. No day off for me.
Good day to hang out @ Bambu

closed my base at 10, kicked us out by 11. forced to make up the hours or use vacation time or no pay. ...and I'm outta beer.
What snow? And we are working.
