ReplyDeleteNotice that the winter storm warning says "travel only in an emergency". Employers need to read that and not expect employees to risk their lives.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait!!!! I love a snow day! All the family sticks around the home front and enjoys the day.
ReplyDeleteTo 12:09 I wish that they would read that. Especially when the State Troopers tell you to stay off the roads. I am considered essential staff and if the building is open, I have to go in no matter what. It's all about the money.
ReplyDeleteIf it gets that bad and my boss wants me to come to work, he'll have to pick me up in his 4 wheel drive and take me home later! I'm off Tuesday but that means I have to get what I need from the store today. I have bread, eggs, coffee and toilet paper, but I don't plan on even leaving the house tomorrow, so I need a few things. Get my few things and the self check out and I'll be gone. Zoom, zoom, zoom!
