Rant; Winter 2013/14

[StL Dan]

It's down to just me and my boss at work...the last two of a staff of 15. #kcsnowstorm

There are a bunch of people leaving work already here across from Chaifetz Arena. Some left before the first flake even fell. As soon as it started a ton of people decided to get out of here. I just want to smack them all. I'll be here until the normal time and my trip home won't be any different than normal.

Of course I'm taking public transportation home and snow won't slow down the train. And the bus route that I take won't be a problem either. And in the end, even if there is traffic or an accident, it isn't my vehicle and I can just sit there and read, play games, watch a movie or whatever on my tablet and not get stressed out at all.

I woke up at 7 this morning and there wasn't any snow at all. I was pretty shocked when I called work and the building was already closed. This is my fourth winter there and we've only closed 2 or 3 times before. In December a coworker died in a wreck trying to get to work, so maybe we're shooting for a death free 2014. About 2-3 inches on the ground so far and still snowing hard, supposed to keep snowing through the night. Two days off would be amazing.

LOL...I hear you.

My commute home will be the same at 430 as it would be if I left right now. So, why burn vacation time?

I've got nothing to do at home until the Blues and Tigers games come on TV.

It depends what kind of vehicle you drive. There's a huge difference between 1-2 inches and 4-5 in my car.

OTOH, the roads will have been driven on and plowed all afternoon. They'll probably be in even better shape in a few hours.

This. When I was driving to work every day I would always stay a little later and never have problems. The roads might not be perfect but there had been work done to them and everyone else left early so there was no traffic.

It also kills me that every is saying the need to leave and then I just went outside for a smoke break and the landscaping guys are out there blowing leaves off of the pathways. Seriously. That is a work ethic that very few of the people I work with have... and of course I say that as I am on GRB and not being productive at the moment.

We are being told we can work at home tomorrow because we have a real snowstorm coming unlike St. Louis.

[Freed Roger]

Yeah, people here get whipped into a frenzy, - so much that many can't make a rational adult decision on whether its a good idea for them to go out or not. Some of the ladies in the office fret and fuss over this so much - I wish they'd just stay home so we didn't have to hear it. I get so much work done on snow days.

And the chest beating continues...

Me old newspaper boy. Me and Bud Grant know snow.

7 or 8 inches on the ground, still snowing hard. It hasn't let up enough to even attempt shoveling.
