Snow Day?

[cookiegirl]

...Winter Storm Warning For Tonight Through Friday...

Snow may begin by late afternoon. A coating of light snow is possible by the end of the evening commute. The snowfall is expected to become heavier overnight. 2 to 4 inches is possible by sunrise Friday. Another 1 to 2 inches is possible during the day on Friday.

It would be great to all day on Friday to prepare for Jimmy @ Sonar

it would definitely be awesome, but seriously, what are the chances the fed is going to shut down? now if we had a blizzard AND an anthrax scare...

haha... I was just telling Cookie that in the 6 or so years that I have been working "in the real world" the federal gov't has closed ONCE because of snow. It was a few years ago. We got a ton of snow one morning and the gov't didn't shut down till about 8 am. Most people were already at their offices. So the next day after catching A LOT of heat the Fed Gov't closed again.... it didn't snow AT ALL that day - it was quite sunny. Morons

seriously. there has to be a nuclear blast before the gov't shuts down, and then it's for only a half day.

boo snow.

i dont care if the fed shuts down, i just care that HRSA shuts down, or that a lot of people cant make it to work if it does snow, that way i'll have nothing to do at the office when i come in tommorrow.

---> this is what sucks about living so close to where you work.

Well. . .all these stories about the Federal Govmint are great, but I work for the Legislative Branch which has its own standards for shutting down. Each office has the decision of whether to close or not. . . and mine is pretty wussy about snow!

I've always had a harder time going out on Friday nights than Saturday, after waking up early and "working" all day. *shrug*

tell me about it. it's not like i can call work and say that i can't come in when everyone knows i live like less than 10 blocks away.

it's actually not all that bad. with nobody else in the office, i get to download stuff all day and listen to my music really loud, so that's a bonus.

yeah its almost like there needs to be some sort of major blizzard for them to be ok with it....and then if that does happen, my company expects me to still work from home, if not then i'll have to take a day of leave, even though most of the health related agencies are probably shut down also.

If its snowing tomorrow morning, I'll come into the office and there will be no one here from my office. This happened to me last time. So now, I email everyone around 6 am (for some strange reason people in my dept are checking email that early ) and usually one of them will email me back and say "Work from home"

Hehehe, I love when that happens.

i sometimes check e-mail and respond at odd hours of the night and weekend, just another way to make people think that i am dedicated 24-7-365 to the company

as if all the gov't workers don't have it easy enough, actually I shouldn't even call them workers, let's call them employees because they hardly ever do work. All you 9-5ers, just sit around all day waiting for the 5 o'clock bell to ring so you can jump down your little shoot right into the metro, just like the modern day Flintstones. I know so many gov't employees that do nothign all day, just because of that I don't care that I itemized over $6,000 on my taxes this year. Now it snows 1 inch and you guys want off, anything else you cum guzzling tax money theives want? Two words: BEAT IT

I'm off till tuesday!!!!
