I'm jealous. My first year working here, I had 4 snow days. Last 3 years? Nada.
I had off all last week because of the two storms. It was pretty sweet. Expect to be off Thursday and Friday of this week. When Spring rolls around, I'm not sure how I'm going to get used to coming into work 5 days a week.
Are you guys teachers or something? I've been at my current job over 17 years and never once have we closed due to snow or cold.
I am not a teacher. But I can just as easily work from home as I can from at my office. So their policy is that if the weather is bad, best to stay home.
That said, the ice storm that hit last week hit my area the hardest. People are still without power. We had trees down all over the roadways and travel was not recommended. That kept me home from W to F. We got 10+ inches of snow Monday and that kept me home M and T.
I made it in T and F but I take the train into Philly. Train wasn't running W and Th. I too can work just as easily from home, if I have power which was not the case W. Took a vacation day.
I am not looking forward to 12 inches or more of snow and the possible repeat of power outages as more trees come down. It was insane W morning hearing all the trees in our neighborhood coming down. At least 1 a minute as I was out salting the driveway.
Crazy you had to take a vacation day. If we don't have power, it's just a snow day for us. I thought about turning off my computer on Wednesday and emailing them saying my power was out, but I thought better of it, since I barely do any work when I "work" from home anyway.
And that day was crazy! I went out early that morning and all I could hear were trees snapping. And not like twigs, but snaps that you knew meant an actual tree just went down. It was pretty scary, actually.
