I went to work only because my friend with a 4x4 truck that works by me offered to come get me. The snow was drifted up to my windows when I left for work.

I wonder how long it will take to go from oak creek to west bend today. I gotta be there by two. Normally takes me about 45min.

Well leave at noon.......you should not have that much trouble, you have a good 4wd system and I am assuming good tires on your truck......took me double the time that it usually takes me to get to work today

My work is closed today as well. I work up at 6:30 to check then went back to bed. I love adult snow days. At least you don't have to make them up at the end of the year.

I work at a high school...so no. But, my wife works at an animal hospital, so I took her in. She called a few hours later as they were sending most home and I had to borrow a neighbor's 4WD trailblazer.

Let me tell you...Trailblazer's (and any truck for that matter) with nearly bald firestone AT tires SUCK ASS in the snow. I got stuck 5 times on my tiny stretch of road in that thing :mad:

looks like I'm gonna have to go in. I called in and talked to our security office and they said we'll be open for second shift. :crying The bs part is that it's a freakin factory. Why not just give us the excused absence and be done with it. :durr

Good Electric. They hired a bunch of us out of the hall, then after Phase One
of project is done (i pretty much built all the offices myself) they laid us guys from the Hall off, because thier "regulars" dont have any other jobs to work at.

I cant be too mad, my Foreman and co-workers were awesome, and i got some good OT.

And I was able to visit Yoosof, 3 times a day since it was at his hospital.:)

One supervisor and I were the only ones of a 25 person shop who showed up. Not even office people. The owners did come in at their usual time. They sent us home at noon. I have pussies for employees.

You're more than welcome to try to come in and work on a roof with us on a day like today. We'll see if you don't have a vag then. Money isn't worth death.

My work was open for a half day for who knows what reason. But I did get to drive an 06 Silverado plow truck all day. It had a 3 inch cat back intake and a tune. So that was fun. Made it a fun day actually.

12-19-2008, 06:54 PM
I know my boss gets so pissed about folks calling in and planning to have the next day no shows due to the "storm of the century" and how folks have become kinda pussified when it snows, like its always a snow emergency. Course he spends half his time in AZ so his credibility is all shot. He did drive RWD boats in the 70's here tho and I heard the 70's were pretty snowy.

I went in at 9am and all down forest home and layton it was down to one lane and there were a few stuck cars and some big drifts in the road. I left at 2:30 because no one else showed up then I got stuck on a side street with a POS chrysler pacifica.

I worked 5am to 5pm today and then blew my driveway when I got home. Shit was deep! I've worked where I do for 15 years and they never have and most likely never will shut down for weather or anything of the like.

Went to work today, in my GTO. Did a little unintentional plowing on the way, but fortunately there was a car written up last night for me to work on. I'd say 50-60% of the techs didn't show up, but I had a half day and spent my afternoon shoveling out my neighbor's cars.

pOrk
12-19-2008, 07:49 PM
This is wisconsin, are you sallys serious?

There was 7 inches of snow down when I left for work at 4 am, and I made it no problems. Guess what, the plows aren't out and about on the interstates at 4 am. Took me an additional 30 minutes, but I planned ahead and made it on time with ease.

School was closed, but I ran errands with Adam. His winter beater SHO and snow tires handles anything.

Then around noon i ended up snowblowing/shoveling for about 2 hours. My body aches!

I had to go to work. Calling in is not in my vocabulary. Besides I was need the money. The boss did let me leave around 2 after all the cry babies that couldn't make it on time rolled in.

i need the money, but the work that i did yesterday that I didnt get paid for should translate to money today and next week....I usually do well the day after a snow storm.

I went in. 4 of us showed up not including the boss. I think he was actually mad we came in because I'm pretty sure he just wanted to leave. He gave us some inside work to do instead of working on the roof.

Salaried and I was the only one without 4x4 to show up. It does help that I only live 1.5 miles away.
