In all seriousness fellas, those of you in the way of this deal, be careful.  On a lighter note, enjoy your snow day!  I don't expect ANY of you are going to work :)

Unfortunately I work from home now so there's no upside at all from this thing.

Tell the boss "Too much snow make internet slow... No worry, Mon. Soon come."

Then send him a jpeg of a new Volkswagen.

Have fun! When you are done there you can come to my place.   ;D  I think you, me and Gus are all in the same relative range of snow fall.



On a side note they say the wind is going to be strong as well which is what could cause power outages.

Not that anyone will be surprised, but here is an off topic question, if you work from home, how do you get any work done?!?!  I don't think I have the required intestinal fortitude to force my self to do any work if I was just kickin' it in my pj's.  I mean, I'm moving in three weeks and I don't have NOTHIN' packed yet.  Instead, I'm on this here computer wasting time.

Believe it or not, the hard part is *not* working.

The converse to working from home is that you never leave the office.

Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,

I'm in the 12" to 18" or 18" to 24" myself, depending on what forecast one follows. Interesting times...

THey haven't broken it to us yet, how bad it will be. It'll probably be close to Mirthland.
Any time is a good time for pie.

I don't really care for it. It's too easy to put in a load of laundry, do dishes or other stuff like that. I'm not really tempted to play a game or goof off. I feel more guilty about that. As far as wasting time on the computer, I could do that just as much at the office.

I'll bet even factoring in a load of laundry you still check work stuff at night and on weekends. I'll bet you put in more time working than you think.

Of course it's not scientific, but I just heard this morning on the radio that 80% of office workers time is spent on goofing off at the computer.

That's always been part of my job. My iPhone is covered by work, but it comes with a lot of strings. If someone's website goes down, they don't care if it's 7AM Sunday and you're only on the first cup of coffee.

I used to be the 24/7 guy for the company I worked for and I got a call on Christmas morning.  A lady at one of our properties had ants and insisted that I come right then.  My (ex)wife was the office manager and neither one of us could get ahold of the owner.  So I went.
