Biden is still president if you’re unaware. |
Agree, except for folks scheduled to telework. |
So? |
In DC, and our street was plowed one time, long before the snow stopped, so it looks totally unplowed now, and the alley (where our cars actually are) has not been plowed at all. Sometimes they don't plow the alleys. We have mostly elderly neighbors, so we are one of 2 houses on the alley that can shovel it. It's going to be a long day out there. |
+1 They ‘teleworked’ yesterday as did all of their colleagues. I assume they worked a few hours. |
My spouse is literally giving a presentation at a conference virtually from his home office. This weird idea that teleworking isn't working is ridiculously outdated. |
It’s not outdated when the person teleworking is out in the snow for two hours! |
Who is out in the snow for two hours? You? Otherwise you are just inventing stories. |
Lots of people were out in the snow for two hours yesterday. Sledding with their kids. Including me. I took the day off of work. Some people were teleworking. How do I know that? They told me while out in the snow. It’s really not that hard to understand. |
I took leave for the hours I was out in the snow. Timecard technology can handle it, I promise. |
We literally had to scramble to hire babysitters this AM to help us with childcare for today. Both DCPS and our federal daycare center are closed.
We started texting our rolodex of Gtown and GW students at 8pm last night. Probably went through 15 people before we could cobble together two sitters for today. If we were not actually working, why would I be hiring sitters to watch a toddler and an ES student? |
yeah, i've got a three year old. i took liberal leave for all but an hour yesterday, and have gotten about two hours of work in today which will probably be it. I would love a two-hour delay tomorrow if the schools actually open. though i'm not sure i'd be up for biking into the office like i normally do. maybe walk... |
There is zero reason for a two hour delay tomorrow. The weather is perfect today. Public transportation is running right now. I'm actually going to be really annoyed if there is a two hour delay, because its just going to delay schools and daycares. Most Feds have a crap load of work to do after the New Year. |
Actually, the buses are running on emergency schedules as are the ones in Fairfax. Most people don’t live next to a train stop. The streets and sidewalks near me are sheets of ice and will be until the sun hits them. Look, work or don’t work, I don’t care. Mind your own house and take care of yourself. |
100% true. One of my execs canceled our daily tag up because he admitted to being outside sledding with his kids. I didn't care one bit. My kids are grown; otherwise, I would have been outside too. |
