You're just so effing wonderlly altrustic, you're too wonderfully altrustic to eff.

No one gets paid double or extra to go to a real job. Just fyi. You make it in or you take a sick day or get fired. It's really simple.

Your arrogance is astounding. And SHAMEFUL.
Everyone is being told to stay home today, FYI.

It makes me so glad I hired a mature nanny with no fear of driving who comes in rain or snow when needed and never tries to get extra paid days off because of bad weather. She has never been hurt or in an accident trying to come into work.

I feel sorry for the Nanny.

Me too. You have to wonder what kind of background she comes from.

I am a mature nanny and have never taken off for a snow day or bad weather either. What is the background that I come from? I am from Minnesota (an American of Swedish decent) so I know how to drive in snow and ice and I have always had a very strong work ethic. I accepted my current nanny position knowing that my employers were both in the medical/hospital field and there was no leeway for a nanny to crap out because of weather or minor ailments.

You have a bit of an arrogant tone to your post, mature nanny. A nanny or ANY employee that is concerned for their safety and well being is not "crapping out of work" because they want to be safe and follow the advice of weather and traffic professionals that tell you to only drive in an emergency. Just because one comes from a colder climate and "knows" how to drive in ice or snow doesn't mean other drivers that will be on the road know how also. So you could be merrying along on your way to work with your wonderful driving skills yet another idiot could come up sliding behind you on black ice and hurt you and themselves. So many things could happen including branches and trees etc falling due to weight of ice and snow, or one could very well get stuck at the nf house and not be able to make it back home in the evening.

My employers have to work regardless of the weather and so do I. That is a fact of my employment. I accepted it and I adapt - even if it means leaving my house two hours earlier than I normally would.

And yes, most midwesterners are very superior when it comes to driving in the snow and ice - we learned to be. So my arrogance is well-founded.

Fellow Midwesterner here. I'm from the northern part of the upper peninsula of Michigan, near the Canadian border.
NOBODY can safely drive on ice. It doesn't matter where you are from. Vehicles are not meant to travel on ice.
It is very, very common to see people where we come from crash into ther people, slide into ditches and other cars during sbow storms.
Enough with the "Midwesterners are superior" BS. You're making a fool of yourself.
Martyrdom doesn't look good on anyone.

You were never taught to turning into skid when driving on ice? What about never braking on ice? Did you ever once have a snow day when you were growing up?

Who the hell taught you to drive?!! LOL

Yes, I am a far superior driver on ice and snow than anyone from DC - no question. I seriously doubt that you are from UP.

Arrogance is an immature characteristic. So is playing on the Internet while you are working. Or did you take a snow day today.

I don't work on Fridays - but thank you so much for your concern! Maybe when you grow up you can get a good job like mine - provided, of course, you learn to drive.

And I think you need to look up the word "arrogance" as clearly you are confused by the meaning.

Oh, PP - never ask someone to look up a word!!! Now she is going to come back with a cut and paste from Websters. So dull and predictable...

To pretend that people in the Midwest never get into accidents during foul weather is ridiculous.
Is it that you want attention?
Do you not get enough acknowledgement in your life that you come to an anonymous forum to stir up trouble?
Here you go...I'll give you your validation: You are an amazing driver and are far superior to every person in Washington D.C.
You are the best nanny in Washington D.C. Your life is full and conplete because you never miss work.
You are the best person in the world Minnesota. I strive to be like you.

No one gets paid double or extra to go to a real job. Just fyi. You make it in or you take a sick day or get fired. It's really simple.

Your arrogance is astounding. And SHAMEFUL.
Everyone is being told to stay home today, FYI.

It makes me so glad I hired a mature nanny with no fear of driving who comes in rain or snow when needed and never tries to get extra paid days off because of bad weather. She has never been hurt or in an accident trying to come into work.

I feel sorry for the Nanny.

Me too. You have to wonder what kind of background she comes from.

I am a mature nanny and have never taken off for a snow day or bad weather either. What is the background that I come from? I am from Minnesota (an American of Swedish decent) so I know how to drive in snow and ice and I have always had a very strong work ethic. I accepted my current nanny position knowing that my employers were both in the medical/hospital field and there was no leeway for a nanny to crap out because of weather or minor ailments.

You have a bit of an arrogant tone to your post, mature nanny. A nanny or ANY employee that is concerned for their safety and well being is not "crapping out of work" because they want to be safe and follow the advice of weather and traffic professionals that tell you to only drive in an emergency. Just because one comes from a colder climate and "knows" how to drive in ice or snow doesn't mean other drivers that will be on the road know how also. So you could be merrying along on your way to work with your wonderful driving skills yet another idiot could come up sliding behind you on black ice and hurt you and themselves. So many things could happen including branches and trees etc falling due to weight of ice and snow, or one could very well get stuck at the nf house and not be able to make it back home in the evening.

My employers have to work regardless of the weather and so do I. That is a fact of my employment. I accepted it and I adapt - even if it means leaving my house two hours earlier than I normally would.

And yes, most midwesterners are very superior when it comes to driving in the snow and ice - we learned to be. So my arrogance is well-founded.

Fellow Midwesterner here. I'm from the northern part of the upper peninsula of Michigan, near the Canadian border.
NOBODY can safely drive on ice. It doesn't matter where you are from. Vehicles are not meant to travel on ice.
It is very, very common to see people where we come from crash into ther people, slide into ditches and other cars during sbow storms.
Enough with the "Midwesterners are superior" BS. You're making a fool of yourself.
Martyrdom doesn't look good on anyone.

You were never taught to turning into skid when driving on ice? What about never braking on ice? Did you ever once have a snow day when you were growing up?

Who the hell taught you to drive?!! LOL

Yes, I am a far superior driver on ice and snow than anyone from DC - no question. I seriously doubt that you are from UP.

I learned to drive in the snow and How to get out of a skid.
Knowing these things doesn't prevent all accidents.
To pretend that people in the Midwest never get into accidents during foul weather is ridiculous.
Is it that you want attention?
Do you not get enough acknowledgement in your life that you come to an anonymous forum to stir up trouble?
Here you go...I'll give you your validation: You are an amazing driver and are far superior to every person in Washington D.C.
You are the best nanny in Washington D.C. Your life is full and conplete because you never miss work.
You are the best person in the world Minnesota. I strive to be like you.

Thank you. Not necessary but I appreciate your apology and admission of being wrong.

You're not helping yourself here. You seem unhinged.

Arrogance is an immature characteristic. So is playing on the Internet while you are working. Or did you take a snow day today.

I don't work on Fridays - but thank you so much for your concern! Maybe when you grow up you can get a good job like mine - provided, of course, you learn to drive.

And I think you need to look up the word "arrogance" as clearly you are confused by the meaning.

What the heck is confusing about the word arrogance? Any dummy knows it means being egotistical and or conceited. And any individual that proclaims to be "mature" and in the next breath brags about being arrogant is clearly not as mature as their age may make others seem. Especially in reference to something like driving in bad weather. Bless your heart you probably go through life seeking gratification for the most insignificant things lol. Look up arrogance, I mean really lol
