I will be working from home today. There is at least 8 inches of new snow that fell overnight and it is still coming down like crazy. After a 7AM meeting, I went outside and used the snow blower to remove the snow from the driveway so I could get out. When I went into the house to clean up, the snow plow went by again. And now as I type this message, sitting in my kitchen in front of the window looking out at the beautiful snow covered hills that line my driveway, the plow just went by again.
For those of you that do not remember the days without laptops and networks, this would have been a day that we called into the Plant Open / Closed phone number to hear a recorded message telling us if we had to brave the weather and get into the plant or stay home. This is one of the days when we called our boss and told him we couldn’t make it to the office. Then we would settle in and watch movies all day long, or we would trudged across the tundra to a neighborhood park with a hill to go sledding with our children.
I called the open / closed phone number. The plant is still open. I was able to finally VPN. And my laptop, with a sticky space key, still functions.
I will be working, but I will be staying put and not traveling into the office (or anywhere else) today.
