Nope ,, arrived at 7 p.m. Monday night

8:30 a.m. (here) Thursday morning ,, YOU do the math

(debating on staying agian today/tonight as “my” shift doesn’t end till 10 this morning and I’m scheduled back at 10 tonght,,, if it’s going to take me 3 hours to get home and 3 hours to get back at the risk of someone spinning into me on the highway ,, 6 total hours of travel for a mere 6 hours at home,,, Idunno!!)

Around here… with a situation like that… when the roads are almost impassable… we stay or make some arrangements to stay somewhere close by… a friend, a hotel…

I remember 4 years ago, I was on a 6 month contract at a big medical software company, and they were predicting 3-4 foot of snow north of Denver (I was working in Lewisville)… I made arrangements to stay at a hotel in the business park… I came in the next day… I was one of about 12 employees out of 200 people working there that came in.

I did that because that day was the last day on contract and I wanted them to remember what I did. Figured that was good for business.
