Did you go to work today? Will you go tomorrow?

MagicMarker · 02-02-2009 11:06pm #1

I arrived into work late this morning only to find 40% of my team didn't come in.

It wasn't the nicest of drives in but it wasn't a huge problem either, apart from being slow moving.

But if it's worse tomorrow morning then I may be tempted to stay home. I'd feel a bit guilty though:o

So, are you the model employee who trawls to work rain, sleet or snow?

truecrippler · 02-02-2009 11:07pm

Who the hell works nowadays?

Alanstrainor · 02-02-2009 11:08pm

Yes. I cycled. And i'll be doing the same tomorrow hopefully!

wrecking your car and losing your no claims bonus is not worth one days wages

ChewChew · 02-02-2009 11:16pm

I did. shouldn't have. And am not arsed bout tomorrow!

Daithi McGee · 02-02-2009 11:22pm

Left about 45 minutes earlier so that I would get there on time. I am from a generation that does not take their job for granted.

Hopefully it wont be too bad and I'll get in tmrw - it was a 5 hours today though on whats usually a 90 minute round trip. bf on the m50 for nearly 3 hours, he's at the red cow now... still to get to Newbridge..
I think a snow day is in order for tomorrow

SarahJ · 02-02-2009 11:25pm

Its pretty annoying when people think that because there's some snow, they're entitled to a day off.

m5ex9oqjawdg2i · 02-02-2009 11:27pm

Yea but it rained, will go tomorrow, if it rains I have a lot less work

I don't have a lot of work as it is :P

It's not a case of being entitled to anything. If I can go in tomorrow then I will, but if I think it's too dangerous then I'd rather not feel bad about staying home and have people think I'm just taking the piss.

I dont think that I'm entitled to a day off because of the snow... I tried the trip today, now I know its just too stressful/nerve-wrecking/putting your life in some impatient ar$eholes hands - so just not worth it

This is the kind of attitude to work that will get us through the recession!

Seriously though, we've had a tiny bit of snow, get over it! You're not going to die driving to work and if you're that worried there are always other options.

Guitarist-JEM · 02-02-2009 11:37pm

I hope schools out 2moro...
I have the mocks

Which generation is that? I don't take mine for granted either, and will be in regardless of the conditions tomorrow, but I couldn't say the same of anyone else bar one other member of staff who's in her early thirties (which I'm not). I don't think it's a generation thing, I think it's a standards thing.

Princess Consuela Bananahammock · 02-02-2009 11:43pm

I work from home, so natually no - I'll be taking a snow day tomorrow...

....oh wait... it's not snowing here... sh1t...

Mark200 · 02-02-2009 11:44pm

I think too many people have been watching the UK news and saw some serious snow there. There was **** all here

I went in to college today. Walked for 30 minutes to the train station, and when I was coming home walked through that snow blizzard-like weather. It was annoying, but the snow was barely sticking....no excuse to not travel.

445279.ie · 02-02-2009 11:46pm

Blue skies and sunshine in Limerick so yes, I went to work today. And I'll be going tomorrow cos no snow forecasted for here

Dodge · 02-02-2009 11:51pm

Took a friend of mine 5 hours to get home to kilcullen this evening. To get to work for 8 he'll have to leave at 3 am

It may only have been " a little snow" but visibility was dreadful and cars could not get up motorway off ramps

Cheerilee · 02-02-2009 11:51pm

was stuck in literally a blizzard this morning leaving the house but two miles down the road there was hardly any snow and the city centre was practically clear.. flew across the city am hoping tomorrow will be the same ..so will definetly attempt to get to work..

dazberry · 02-02-2009 11:52pm

Well if the Waterford crystal lads are still going to work even thou' they've no jobs - atleast try get out the front door and down to the bus stop. After 30 minutes and no bus, go home in defeat and watch Jeremy Kyle for punishment.

D.

stovelid · 02-02-2009 11:54pm

Took me two and a half hours to drive to work today (usually 40 minutes) and to get home (usually 40-50 minutes). Better off working at home tbh.

PrivateEye · 02-02-2009 11:55pm

Took my Dad two hours to get from Dolphins Barn Fire Station to Palmerstown, dire.

Imagine the colleges will be closed?

Please understand I don't care. I did once but you wore me out.

I get a giggle out of seeing pathetic useless fuks missing their jobs or as I like to say it, getting handed their asses back.

There are so many young people who thought their employers should have been happy that they came to work who will be a little surprised over the next few months.

lol tbh. Welcome to another type of world.

Daithi McGee · 02-02-2009 11:56pm

Sorry I meant to add this.
