Was hoping my office was closed, but here I am on the bus in. Here's hoping everyone else shows up, too.

Also, girlfriend's never seen this much snow at once.

 

[The Elite]

Receptionist keeps getting calls from people not coming in. I wish someone would make a decision to just close the office already so I can head home.

 

[crimzonflame]

When will they start plowing the streets? Drive to work wasn't bad, I was just stuck at one one intersection for 40 minutes because some idiot truck driver decided to park his truck and completely block one lane. This was 5 minutes from work too.

 

[Lostconfused]

Made it to work only 5 mins off my usual time. I guess this is a benefit commuting opposite the heavy flow of traffic.

There was no traffic for me in general. Everyone decided to stay home. I think I got in earlier in fact, haha.

 

[Willectro]

No working from home.

Commute would have been fine if the subway was entirely underground. But nope.

 

[Mupod]

yeah, it didn't take me any longer to get in today, but I live 5km from my office and those roads never have any traffic anyways.

I'm trying to call the places I was supposed to drive to today, and nobody's answering so I guess they didn't go in. And nobody is at this office but me, so these fuckers better not get on my case about not wanting to spend 4 hours on the road today. Planning on quitting this job soon anyways, not putting up with 2-3 week late paychecks anymore.

 

[The Elite]

So far it's 9:30 and 3 out of 15 people are here. I think I'm going to leave at 10 if I get the impression not too many other people are showing up.

 

[whitehawk]

My first class is canceled but York is still open. This damn school will never close.

 

[doctorcdcs]

My class is still happening but I've decided not to go today. Gotta love York.

unfortunately my prof didn't even tell us so here I am on campus

 

[The Elite]

Someone arrived saying they had a 45 minute wait for the subway.

 

[ahdurian]

half of my department is gone and staying home
4/5 of my managers aren't here

streetcars on king came like every 20 minutes (and not in those "oh 20mins and then four show up." it was one streetcar)
no word if e can leave early either

gotta love working in the bank

=_=

 

[yyzjohn]

My work hates people working from home. I'm in but it's just me and the receptionist right now.

A lot of people are just calling in with no plans to do any work now. They should really embrace the work from home option.

There were still quite a few people on the subways this morning.

Same here, couldn't make it in and sent an email saying I couldn't work. "If I had VPN access..." Maybe they'll get the message. Long weekend !!!!!!!

 

[Quadratic]

A lot of people here at work called in. I can do work today but it's so slow because no one is here. It's super quiet in the office too.

 

[Rinoa]

Damn snow

I can work from home or diff city when I need to, but I love my office

 

[Azih]

Got to work no problems today (Go train). But man I'm glad my wife decided not to and kept the car at home.

 

[chaobreaker]

My dumb school didn't throw an email at their students so I had to check their website to see if was closed for the day.

 

[mr.rager]

Went out this morning to shovel my driveway and found that my neighbour already did it. Only had to salt the driveway and that took like 2 minutes. I fucking love my neighbour. also no work today As if I needed more reasons to love winter.

 

[Junior Mint]

Praise Jesus... I finally found a job after 4 months of searching

damn sounds nice, congrats. Always nice to hear got a job stories

 

[Junior Mint]

Yeah was really starting to get scared about not having found anything for so long
It was getting close to 6 months if I include the time from when I left my job in Vancouver to now.

Now you have to do your neighbour a favour.

It was definitely scary for me. Moved here on May 1 and started my current job in mid-July - my savings would have held out for maybe another month.

Unfortunately I'm back in job hunting mode. The business owner is up to some sketchy shit, my boss in particular hadn't been paid for months (still don't know if he has) and my last cheque was late 3 weeks. Hell we got kicked out of our offices 2 weeks ago due to late rent and we were only let back in today. Even if I get paid today I'm not staying, got an interview this week for something downtown...I would miss having a 5-10 minute drive to work, but that's all I'd miss.

Congrats!

Hardly anyone here today. Would have worked from home if I could but I don't have VPN access. I find I funny that the person who lives 10 minutes from the office didn't make it.

Winterlicious question

[-Deimos]

Lol my neighbors wouldn't shovel my driveway even if I payed them. This is going to be a fun afternoon.

Nice! Grats bro! A pitcher of beer on Junior Mint next meet up!!!

Now you have to do your neighbour a favour.

Next time it snows I'll shovel their driveway. I love my neighbours, they have a house in Newfoundland and whenever they come back from their Summer holidays there, they always give us a bunch of lobsters.

Open Table doesn't have reservations open for Winterlicious, and neither does the Canoe site...

I've gotten a day of reservation for Canoe during Winterlicious. You might be lucky with a cancellation.

I hate everyone who talks about Groundhog Day (except the movie) even when they're joking.

[chaobreaker]

I don't actually take Groundhog day seriously, please don't hate me.

 

[shadowkat]
