12708959, NYC/NE: who else is at work today? :'( :'( :'(
Posted by BabySoulRebel, Mon Jan-26-15 09:57 AM
My boss already said we aren't staying the full day
YAY!
But we will be expected to be in tomorrow by HQ
NAY!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm checking twitter religiously
because if what was reported is true and DiBlasio shuts down the MTA before the afternoon rush I AM OUT OF THIS BITCH.

so
where you is
and what you doing?
12708965, Leaving at 1. Fuck this shit.

12708970, I'm at work...
Posted by StephBMore, Mon Jan-26-15 10:01 AM
I had been hoping it would snow before i left the house so i could have some "it's snowing and i'm in BK" leverage but nope...I project we will get out around 2 or 3. (Hopefully).

I will use a personal day tmrw if they try to make non-essential staff come in.

Manhattan looks like whatever. When I left Brooklyn this morning it looked mad real. Train was 20 minutes late on some BS then mad packed. I'm hoping we are closed tomorrow. I can work from home (I mean play Metal Slug and check emails).
12708976, im leaving at 230

12708993, headquarters
Posted by BabySoulRebel, Mon Jan-26-15 10:11 AM
I'm really hoping that is the case
but only AFTER we all get home tonight
12709002, thats what i thought..so you are saying you'd still have to go in tomorrow
Posted by Cenario, Mon Jan-26-15 10:15 AM
even if mta is down? They picking you up?

"assets" need protection at the expense of common sense!
12708996, if the mta isnt running how would you get to work?
Posted by teefiveten, Mon Jan-26-15 10:11 AM
i sure am not coming in tomorrow if the trains arent going
if i worked in bk maybe but anything that requires a bridge? nah
my boss doesn't live too far from me so i hope she doesn't expect us to come in :(
12709007, chill deblasio said its dangerous to be outside. Stay home unless you
Posted by Cenario, Mon Jan-26-15 10:16 AM
emergency personnel. Even walking is unsafe. (c) blaz
12709011, car service
Posted by BabySoulRebel, Mon Jan-26-15 10:18 AM
moms and I work for the same company
she works at HQ so I'd come in with her and walk to my bldg if the bridges and tunnels are still open.

Commercial asset management would need something akin to an act of God (another Sandy but the winter version) for us NOT to come in. We only got ONE day off when Sandy hit. I just got word that they are already trying to brainwash us into staying overnight if this storm is as bad as they say it will be. FUCK. THAT.
12709029, i'm here

my son's school called yesterday at 5 pm talking early dismissal for today. The company president keeps floating around here giving weather reports. Each time is less inches than the last...
He straight b/sing lol.
12709047, yep and gotta be in this place tomorrow :'-(

12709086, @ work today. wont be in tmw when it shits snow

12709211, At work at the moment.
Posted by Numba_33, Mon Jan-26-15 11:43 AM
I'm slightly upset I'm probably going to miss being away from my gym for the whole week. I hope I don't lose power like I did during Sandy with the high winds I'm hearing about for tonight.
12709266, I get to leave at 2 now and I called the studio near me and
Posted by StephBMore, Mon Jan-26-15 12:05 PM
they said they plan on being open for the rest of the day...don't know how well that would work but if they are open when i get home, i might take a hot yoga class...but yeah that sucks, you get off work early and have time to do things but you can't because everything is closed lol.
12709315, My main concern
Posted by Numba_33, Mon Jan-26-15 12:38 PM
is being stranded with no way to get back home. I'm about 30-45 minutes away from the gym I go to.
12709506, i wouldn't chance it then...
Posted by StephBMore, Mon Jan-26-15 01:48 PM
no point in being out in this weather that far from home...the studio near me is a 10 min walk at the most. (well in this weather add a little) but anything that requires me to drive or get on public transportation has to take the back seat today.
12709214, Damn yall be safe n/m

12709287, My first stop after work tonight...Liquor Store

Posted by BabySoulRebel, Mon Jan-26-15 12:21 PM
now herb is another story
think I might have to make a call downstairs
12709427, Okay so who's STILL here beside me?
Posted by ThaAnthology, Mon Jan-26-15 01:12 PM
Snow coming heavier lol Prez still acting like its minior flurries.
12709433, I'm out at 3 & off tomorrow
Posted by Cam, Mon Jan-26-15 01:14 PM
12709440, I'm still here. Gonna be here too until everything is settled
Posted by BabySoulRebel, Mon Jan-26-15 01:17 PM
MTA/DeBlasio is seriously fucking around with this "we *MIGHT* be shutting down the system" bullshit
This is seriously affecting essential employees' ability to effectively plan for this storm. This should've been decided one way or another already.
12709522, also out at 3 and off tomm

Posted by Riot, Mon Jan-26-15 01:26 PM
hopefully all the schools close and teachers cars clear off my block b4 i get there
12709464, Is this storm gonna be crazy or are we just soft now?
Posted by Niq96st, Mon Jan-26-15 01:32 PM
I can't figure it out.

But my ass is here at work until 5pm today. Closed (work and school) tomorrow.

Classes being cancelled tomorrow kind of sucks for me because I was going to take a class tomorrow to make up for a class on Wednesday that I'm ALREADY ditching to attend this networking event (that I hope will be full of sexy ass men).

12709471, My memory is off
Posted by Numba_33, Mon Jan-26-15 01:37 PM
and I don't remember how many years back, but NYC was hit hard and Doomberg did not prepare well enough and as result, the roads were not cleared properly and some MTA trains actually got stuck on tracks with people on the trains. I'm certain DiBlasio has that in mind in terms of giving folks plenty of warning so he doesn't deal with a similar dilemma.
12709501, I just remember snow days being SUPER rare
Posted by Niq96st, Mon Jan-26-15 01:47 PM
and if we did get one, it wasn't called until the last.possible.second. Guiliani/Rudy Crew AGAF lol

Kids these days have it easy.



12709535, they were
Posted by lfresh, Mon Jan-26-15 01:57 PM
i think diblasio had a school day last year and got riffed on

we have gotten softer
but at the same time
communication was worse then
if we know whats coming we can and should prepare

12709549, Now I feel horrible for not remembering
Posted by Numba_33, Mon Jan-26-15 02:01 PM
the exact year. I do remember reading about folks getting stuck on an A train while it was outdoors and someone dying because of an ambulance getting stuck.
12709526, Still here but we're sending everyone home at 4.

12709546, They offered to pay for a hotel for us I was like NAH
Posted by ShinobiShaw, Mon Jan-26-15 02:01 PM
Granted its a nice hotel and I heard there is going to be drinking at the hotel bar but I wouldn't want to share a room with anyone. Especially not these ratchet fools.
12709564, they trying it with us now and I'm like CHILL
Posted by BabySoulRebel, Mon Jan-26-15 02:10 PM
