Snow day? Yeah right.

Every time we have a snowstorm, I bitterly regret changing my major freshman from education. I really want one freakin' snow day. ONE! Is that too much to ask?  I'm a total wuss and can't drive in snow to save my life, so at least got a ride in. 

I swear I must have a disproporitional amount of FB friends who are teachers. It seems like every status is about having the day off. Crying

Anyone else stuck at work on the East Coast and wants to whine?

Re: Snow day? Yeah right.

  • ME ME ME!!! i feel the same way... seems like everyone is talking about cancellations. Although Rochester tends to be pretty hearty in terms of snow tolerance ? despite some nasty winters, our school districts rarely close for snow days.

    But working, i have little to no excuse anyway. i live 3 blocks from where i work, so im pretty sure id be expected to get here one way or another, even in the event of major snow. ugh!!

  • While I shouldnt complain because I did stay home yesterday... schools were cancelled here again today but I had to come to work.  It is bitterly cold and the wind is blowing the snow everywhere.  Its a mess.  I want a real snow day... one where I dont have to work from home all day.
  • I'm here, but probably leaving early, as the snow is supposed to pick up.

    There is generally 40 people in my office, and only 4 people in today...every other office in the complex is closed.  My office sucks - I don't really think there is a need for medical reprint company to be open today.

  • Whew, I'm not alone in my immense bitterness this morning!

    My boss even offers to pick all of us (7) up at our houses in his SUV every storm to make sure we get to work. Ugh. Srsly, it's not that important we be here!

    That would annoy the crap out of me... if its bad enough I can't get there in my own car, I definitely dont want a ride.  Just leave me alone!

  • I'll whine with you mames, but not because of snow...because I really, really, really don't want to go to work or school today, and I DO work in education, and we here in San Diego never get "snow days."

    I know right!! Some days I just call off "sick" to avoid it, but it's so transparent it's because I don't want to drive!

    Haha, my heart bleeds for you with your sunny gorgeous weather!  I'm so over winter. It's usually around this time I just can't handle it and swear I'm moving away from the Northeast.

  • You could be like my coworker and just call in with a random BS excuse everytime it snows more than 1".  This week it was because her dog was sick but then she was later on fb talking about how the same dog was out playing in the snow.  Car trouble is another classic of hers even though other people drive right by her house on the way in.
