I guess. What I mean is it seems like there are even a bunch of people who don't fall into this category that are driving to work. People with desk jobs - people who can telework. It's 2020 for FS. I work at a software development company and I set up an SSL VPN for the office for days like today and I'm just thinking.. why are you driving there lmao. The lady across the street from me went to work when she doesn't have to. To each their own, I guess.. y'all work long and hard enough so when you get the opportunity to work from home as many of us can, you ought to take it.

I was 8, and my dog (r.i.p.) was only a puppy at the time, absolutely loved it. Tunneled under the snow, looked like buggs bunny from the top, with an occasional dolphin jump, lol. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Telework is finally getting some steam as that is the direction Private and Public work are heading towards. However, before that happens, the infrastructure needs to be in place (laptops, VPN, etc). All of that is a cost. And some are slow to adapt the new changes. But Telework just makes so much sense. So long as there are metrics used to prove work is being done.

I am trying to remember if that was the one where I built a stupid amount of tunnels and snow forts in my parents yard, we had some of the most epic snowball fights one of those years when I was a kid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Vintage Canuck- Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 New snowfall warning for Metro Vancouver: Quote Snowfall warning in effect for: Metro Vancouver - North Shore including West Vancouver and North Vancouver Metro Vancouver - northeast including Coquitlam and Maple Ridge Metro Vancouver - southeast including Surrey and Langley An area of low pressure currently offshore will approach the BC Coast late this afternoon. The low will bring strong southeasterly winds to the region. This will create a slow transition from snow to rain for areas mainly near the Strait of Georgia and low lying areas tonight. However, cold air will remain in place over the North Shore, Coquitlam, Pitt Meadows, Maple Ridge, as well as northern sections of Langley and Surrey. Snowfall accumulations of 10 cm is expected over these areas tonight as a result. The snow will ease to scattered showers or flurries Thursday. Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to BCstorm@canada.ca or tweet reports using #BCStorm. https://weather.gc.ca/warnings/report_e.html?bc42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you get a snow day - you take it. Except that means other than Vancouver, the rest of the country wouldn't operate for 4 months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBackup Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 (edited) Took me 3 hours to get home today. Normally I'm not too miffed about the city going to DEFCON 1 when the snowflakes start to fall, but this time it bothered me. The snow was still on the ground from several days ago and the forecast called for lots more in the future, and somehow the skytrain and transit system is still completely unprepared. Makes you happy the city caved immediately when they threatened to strike. Edited January 15, 2020 by Bitter Melon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
