Snowed in, can't go to work
 

Yay for Wisconsin weather. The office is closed. We got like 6 inches of snow overnight and we're supposed to get another 6 inches by this afternoon.

This would be all well and good except I've got a consultant from Dallas whose flight to a client in Anchorage AK left at 8 am central, and I really need to tell him about his rental car reservation that's waiting for him in Anchorage. Of course, I got the rental reservation info from the client after the consultant got on the plane.

I was able to call one of my coworkers in our Florida office (they're not snowed in...) and get the guy's cell #, and his plane lands in Minneapolis at 10:30 am central, so with any luck he'll turn on his phone and I'll be able to get a hold of him while he's in Minneapolis.

So much for bumming around!

i <3 when 6 - 12 inches is considered "snowed in" :chuckles:

have you worked with consultants before? usually they know how to handle such inconveniences just fine. and they always have their cell on (when allowed) if they're on the clock.

I wish I was snowed in and didn't have work today, all we've had was rain the past few days. Lots of rain.

:werd: WTF is this crap??? 6-12 inches of snow in Syracuse is 'bloody nuisance'. 12-24 is 'drive slower'. 'Close everything!' doesn't happen until 36"+, which I saw once.

^ :bs:

i remember back in school days where the schoolbus would get stuck 3 times on the way to school and we still had to go ...

and business's never close ... hell just last week they had a visibility range of about 10 feet and everyone was still open and operating

Well that's your problem. ;)
He's not on the clock til tomorrow. :oh:

Worst case scenario he takes a cab to his hotel, checks his email and finds out he has a rental car waiting for him. He can just expense the cab.

I like to have all the i's dotted and t's crossed with these guys, it tends to be worth it to me in repeat business.

you obviously have not been to syracuse lately.

Let me get this straight;

You can't go to work and you're complaining? :eh:
