Fuming right now!

climbingsingle · February 2015

It's snowing/icing here. Our idiot plant manager sent out a group text at 4:50AM asking how the road conditions were.

I was so fucking pissed off I couldn't get back to sleep. I went to sleep at 11pm planning to get up at 6am. I'd have a nice 7 hours of sleep. And unfortunately I'm one of those people that cannot function with less than 7 hours of sleep. I get awful migraines. I always leave my phone on because my 92 year old Grandma lives 5 minutes away, and I need to make sure she can always reach me. And you know, normally I don't have people texting me at 4:50AM.

So, I get here at my usual start time (7:30) and this fucking asshat that woke me up is not even fucking here.

I can barely keep my eyes open.

ugh I'm so sorry. I got to work this morning to a completely empty office and an email from my boss saying that she didn't have my phone number to text me but my entire group-- including her-- is not coming in today because of the snow. But I'm already here.

I'm literally the only person on my entire end of this floor. It's a total ghost town.

So... I could have NOT spent a half hour outside this morning in below zero temperatures using a broom to push the giant mountain of snow off my car with an injured back while FI busted his ass shoveling the entire driveway? I could be still in bed? In my pajamas? K thanks.

Ugh that sucks!!! Can you at least go home?

charlieyankee03 · February 2015

That sucks! Do you have blocking mode on your phone? You can block all calls between the hours you're in bed except for an allowed contacts list.

LabLove86 · February 2015

Yeah - I am still trying to get out of my apartment complex. I am usually at work by 730. I am boxed in. 100% cannot get out without a plow/snowblower - the maintenance crew here is working hard to get everyone out - BUT . . . . .its slow going.

My work keeps calling - will you be here for your next patient? I keep telling them that I don't know. I"ll call them and let them know. . . . . . UGH.

Honestly - I don't think its going to happen today.

I know I can turn it on Do Not Disturb, but that will block all calls.

theartistformerlyknownas · February 2015

I got an automated call at 11pm saying the office is closed and we're to work from home. I was slightly pissed it took them that long but that's a hell of a lot better than 4:50!

climbingsingle · February 2015

You know, what kills me is that he doesn't make a decision to close. The owners and the head chef (and myself) do that. There was NO REASON for him to start texting people so early. Everyone is here except for him.

My boss sent an email last night saying that everyone needed to come in but I missed the email this morning about working from home. So I am in the office alone as well.

wandajune6 · February 2015

My texted me at 10:30 last night telling me not to come in today. Then texted me again 10 minutes later when she remembered she booked us for something in the afternoon.

Fortunately there was no traffic because most schools are closed. Fortunately, DH was a hero and woke up early to clean off his jeep so he could drive me to the train. And so much better than needing to drive to work myself in this crap!

My H drove me in too, thank god! I don't know if I would have made it out of the driveway in my car.

She said I can leave now but I'm gonna wait till lunch and then just stay home the rest of the day!

falsara · February 2015

Both my classes canceled for today. But the university is still open so FI will have to go for his class later this afternoon unless the professor cancels. He also has an eye appt that is apparently still on. I may brave the cold for groceries later but, for now I'm staying warm on my couch curled up with kitty.

ETA: Pushed the save button when I wasn't done

thisismynickname2 · February 2015

That sucks!!!

One good thing about my job is that I can work from home. I'm in jammies!

And for the hourly people that can't work from home, our opening was delayed until 10am. Our organization has an "SOS" line that posts updates for all our locations around the country.

lovegood90 · February 2015

Ughh that's the worst! I've been waking up at 4am lately because I get too hot, then when I wake up for real a few hrs later I'm just exhausted

No one is at work today! It took me 1.5 hrs when it normally takes me less than half an hr to get here. It's madness out there.

ohmrs2014 · February 2015

I happen to work in Catholic School and the city that its in is the only school district open in the county and we are the only Catholic School open in the city. We had a delayed opening along with the district.

I slipped down the stairs this morning on ice, luckily our landlord's BF was shoveling so he was able to catch me before I fell, but I twisted my ankle. Luckily I have a boot on so its compressing some of the swelling, but not all.

I was cleaning off my car this morning after the fall and some a$$hat sped down the street and splashed the slush all over me.

Luckily there is no after school program today so I will get home at 3:00pm, so I'm hoping I find some sort of parking.

@climbingwife do you have an IPhone? If you set-up a "Favorites" contact list in your phone, you can go on Do Not Disturb, but still allow calls from anyone on your Favorites list

Not sure about other phones though...

I can do this on my HTC One. There are exceptions to Do Not Disturb so only calls from my parents and sisters will come through, but no app notifications or other people's calls/texts.

I do have an iPhone. Thanks!

Is that stupid guy at your office yet?! You should tell him how annoying that was.

I just told my boss I'm going home at lunch and working from home the rest of the day. (She had said I could leave right away but I told her I'd let her know what I decide to do). So I guess that's cool that I can put my pajamas back on soon, but I'm still so annoyed at the thought of my ENTIRE group sleeping in and staying inside their nice warm houses all day and I came here. Ugh!

And congrats on figuring out the Do Not Disturb thing for your phone! lol. That sounds like an excellent idea!

charlottesmom0626 · February 2015

We don't have a ton of snow, but it's SO ICY. (I'm in Pittsburgh, can't figure out how to add that under my name if anyone wants to share)

I walk to work and fucking ate it on my way in today. Literally all 4 limbs were in the air at the same time. Luckily I landed on my ass, which definitely softened the blow. But then I was wet.

He strolled in around 10am. I texted him back this morning once I got up and told him to never contact me before 6am.

Omg what a douche. That's so annoying.

If someone contacts me at 4:50 in the morning, someone better be dying.

KatieinBkln · February 2015

It seems like this storm hit the whole country with actual snow and then turned into "freezing rain" (aka "slush from the sky!") once it hit NYC. LAME!

I was in WI this weekend and it was intense (and beautiful). I couldn't believe my flight made it out yesterday, but it did, and now I'm here in the 37-degree city with nothing but slush lakes everywhere.

Cookie Pusher · February 2015

DH and I both had work today, but our offices both had delayed openings. It rained by us after the snow so we ended up with 6" of slushy-snow. The plowing in our town was great, but turned to shit as I got closer to the office - it literally didn't look like the roads had been touched because of massive ruts and ice patches. There's flooding by us from the rain not being able to get to the sewer grates with all the snow in the way. It's currently sleeting now, and they're predicting full freeze-over around 3 o'clock (we're here until 5). Fan-freaking-tastic! Can it stop being winter now?

Ugh. Be careful on those roads. The streets are going to turn into ice skating rinks tonight.

I know. There's already reported icing conditions in norther and central NJ - and it's not even 1 o'clock yet! I'm trying to get out of here early because of the roads, but I have to call into a meeting at 3. I called the woman running the meeting to reminder to send me the dial-in info ASAP because I'm trying to leave the office to get home in time to call in but she didn't pick up (this was literally a minute after she sent out the meeting agenda by email). It's no problem to call in from the office since our phone systems are wired together and it would be an internal call but I have no idea how to use the conference bridging system from an outside line. UGH. If I don't hear back in 10 minutes, I'm just leaving and telling her tough shit about her meeting.

That's the worst! It seems like I end up with a bruised tailbone once a year from similar falls. Ice is a bitch. Glad you're ok, even if you are wet!

lovemyrunner · February 2015

I'm a nurse in a local hospital so no closings, cancellations, late starts etc. I worked 3 12s in a row this weekend, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The snow started for us on Saturday and Sunday morning we were buried. Then Sunday night, a bunch of staff called in "sick" so I would up having to stay late. A 16 hour shift to end my 3 in a row. Brutal. So today, I'm being completely lazy. I feel I earned it!

levioosa · February 2015

Do Not Disturb mode on the iPhone is the best thing for call free sleep (if you have an iPhone). You can set it so that important people on your favorites list can still get calls through, or you can set it so no calls go through. I set mine to favorites in case family members need to get a hold of me in the middle of the night. My grandparents don't have the most stable health, and for some reason I'm the go to person to call when anything happens.
