anyone else take a self-imposed SNOW DAY???

i know i did...i was going to go in...but its like 6 inches here, they didnt even shovel the streets and sidewalks....plus there's more snow to come...i was like ummmm...no....sorry....i'm not gonna risk it!

Re: anyone else take a self-imposed SNOW DAY???

yup,

i just caved and took a vacation day.... one more unpaid day in May when i go out on Maternity leave

dh offered to drive me, but that would still require me walking in it, and last time we had snow people were falling outside my office, plus they may close early and id have to wait around for dh then

Re: anyone else take a self-imposed SNOW DAY???

same here, stayed home. I have a 10-15 miinute walk which on a regular day is nothing but last time it snowed it wasn't that much and I had a hard time; just lifting my legs to walk in it was a big effort, plus the risk of falling is there too.

I am taking a vacation day

we got about 4-5 inches here in charlotte and I just do not feel safe driving mikayla to the sitter in the ice so I took off

Re: anyone else take a self-imposed SNOW DAY???

my boss is so sweet - the office is open, but he told me to stay home and not risk the drive (30 mins on a clear day) because I'm preggo! The local employees (5 min drive, no highways) went in.

Re: anyone else take a self-imposed SNOW DAY???

I did. I feel really guilty about it since I was off last Monday because I was sick. I take the LIRR so I probably could have gone but it was getting to the station that had me worried...and coming home again tonight when it's all ice. oh well.
I heard on the news about a pregnant woman in boston who died when her car spun out last night and that made my decision.

Re: anyone else take a self-imposed SNOW DAY???

i felt guilty too...b/c we have deadlines on the 1st business day of the month, but i was like, too bad...i aint trekking in this weather and plus the traffic....sorry work....

Re: anyone else take a self-imposed SNOW DAY???

I stayed home too and of course that is 1 less pay day when I go out on maternity in Oct..but we have 12 inches of snow out East and I am not taking the chance of the drive, etc....ya know.

Re: anyone else take a self-imposed SNOW DAY???

i was planning on calling out! my coworkers were texting me at 7am asking who was going in and when we should call. i was just about to call in and my boss called and said not to bother and that we're just gonna close today!

Re: anyone else take a self-imposed SNOW DAY???

I took a snow day as well. DH did not want me traveling in this snow , and I am using one of my vacation days

Re: anyone else take a self-imposed SNOW DAY???

I didn't have to but if my school wasn't closed I would have. I don't take risks with the precious cargo in my belly. At 35 weeks, it's not worth risking the fender bender or worse.

Re: anyone else take a self-imposed SNOW DAY???

I wish I had. I am freezing in my office and it took me 2 hours to get here!

Enjoy the day girls!!

Re: anyone else take a self-imposed SNOW DAY???

I took a half day
