I wish I could get away with that. The bad thing is, I literally only live 5 min away from work. If I were to stay home, my manager would probably drive and come pick me up.. lol |

Guelph Uni stayed closed today..... im going back to bed.
edit: I just ran upstairs to check... there is a little ice on the small tree branches.. but none on the roads really (and our road never gets cleared) and all the eavestrophs are dripping.... so everything is melting. |

yep i wanted to get off my bus to take one of the express buses passing by (thank God for metropasses) but it wasnt even letting people in at the previous stop after letting some people out...the line up outside york for both GO transit buses and TTC buses was massive, people lined up everywhere....each with their own story of how they're gonna be late for this and that, and how they waited 3 hours just to get where they are now...didnt really help that we waited for that driver's relief either:( |

it's raining outside, .
i live in dundas, and drove to etobicoke this morning - it took the same amount of time as a dry, normal day. people are so quick to jump the gun on the 'don't drive or work if you don't have to' and the result is HALF of my office will likely not show (and most of those only like 20km at the most away).
people - it's not bad... it's wet. suck it up, put your ing slickers on, go to work, and seriously for the love of god STFU. |

It's raining outside after a snowstorm, . What do i have to do with your half of your office not showing up? i don't know about Dundas but where i live (Richmond Hill) everything is covered in ice. In my opinion it is much safer staying home than driving in these conditions, you can do what you want.
some news to read if you're bored

Massive Winter Storm Cuts Path Of Destruction Through GTA
Friday March 2, 2007
A massive winter storm that blew through the GTA over the past 24 hours is all but over, but its effects will be felt all day Friday.
The snow and ice storm has caused school and bus closures, train and flight delays and cancellations, downed power lines, and left the streets a flooded, sloppy mess.
The morning commute is going to be a tricky one, as the snow and ice mix has begun to melt, turning some roads into lakes. At least 200 accidents were reported by police overnight and it's expected they'll be called to many more on Friday. Drivers are urged to leave early and plan for a much longer than normal trip. The snow ploughs and salters have been out all night trying to clear streets.
The sidewalks are hazardous too, with puddles of water collecting on icy patches.
A light rain is still falling across the GTA but it'll end mid-morning, giving way to two more centimetres of wet snow in the afternoon.
Heavy ice clinging to tree branches is causing them to break under the weight, coming down on power lines and bringing them crashing to the street.
Lines are down across the city including one that caught fire at Dundas and Ossington.
Hydro crews are being overwhelmed by the number or reports, with areas affected including Woodbine and Gerrard, Kingston Rd. and Lawrence, Mount Pleasant and Lawrence, and parts of Thornhill, Keswick and Stouffville.
Anyone that sees a downed power line is urged to stay away. So many are down, the city has issued a plea for you to stay home if you can and be extra careful if you can't. In the Toronto area - report downed or damaged wires as soon as possible to 416-542-8000. Outside Toronto, Hydro One customers are asked to call 1-800-434-1235 to report power outages and downed lines. |

You have the same paranoid attitude as those who look to blame 'bad' weather as an excuse to get a day off.

Yeah, everything is covered in ice in Dundas as well. It's 3 degrees outside, and raining, and everything is melting (incase you hadn't noticed). All I'm saying is the media builds things up to make you think it's a ing warzone outside which builds the mentality of most people to use that as an excuse. 'Oh the weather man told me I shouldn't go to work!' - that. |
