Over at Jobacle.com, Andrew's got a rant up about why commuting in horrible weather is a bad idea. More to the point, he wants more snow days from his employer and has some great reasons backing him up:
- 25% of car accidents are weather related
- It's stressful (I'm going to be late anyway! I need to get someone to watch the kids since school is closed!)
- It's distracting. Is anybody's productivity good on days like these? Half the workforce decided to stay home, and the rest of us are, I don't know... posting to our blogs or something.
Personally I did hike it into work. Me in Massachusetts with the hour and a half commute on a good day. Here's how I described the drive to my wife: "Not treacherous. I didn't spin out or have to hit the brakes and hope I skid to a stop in time." She responded by saying, "That's how you judge a snow day? Near death experience?"
Truthfully I dragged myself into the office because I plan on taking a work from home tomorrow and I didn't want to be seen as the guy that abuses that privilege.
