Chris-Tien Jinn Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Mostly it is playing with air travel. My daughter finally got home to Lansing, MI after a weekend here - predications of heavy winds there. She'll be pissed if she can't work (grad students ... go figure). Co-workers had planes cancelled BEFORE they started their first legs out, which is nice. Hang tight you guys on the East Coast. I've been through hurricanes when I traveled for a living ... not fun.

Briguy Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Glad you were able to make it home Cline. My work goes off of a point system at if you reach 8 points they can say bye-bye, each each day of unscheduled absence or leaving early is a point, and a no call no-show is 3.5 points.As for your company, WTF. We have have storm warnings here and if I have had the ability to leave work early a couple of times and not go back in without any penalty other than no pay for time off. This was for minor snow storms, I left to follow or take other people home during these times (I moved here from an area where snow storms are normal and it a day or week of road closures can be expected at times). They have set it set up as a precaution to keep employees safe and not have them get in an accident, stranded, or put families in danger or any risk.

cline Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Storm is ashore. Expected in phila in a few hours but is now nor'easter so fingers crossed. Hit my favorite shore town pretty hard. Luckily work seems fully staffed so just got word I'm not expected in until tomorrow! Yea!!! Ate big paleo dinner. Red wine for our own hurricane party. Rest day luckily (lol). Keep fingers crossed to keep power, no flooding, etc. big surge of water expected up the Delaware river. I AM going the distance 'Cause all I wanna do is go the distance.

theatresara Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 I have a confesstion to make: I've let Sandy be a reason for a completely unhealthy day. I'm waiting out the storm with a coworker and we've been watching tv, eating horrible food, and working from home. I didn't plan it this way, but the isles of unperishable foods at the grocery store was horribly tempting and I had no self-control. So here's to tomorrow being a better day. And here's to the power staying on so I can take my epic salad to work tomorrow for lunch instead of something not good for you.

Gobnait Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 theatresara, I've lived here for three years and this is the first hurricane where I haven't spent my time buried in a heavy dead-tree book, whether conscious or drooling. (I'm talking physically heavy, for some reason I yank at the bound trilogy collection even when I just want the middle book.)This time it's caused several "we're too fucking logical for a decent fight" moments between me and hubby, or rather it's an excuse to exacerbate friction and all the complications that arise from not appropriately engaging in short-fuse nothing-squabbles.Third storm and I've adapted, this counts as his first storm so he needs a longer nap? I have conditions that affect my social awareness.

andygates Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 ...and that's the various Manhattan tunnels flooded, so it's nice healthy bikes for all.And hey, don't feel bad about today. Surprises like this are half the reason to get fit and strong. That makes it a game day, not a training day. Link to comment

Blaidd Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Hey all, thinking of you and praying for your safety. I've only been in a tornado once and I didn't even notice because it felt like a normal windy day here - go figure! Our wind is howling in at a ridiculous 70km/h in commiseration (nothing on what you have though). It's just a normal day here.

cline Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Went to bed as winds hit. Our street seems fine. Will know more when I venture out. Blocks nearby had knee high flooding but we are dry. Suburbs will have more damage. Shore is in bad shape. I AM going the distance 'Cause all I wanna do is go the distance. Nobody's ever gone the distance with Creed, and if I can go that distance, you see, and that bell rings and I'm still standin', I'm gonna know for the first time in my life, see, that I weren't just another bum from the neighborhood.

theatresara Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 I'm just outside of DC and am fine. There was some flooding in the city and power outages in Northern VA, but I have had no problems and even worked a full day of work today. Now I'm back in my apartment, watching Serenity, and eating a wonderful breakfast for dinner meal of eggs, spinach, and sausage.

61stRevolt Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 I live in the city suburbs... I didn't get hit too hard but my college is right near that dangling crane. Subways are closed, everything below 39th street is in the dark, trains aren't running. I'm not sure when school will be in session again! But all of my friends and family are ok, so that's all I could hope for. A big tree went down in my yard, just missed my neighbor's boat. And I have a big tree branch in my front yard, new lawn ornament! I invited my friends without power over for a TF2 LAN party. We're so cool. And nerdy.
