    a little venting..

    sorry for venting but i have some steam to blow off

    sitting here at work.. theres 12+ inches of snow that has fallen already, theyre calling for an additional 6-10 inches, declared state of emergency and banned driving in delaware (which is about 15 minutes from me) and our regional manager (who is nowhere near the snow) has decided that we will stay open for business. for lunch out of 12 employees between our two stores here, i was the only one who could make it to the grocery store for food.. the grocery store is less than 200 yards from our door. even me driving there was treacherous because there is more or less 0 visibility and when i got there, they were shutting down because power has been in and out for the last few hours at their store as well as ours. its unsafe, and i can guarentee they wont pay to have my vx replaced if god forbid i wreck on the way home when i finally get to leave.. AT 8PM! @$^%#&@$#%

    ya, trust me. its not worth it....

    thats EXACTLY how i got into my accident. errands had to be run for work in a severe storm and some jack@$$ in a yukon ended up sliding into my VX... the drivers fender was screwed up since...

    be careful. its not worth your baby.

    JUST saw on live TV a 50 car pileup in your vicinity in PA, 15 hospitalized....tell your boss they're nuts to keep you there (ok, maybe word it a bit nicer to keep your job)...surely no customers will be coming by!

    Don't know the specific Workers' Comp laws in PA, but some states they have to cover you door to door.....now wouldn't it be a stupid decision for your boss to keep you all if that's the way PA WC laws are?

    from what ive been told closing the store early is a just about a fireable offense.. ive been on the phone with a few different higher ups.. all agree with me, but final say is regional manager (who nobody seems to have heard from in a while) so here i sit

    Look Eric:

    With blizzard conditions in central Pennsylvania, Gov. Ed Rendell this afternoon ordered the closings of Interstates 83, 78, and part of 81, as well as I-76, I-476 and I-676 in Philadelphia area and I-176 south of Reading.

    Interstate 81 is closed from the Maryland line to Interstate 80.

    I would tell your regional manager to put that in his pipe and smoke it.

    If the management doesn't care about the safety of it's workers, you don't want to work there anymore.

    Get home safe.

    America is the country of litigation isn't it??? Go home. If he fires you, surely you have grounds to sue? Especially as you've had managers saying they agree with you??? Oh and if he asks you for a lift home....

    HAHAHAH GOD I LOVE THE LOWER 48!

    If only I could still have snowdays (like in school) *day dreams*

    No such thing as shutting work down due to snow here, maybe the power but not just snow.

    Driving banned? Really? Who's going to catch you? LMAO you guys are funny down there. Personally I would be tearing up the roads with no one on them... That sounds like FUN! Downtown drifting here I come!

    Sorry, now I must vent. First off, Eric, glad your home safe and sound.
    AlaskaVX,... Well, I'll try and be nice. First off, Alaska lives in that crap, what, 6+ months of the year. You have the equipment to deal with it. You have drivers that know how to deal with it. We in the lower 48 have boneheads to deal with, cities that are broke and have sold off the equipment to deal with it.

    Back off
    Greetings, Earthling. We come in peace... Never mind "Paris to Dakar", the VehiCROSS looks ready for the Martian desert.
