I think I'm still in the Utah state of mind when it comes to weather...

To me when I hear it's going to snow a lot I just think, "better bundle up to get to work." I don't even think in my mind that work may be cancelled because of the snow. On Friday, I trudged to work and it took me maybe 15 minutes longer than it usually takes me. I got to work and there was a voicemail left on my desk phone. I listened to it and was surprised to find out that the office was closed. I instant messaged my manager because I could see that she logged on. (yes, we use instant messenger within the firm, easy way to communicate). I said, "the office is closed?" she said, "yes, but if you stay you get overtime and money for lunch." So I said, "okay I'll stay." I thought I might as well since I trudged through all the snow to get there. I stayed for a few hours with nothing to do, and they sent me home. It took me about an hour to get home. I commuted for about 2 hours total and worked for 3. At least I worked a little longer than riding the subway. Next time it snows I'm going to call the office before I even leave:) I've lived in New York and have already had 2 snow days. In Utah, I cannot even remember having snow days.
