Hm.. So I commented on a conference call that had one person from NY/NJ on and one person from Boston about the whole sliding on ice because of sprinklers phenomenom in Texas. It is bizare to think about as a northerner since you drain your system in winter just because that is how is since the ground freezes and often times is covered with snow for long periods.
Just now my boss just calls and tells me since working from home worked out well he was talking to his boss and they said I should work from home if there are any problems with the weather or for any other reason I thought. Now perhaps their intention is that the only person who does my job in the company doesn't get go out on disability or some such but it works for me
Better to have a good boss then a good job
note: my old boss said the same thing when I used to drive but later I was the only person to show up in the snow/ice because I took my icebike to the station and everyone else stayed home.
