He lives a couple blocks from our office (which is in town) while I live out in the country on a road that never gets plowed and have a nightmare of a driveway to get up and down. But back in his day, people just went to work no matter what. No excuses. Etc. etc.

    He actually refused to believe that my driveway is as bad as it is and then one day he told me that he "somehow ended up on our road by accident and yeah, it is pretty steep". You don't just end up on my road by accident, but I was actually glad that he had finally seen it for himself. Not that it mattered.

    Okay. Enough bitching.
    I've read quite a few horror stories you've posted/tweeted about your boss.. Guy sounds like a dbag

    A lot of those were pretty funny. My 2 favorites were "Close your door" and the last one where you could just see the truck coming down the hill towards the camera.

    Honestly though, a lot of those could have been avoided. People were coming up to that one busy intersection WAYYYY to hot.

    What can we expect in the Winter of 2013?

    What are your predictions?

    Average winter IMO. However with weak to moderate El Ninos there is a greater chance for big storms. So not constant snow like we saw in the middle of last decade where it was just always spittin stuff out. It all depends on what are called blocking patterns. Last year was a La Nina and we all thought it was going to be a brutal one. However the blocking pattern that setup kept all that arctic air in Canada, hence the record breaking snowfall in Alaska, and kept it warm and sunny here. Usually those patterns do not last an entire season

    It's hot because of man. It's cold because of man. Man not winning.
    Climate may be changing but man releases barely any CO2 compared to what the oceans do. 90% of all CO2 comes from them. Also it was a La Nina last season, not an El Nino

    He definitely is. My job does have it's perks, though which is why I am still here.

    I'll take shoveling snow over mowing grass anytime.

    Mowing doesn't kill your back after a while.
  • bigkahuna
    Neither does shoveling if you have a snow blower.

    I'd rather bust my ass in the cold than in the heat. LOL
