Friday snow....

OK, so last Thursday night I tried to gather my things from work so I could work from home on Friday. We were expecting heavy snow Thursday night into Friday morning, and when there is that kind of snow I don't like making the drive to work as it usually ends up being in the neighborhood of a 2+ hour drive. In my haste to get out of work and head home I forgot my wallet in my desk draw. Of course I did not realize this until I was 30 minutes away! I turned around to get it. Otherwise I would have been without it until Monday! Way to go droop!

So, I woke up to snow and decided I was going to work from home. I have to say the commute when I work from home is the best! I started working around 8:00, I had some data I needed to download from a local weather station. Around 9:00 I decided to call into work, just to check in... no answer!?!? So, I checked to local radio's website to see if we had a delayed opening. There were other government offices listed but we were not listed... interesting. I figured I call around 10:30, assuming a 2 hour delay, no answer in the Engineering department, no answer in the clerk's office, and no answer in the planning office. Maybe they open at 12:00. 12:00 rolls around and I make the calls and no answer. That does it. I'm not working! I finally get a call around 3:30 saying we were closed for the day and not to work for the day! Gee thanks a lot! Turns out the township relies on Reverse 911 and the system is only as good as the data.. garbage in, garbage out. They did not have my number correct! We'll see what happens next snowstorm...
