Comments on: Ice day http://blog.xcski.com/2007/01/16/ice-day Everything I used to bore people on newsgroups and mailing lists with, now in one inconvenient place.

And today they sent out a "clarification" that emphasizes the official policy that 24 hours written notice is required to *request* to be allowed to work from home. When I said the National Weather Service rarely gives 24 hours notice, she updated that to say that "of course management can/will make exceptions". Hello? If there are exceptions, then don't make the written policy document say that 24 hours notice is mandatory. You can hardly blame people for ignoring the policy document if the managers don't follow it either. You may very well ask “WTF”, since she sits about 10 metres from me.

And "What part of "ice day - police ask people to stay off roads if they can" did she not understand, but then I remembered that I have no idea where your official supervisor is located, and for all I know she lives someplace where ice is only something you put in a drink. But still, assuming the added context of "ice storm" was provided, WTF? I was about to WTF?
