    I'm curious. How many of you local board members had to brave the snow and go to work or school today?

    I work from home so my commute is pretty easy. On the other hand, no snow day for me.

    I can work from home, so that's my plan for today. Working from the VPN sucks though. It slows everything down considerably.

    My kids are home from school, so of course I got the heck away from them and headed in to the office.

    A little snow isn't going to keep me from going to work and shirking my responsibilities.

    She needs to get you out of the house before Slypokerdog arrives.

    If I have an excuse to work from home, why would I go in to the office? My usual commute is an hour each way.

    Not talking about working from home. But i am honestly against working from home. Its ridiculously stupid because nothing gets done.

    It's not the drive, it's the people who don't know how to drive in this stuff is why it's best to stay home.

    Tax accounting.

    You "can" get stuff done, but most people that work from home get nothing done.

    And if you wanna move up in your organization, working from home aint the way to do it.
