    California definitely has littered oregon with a bunch of moronic drivers.

    KPTV showed a brand new BMW suv that flipped on its roof. Doesn't matter if you can drive in the snow if the person behind you can't.

    Actually the position that I'm hoping to move up to is a full-time work from home position, so I'm getting a chance to prove that I can get stuff done from home.

    Good for you. Hope you get it. That makes sense for you then.

    But in most organizations, what i said absolutely rings true.

    I could work from home if the company I work for would let me, but I have to agree that I am not sure how much I could actually get done with the wife there, and my youngest kid or both if its not summer as well. I fell like I would need a dedicated office space that I could lock myself in and play loud music or have head phones on at all times haha

    The career that I'm angling for involves a lot of fieldwork and outreach, so it's essential to show that you can be productive on your own away from the office. I understand though how that would be unique compared to most jobs.

    I'm my own boss, so I don't have that worry. Well, me and about 50 clients who expect me to get their stuff done. Fortunately, I can multi-task, baby.

    The VPN is slow as hell, so I keep it open on my other screen so I don't kill myself from boredom.

    You're better off using public transit.

    you valley guys make me laugh. I mean I get the whole "its not me I'm worried about its other people" but still, how much did you even get over there? we got over a foot in less than 24 hours, and that was before our last 6-8" had even melted off all the way.

    And you guys who think it has anything to do with the actual snow accumulation crack me up. It has nothing to do with how much snow fell. I didn't drive yesterday and I left work early because I have lived in Portland all my life and I know that if even an inch or two falls, the city will come to a complete stop. It has more to do with how our infrastructure was designed. Freeways were closed because trucks lost traction and blocked all the lanes. We have one of the worst freeway systems in the country. It took people hours to get home. I have seen it before many times, and I know what to expect, so as soon as it started snowing I bolted. I'm not sitting in traffic for 4-5 hours. Not happening.
