I hope it melts a lot tomorrow! I went out tonight with my sister and it was almost to my knees. My car was covered in at least a foot of it.

If the weather stays as bad as it is, no one should try to get to work. Work's important, but not as important as keeping yourself safe.

true but as I work at a group home there has to be people here, and i made it in okay so yay!

and I just found out that I get 4 hours of pay for the night I was here plus the 2 when i stayed up working = 6 hours of ot yay money!!

I doubt I'll be going to work tomorrow if there's freezing rain. I just hope amtrak is running on tuesday.

I'll call in about 1 or 2 and decide if I am going in then or not >_>

Sayda · « **Reply #55 on:** December 21, 2008, 12:51:24 pm »

It's good you made it in. Does anyone know how the main roads are?

superjaz · « **Reply #56 on:** December 21, 2008, 05:42:15 pm »

nikkiolie · « **Reply #57 on:** December 21, 2008, 06:16:50 pm »

I didn't go to work today. Hopefully the snow and ice will melt some tomorrow and I can make it in

Trumby · « **Reply #58 on:** December 21, 2008, 06:58:06 pm »

Got a call today and no work for me tonight..no way I'm walking in like 7 inches of snow <.<

nikkiolie · « **Reply #59 on:** December 21, 2008, 10:50:35 pm »

Tell me about it. Though I always feel really bad. I mean I call in and people are there to answer the phone so they had to get there somehow >_>

Trumby · « **Reply #60 on:** December 21, 2008, 11:43:22 pm »

Haha, yeah. Luckily the place I work is good about this sort of thing. I couldn't imagine having a retail job and having to keep calling in o.o

uraharafreak · « **Reply #61 on:** December 22, 2008, 08:21:17 am »

Yeah got a call last night. No work for me today and maybe no work tomorrow. The problem with my job is that people keep canceling their parties and events, so no customers.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #62 on:** December 22, 2008, 09:50:03 am »

I haven't gotten a call but there is no way in hell that I am going to get my car out of the little ditch that the snow has made. I would have to use my moms car >_>

superjaz · « **Reply #63 on:** December 22, 2008, 06:15:26 pm »

my manager at work got chains so she could drive us to work and back and it took us 2 hours for me to get home because we got lost looking for a coworker to pick up, but i made it safly i gave her a ramune

nikkiolie · « **Reply #64 on:** December 22, 2008, 07:45:59 pm »

Didn't go to work again tonight. Probably wont go tomorrow but we'll see. The roads are requiring traction devices and none of out cars have anything like that >_> We have snow tires for one car but they aren't on

Deviant Spider · « **Reply #65 on:** December 22, 2008, 07:55:22 pm »

45 people called out at my retail store sunday. 34 called out today. Luckily I havent had to call out a single day. I keep picking on people saying "Im sick as a dog and nearly 6 months pregnant and I still made it in"

*Followed by, "well I didnt drive myself, my snow experienced fiance did, and we have a Jeep*

LOL. We keep offering rides to people, and he has helped MANY people get un-stuck, or into a parking spot, etc. Tis the time of year to help others who truly need it. (and who honestly shouldnt be driving in this mess.)

nikkiolie · « **Reply #66 on:** December 22, 2008, 10:08:24 pm »

I know I always feel so bad because when I call in someone is there to answer so they had to get there somehow. I feel like I can get to work but I am just not trying >_>

superjaz · « **Reply #67 on:** December 23, 2008, 07:32:12 pm »

we came so close to getting hit when we spun out of control today I started crying

and right after my manager called me and wants me to work a double on christmas eve

I have a hard time saying no to peeps but i am starting to get panic attacks when thinbking about driving

Sayda · « **Reply #68 on:** December 23, 2008, 07:39:23 pm »

Me too. Today was really scary. You could call back and tell her no, and that it's just too dangerous, and you don't want to risk it. If you mention the drive scares you, they might understand.

melchizedek · « **Reply #69 on:** December 25, 2008, 05:23:05 am »

I made it to work today, I parked my car a place where I could get it out. Yay!

jaybug · « **Reply #70 on:** December 25, 2008, 08:40:07 pm »

So it's still nasty up there? Good grief, nothing but rain for 3 days now. What snow? sigh

nikkiolie · « **Reply #71 on:** December 25, 2008, 08:41:44 pm »

Its been warming up lately. All that is left is snow on the ground. The roads should be much better by tomorrow and even better by Saturday when I have to go to work

Not sure this is the proper thread for this but what the hay. I went from Eugene to Waldport and back for Christmas. Road wasn't to bad going over, a little worse coming back. I took the road that runs by Alsea Falls, anyway, my cousin George was enroute to my Uncles place (Uncle lives across the street from my folks in Waldport) My cousin was coming from Powder, OR down the gorge and had gotten stuck on I-205 as he attempted to bypass Portland. He was on I-205 for 7 hours! He said the ice walls were so high you couldn't change lanes and the whole stretch was like a toboggan run. His entire trip took him 14 hours. Funny thing is that his daughter flew in from Boston and was at Corvallis before he got to my Uncles. She left after he did! It took her less time to travel across the US than it did for him to drive across the state. Thought I would share that with you all.

That is funny. The raods today wen't bad at all. The only bad roads that are left is neighborhood roads and parking lots.
