Argh!
What's with the way the country's locked up completely thanks to Snow?
This is obviously as symptom of the New Labour pro-snow bias that is grinding this once great blah blah blah blah blah...
Seriously, five inches fell in Mum and Dad's back garden while I was watching the Superbowl (the only game of American Football I watch each year). That is a serious amount, and clearly causes problems of a very real kind that stop people being able to get to work and do what they normally do every day.
Of course, if companies allowed people more scope to work at home or on the move, they wouldn't be quite so crippled by a sudden change in weather (since the workforce could send in their work anyway from a different location).
I wonder if any will look at lost value from yesterdays snow day and think to themselves that a flexible attitude to worker locations may be worth the investment?

You know, Algo. This is exactly the thing I posited in a little Posterous blog I wrote yesterday (while working from home)

P.S. Loved your Facebook pictures throwing Snowballs..
They're fakes. We were actually building a Snowlady in the back garden.
ReplyDeleteJust thought the larger snowball (which was eventually the "torso") looked so much like snowball overkill I'd post that thought.
As for the post - great minds think alike don't they (just like we do!)
Didn't even know you had a sixth blog. Will bookmark it now.
