That is some serious bullshit, I'm sorry you're dealing with that.
I want the freebie kind of snow day where everyone gets paid because it's not safe to be on the roads. Is that not the norm?
That's how most companies around here are. If you can't come in due to weather conditions and are unable to work from home, you are required to use PTO. This sucks because I'm kind of new to this company and I'm having to build up PTO for festival season. So, I'll be at the office weather be damned.
That seems pretty shitty, doesn't that encourage people to risk life and limb just to come in and do a half-assed job (since I'm assuming other offices/people are out)?
We had some crazy wild fires here a while back, and even the really terrible company I previously worked for covered a couple days out for everyone. I even got a lecture from HR for coming in for a half day (even though my BOSS had asked me to come in to help ship out some World Series products, which were time sensitive).
Do they have a dental college near you? When I didn't have insurance that is what I did. It is usually super cheap and they have the instructors there, so you aren't getting totally shoddy work done.
there is! and the U of M is a really good dental school. I'll try there.
can I like, get quotes from places? I don't want to get my bill and it be like "SURPRISE THIS IS $800!!!!!!!!!" I don't think it'll be that much... I looked up the ranges for this kind of thing and I think I would be on the lower end like $100-$300... but I want to be sure first. haha
My dentist is pretty awesome and will put me on a payment plan. But you can call the college and tell them what is wrong to see if they will do it and how much. I want to say I got a filling once for like $30 from the dental school here.
Move to Tennessee? But really, you don't want this mess. I've been stressed all week because our office isn't closed, so we have to take PTO or make up the time. I'm worried that I won't be able to make up the time and will have to take PTO, which will cut in to the Girlchella trip Which means I'd have to reschedule my flight and cut a day or so off my trip. So snow days are really more stress than they are worth.

If you work for a really cool, understanding company, then it may be the norm. But unfortunately, I don't work for one of those We were joking today that apparently our jobs are so essential that we HAVE to be here FIGHTING FRAUD. They even declared a state of emergency in TN, and the office still didn't close. Our home office is in Virginia, so I'm not sure if they make the call or if someone local makes the call. But this whole "come to work even if you have to ski here" policy is company-wide. They have a lot of snow/ice in the DC area right now, too and I know the offices there aren't closed either.
I knew if I couldn't get to work today, I would have a meltdown because I would have to take a day away from Girlchella, no way to make up 30 hours. But I made it!

That is really shitty. We wouldn't be able to work from home due to the way that my company is setup. It really sucks for days like yesterday (Mardi Gras), because only our office is closed due to the party that is literally where we work. My boss puts in a PTO request for everyone in the office, but then we get a free day off at our liking. I was already sick this year, so that day was my freebie day.
At least if the Boston Bruins don't make the Stanley Cup Playoffs, I won't really have to be worried about catching games/updates at Bonnaroo. This season has sucked.

haven't had that privilege as a wild fan quite yet. that'd be the most torn i'd ever be about being at bonnaroo

I had tickets to Game 1 of the 2013 Finals that I had to sell because the person I was going to Roo with didn't want to leave Chicago late in the evening. That game was the 3OT thriller. I lost radio signal in the first period and the kid I went with was a total POS. I still regret the decision.
In 2010, my Roo crew watched the Hawks win the Stanley Cup at a bar and left straight for Roo from the bar. That was much more enjoyable.
I guess it varies from year to year, but last year I remember hearing the Kings won the final while we were actually at Bonnaroo. If the Bruins ever made the Final, I'm not sure what I would do. I'd be so torn. I think they usually have the game playing on a screen somewhere.

they had games on last year at kallipoe, but i don't THINK they did in 2014, i'm sure somebody will correct my incorrect info. so who knows really
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.

the year the pens won the cup, they weren't playing the nhl games anywhere. i wore my malkin shirt that day and looked for strangers in pens gear. spent the night wandering around in a group looking for someone with a radio. we all sat in the field by the other tent and one guy called his girlfriend at home and she let us listen to the last ten minutes or so on speakerphone. they won, we all hugged and cheered, then watched the end of beastie boys together before going our separate ways. it was a great experience for my first bonnaroo.

That sounds like an amazing experience. I wore my Bruins shirt last year and got a lot of compliments. I also got plenty of "Fuck the Bruins!" yelled my way, but I've come to expect that as a Bruins fan.
Not really sure where to post this so I'm going to spam it here. This is my bands first demo. We are called Big Lunch. My music is what I've been working on since I got home a few weeks ago. A decent amount has been recorded all around and other songs are in progress, but this is the first complete song. Recording the vocals was very hard and I think quality wise it's the worst part. This is the only song we have without a name so we're calling it "No. 1 Hit Single." Let me know what you think as I am dying for some feedback. Thanks!
"Do you ever do laundry and notice some clothes stick to other clothes when they come out of the dryer?... Yeah, I wore a thong in the armpit of my sweater all day at school. And didn't notice till I got home."
A lady was walking around work with a bit of dirt on her forehead. I was extremely confused and almost said something, but then I realized that it is Ash Wednesday.

So I guess I had a fairly significant amount of corn in my jacket pocket at work yesterday... that's what I get for re-wearing a jacket I got wasted in a few nights before. I'm really hoping nobody noticed.
Ok, so this is one of those stupid FB share things... except it's not so stupid. According to the responses on my friend's post, there are a lot of varied answers:

It's the heel or the end depending on which one pops into my head first.
Also add to it that it's so infrequent for us to get these kind of conditions that no on has vehicles equipped with snow tires or chains. Heck, we hardly have ice scrapers or snow shovels.
Ya i just like to be a jerk to Dave. I lived in Charlotte and didn't even own a winter coat. I get it. Just can't pass up the chance
