marcicatThe good news: Our area has been downgraded from 'Winter Storm Watch' to 'Winter Weather Advisory,' and the estimated snow totals have dropped to 3-6 inches. Which really isn't that much, but it sounds like driving could potentially be a tricky situation pretty much all day.
The bad news: I hate driving in snow.
The good news: Technically, we're allowed to work from home.
The bad news: We've never tried it before with our current system.
The good news: I just tried it. It works, for a certain definition of working that includes "very slowly."
The bad news: At work, we have two monitors, probably one 15" and one 17." (They don't match. Yeah, it's a thing.) At home I have one 13" laptop. What *really* makes it great is that the remote login screen is actually EVEN SMALLER than my laptop screen. So you're trying to do two monitors worth of work in one 7x10" rectangle. With a time lag. While you're on the phone.
The good news: I actually brought home all my papers and notebooks, which historically means I will not need them.
