I am in Minnesota. I currently sit in my work truck outside an outlet mall waiting for a manager to come back and let me in so I can do some upgrades to their pos system.
See.. they closed early because it was “cold”. air temp at the moment is +4. Its not just one store. Everyone but one store closed at 4.
Ill say it. Many of us have turned in to a bunch of pussys. Yesterday was a complete waste to. Everyone canceled. I billed each and everyone one of them. My truck was warmed up and ready to go when the calls came in. I drove to two sites that didn’t bother to tell me not to go.
My contract says go unless they tell you otherwise. So I went.
My dad was stationed at Minot AFB in the late ‘60s - early ‘70s.
I remember getting on the school bus in -20 with blowing snow quite often. School was always open, regardless of the weather conditions. I walked home from school several days when it was -15 or -20 and the snow flakes hit my face so hard they stung.
We didn’t think a thing about it. That was just the deal.
The only exception was one Sunday morning when my sister and I were getting ready for Sunday school. CE trucks canvassed the neighborhood announcing that everyone must remain indoors because the wind chill was -77.
“Ill say it. Many of us have turned in to a bunch of pussys”
Is it that or is it just an excuse to knock off?
It it laziness rather than pussification?
By the way, it cooled down her where I am today. Only hit 69. It hit 80 yesterday.
Thats pretty bad in minn. Sorry to hear that 4 degrees is that big of a deal. The weather channel talking about danger, really hyperbole. Some Virginia schools opening late . Didnt when i was a kid. I guess they wanted a day off, because it hasnt snowed so far except nothernn va and mountains
