ravena_kadeToday a coworker emailed the boss early to see how we would be handling the storm. The coworker lives in Rhode Island and has only has lived up North for 2.5 years and has never experienced the type of snow they are predicting. Her kid's schools have already closed. She does not want to come in Monday so she sent the email as soon as she came in.
The boss emails me saying that she spoke to the coworker and we may either close the credit union Monday or have a delayed opening. She asked what I wanted to do; work remote or take vacation time. She also asked what I was working on today. I told her that I finished the CPA audit evidence gathering this morning...a full week ahead of schedule, working on the monthly audit committee, and finish updating the system with the new budget figures for all the general ledger accounts. I also wanted to work remote Monday... as long as I have power. She comes back and says that she will make a work plan for me so I am absolutely productive all day. Ummm...WTF. Who says that? The last week of the month I prep the all the reports for the first week of the month. This month I need to update everything for 2026. I know my job. I wanted to tell her to stuff the spurs up her ass. My coworkers tell me that the last 2 guys that had my job slept at their desks most of the day. I let it go because I know she likes the last word... the problem is that I also like the last word ;-)
Later I asked her if her area in Maine will be hit with the storm. She said yes. She was happy that she planned on not coming in the office until Tuesday. Then just before I left for the day she texts me saying that she will contact me Sunday night about the weather. Umm...why? There is a Nor Easter hitting a great swath of the country. They are predicting 18 to 24 inches of snow. There is going to be weather. I can work remote...just like she is going to do. Next time I'll take the PTO time.
