I never made it into work today and it is already 11 am. The storm is still going strong but I am having extreme anxiety about not making it to work. I know there are a few coworkers who made it in and I feel like I should be there. It would be nice if I could just relax and enjoy a snow day but it is causing me so much anxiety being home knowing I should be at work. Still cant figure out how i would get there because there are no buses, no cabs and they still haven't plowed the roads where I live and now it is freezing rain on top of the snow.

@Happy2BeMe That's good, I imagine that the customers also cannot get there.

I called and talked to one of the guys at work who was there and then I felt better. He told me not to bother coming in because he thought they might close early.

Here too much is cancelled and closed. I will try going out for a little walk and see first-hand how bad it really is. Ciao!

@Happy2BeMe It was a bit slippery and at times I had to walk on the street because some sidewalks had not been cleared of snow and after 20 minutes I took a bus that passed by. It was a bit risky to keep walking.

Stop being anxious! It's not your fault! What were you supposed to do, dogsled to work?

@Happy2BeMe you must be a manager because you were promoted for your hardwork and dedication.

Its what corporate world does takes the humanity out of life. When you get older, you will say I am good, its your ways not working and call them out when necessary. They make us feel anxious for no reason. Hey boss I may not be there now but least be there tomorrow to keep this company moving.

We just finished shoveling... and found 2 inches of ice under the snow on our driveway. If everything else is cancelled... I would just wait it out!!

I used to be the same way when I was working. When the weather prevented me from getting to work it would make me so anxious that I couldn't enjoy being home. I am sure that you place of work is aware of the conditions. Hopefully you can relax enough to enjoy at least a little part of your day.
