I had to come in as well.
Started at 7am.
Had to get up at 5:15am to make it down here.
Great thing was the drive in! Why can't everyday have all the idiots stay at home and leave the roads empty for the real drivers!
What usually takes me 40-45min's, I did in 30min's flat. I wasn't breaking any land speed records. Just leave the car on cruise at 120km/h.
Amazing when you don't have to deal with stupid drivers!

Lucky me I get to go home at 2:30pm today. I had some last minute things to take care of on Friday which kept me at work longer than I should. So today I get to go home early.

C'est la vie...

Most U.S. companies are open for Presidents Day. Mostly it's just goverment offices and public schools are closed.

you bastids.. I have to work as well, since the railway is federally regulated! Worst yet is... I'm in some -20 degree work environment right now. I'm not even in Toronto!

Go and google map where "Sioux Lookout, Ontario" is!!!
