Inform you of what? You know where the place you will be working at is located before you get the job... |

Re: Hey na, hey na, my power\'s back!
Update: The wind and rain got to Baltimore at about 2pm, so we headed south west for home. The weather got worse the farther we went. Got home at 4 and lost the power at 4:20. Then my damn old a$$ generator wouldn’t start! Got it going at 7, but it is running kind of poorly. I think it does not like the designer (low sulfur) fuel that we have here now. At times the wind is blowing more than 45mph, that’s as high as my weather station can read. And the already soaked ground is no holding any of the rain. So by morning I think we will have some stream flooding.

I think he was speaking to GW's post 
But a nation wide IT union would be cool. Might be able to do something about IT outsourcing with it.

Re: Hey na, hey na, my power\'s back!
Hey, I was just looking at the radar, and some of you guys in Ohio and even south central Canada are going to get to experience the storm. Outer band is in Ohio now, and the storm is picking up ground speed. It also has yet to turn back to the NNE.

Re: Hey na, hey na, my power\'s back!
well, yeah. closing someone's job down and not telling them about it in advance is wrong.

Re: Hey na, hey na, my power\'s back!
Yeah, they should let you know in advance, so that you don't waste your time driving out there and then find out that it's closed.

Re: Hey na, hey na, my power\'s back!
It's official - my power went out as of 4:30 yesterday EST (before the major effects of the storm had even gotten here!). I'm using the computer at work to do quick notices to friends and family that I will be incommunicado - for probably 3-7 days. Yep, days, until the power comes back. I have e-mailed my PBW games and asked for clemency in ALPU.
I'll be back when you see me.
