I got called in to work tonight, smh I don't want to drive in this
 
HAHA
you valley guys make me laugh. I mean I get the whole "its not me I'm worried about its other people" but still, how much did you even get over there? we got over a foot in less than 24 hours, and that was before our last 6-8" had even melted off all the way.

And you guys who think it has anything to do with the actual snow accumulation crack me up. It has nothing to do with how much snow fell. I didn't drive yesterday and I left work early because I have lived in Portland all my life and I know that if even an inch or two falls, the city will come to a complete stop. It has more to do with how our infrastructure was designed. Freeways were closed because trucks lost traction and blocked all the lanes. We have one of the worst freeway systems in the country. It took people hours to get home. I have seen it before many times, and I know what to expect, so as soon as it started snowing I bolted. I'm not sitting in traffic for 4-5 hours. Not happening.

oh I know, I see it every time it happens. I was speaking in general terms, like the fact that it snows and you have to alter your life to work around it because of all the idiots out there. I actually grew up in the valley so I have been there through stuff like that as well. its just silly to me is all I am saying.

so why walk when I can drive in it!? that's way more fun. I actually enjoy driving around in the snow and low traction situations, always gives me the giggles.

Yes, well. Or at least close to D&D. There are costumes. Leather. Whips. Your basement.

And Mrs. HCP.

Exactly. I know a girl who got hit yesterday by a couple people in traffic, one of which drove away, and it took her 7 hours to get from Wilsonville to Vancouver.

That's what I don't get, why the fuck did she even try to make that drive?

Well, it's not like the snow was a surprise. They had been predicting it for at least 3-4 days. People still drive. I don't get it.

It was a pretty easy storm to figure out. You could see it slowly coming up from Eugene, then Salem. Oh, snow in Salem? I should leave before it gets to Wilsonville.

Sometimes you cant. When i worked for a CPA firm, they would laugh at you if you wanted to go home early and say no. It just was not accepted whatsoever.

Frankly, I think you should be able to bill the company for the time you spend sitting in the car if they make you stay.

Thats a good way of getting fired at a CPA firm.....

Just the nature of the beast.

So, how long until you tell them to shove it and open your own practice?

It happens often. Usually people end up staying at a CPA firm for 2-5 years after college then go elsewhere (unless they are on the fast track to partner).

Most end up at private companies, govt entities or open their own business.
