We've just had the biggest dump of snow for the last 18 years, and as a result we've been stuck indoors for the last two days as it seemed safer than attempting to get out of the drive. That meant I had to work from home which I'm really not a fan of. Still, all things considered, it went pretty well and did go to prove that as far as IBM is concerned we can all function perfectly well when we're not all in the same building.
But it is pretty pathetic that such a small amount of snow can cause so much hassle when other countries can get five times as much with a lot less impact. The excuse is always that we're not used to it, but I prefer to think that it's actually down to organization, or lack of it. There was little sign of any coordinated effort to solve the problem, but just a lot of people complaining that 'someone else' hadn't done anything to actually solve the problem.
