Today, I had to drive to my workplace in blizzard conditions. Now that my 12 hour shift is over, I can't get out of the building, as the snow has blown into large drifts in front of the doors. I have to stay overnight until my next 12 hour shift. FML

I'm sure there are labor laws that are supposed to prevent stuff like this, but when the roads are closed, and no one can get in (even the buses have stopped running, and a lot of people reply on those to get to work), there's nothing that can be done. I'm stuck here, but I'm getting paid for it... hopefully, this snow crap stops before tomorrow morning, otherwise, I'll be stuck again. It's still coming down like mad :S

That is just, awful. I mean, at least you'll for sure get to work the next day and can make money. Make the best of it, build a fort or something haha

Hailing from Nova Scotia as well. It's hell out there! I live in the city so its getting cleared and the buses are still running decently i guess. I hope you get out of there. I would force my way out and walk. I refuse to sleep or stay at work beyond my shift though.

Some of the buses to the more remote areas of the city have stopped running for today. The guy who was supposed to relieve me lives out in East Lawrencetown... he wasn't able to get in to work today. I definitely can't walk home in this though... I live out Bedford way and I work near Woodlawn Rd.

Ouch. Yeah that's quite a bit away. Damn, wish i had a 4x4 to drive people around. I'd make a killing today. I'd brave death and sore feet than stay at my work though, haha, that's just me :P

Thanks to you and your company for your diligence op. I can't live without your spoon-forks, and I can still stretch your blue jean-sweat pants over my fat ass, although it would be nice if your company made some fabric cleaner that would work on spring cheese.
