Sorry that happened OP. Let's hope you just weren't getting any reception and that your boss wasn't being a complete ass and leaving you out in the cold.

I think you need a blanket, a cup of cocoa, and to sit by the fire. Oh, but you need to cuss out your boss first, (in your head of course). :)

Always call to check beforehand. That was one wasted day.

Looking at your location.. I say its such a misery

If you drove, why did you have to stand outside freezing? Lol

should have called rather than emailing.

Can they compensate you for the money spent on gas/petrol?

I wonder why you were the only one that didn't get the memo. And then you conveniently get it only once you arrive.

Always check frequently it's a good way to find out if anything changes

Can't even text message or call? It's 2015 right..
