Why did I go to work?
Jan. 25th, 2005 06:16 pmThis was such a freaking waste of a day. I went into work at 8:45am and was told that since BPS was cancelled, my playgroup was cancelled. This left me nothing to do until 1:45pm, when I was going to attempt a home visit. I ended up helping out some coworkers by dropping them off and picking them up at an assessment (because there was no parking). At 12:30pm or so, my 1:45 mom called me to tell me she needed to reschedule because she had another appointment. I then called my 4:00 appointment and asked them what their roads looked like, and they told me not to even bother trying to drive out there because it was so bad. I hung around the office but I had absolutely /nothing/ to do and nothing to catch up on, since all of my appointments cancelled last Friday and I did all my busywork then. So I called my 5:15 appointment and left a message saying I was cancelling because of the weather, because I couldn't sit around work anymore - by 3:00 I was ready to pull my own hair out.
Many of my coworkers attempted visits only to come back to work because they couldn't find any parking at their visits. There was still a parking ban on the major roads today, and the residential roads are all covered with snow and parking space markers. My supervisor is all smug about all of this and doesn't seem to understand our frustration. Maybe it's because he only has about 10 clients and also has a 4wd vehicle. Our Director is pretty furious about the whole thing, because she's probably tired of hearing everyone's complaints, and besides, it's not /her/ decision whether we have to be open or not. (Our parent agency makes those decisions, even though they don't have to do any home visits.)
I honestly don't know what they expect us to do. I'm going to attempt all 5 of my visits tomorrow, but since the weather-people are expecting another 6" of snow to fall tomorrow, it's only going to get worse. I didn't think it could really /get/ worse, but I could be so, so wrong. I am so very unhappy right now - about the weather, about my job, about everything.
Suck.
