what? I don't even..

At least I'm not the only one who didn't get that!

It's the name of the storm. Because in Canada, we get as many blizzards as the US gets hurricanes. Maybe even more.

Ah, all is understood. Thank you

Why the hell was a tropical name given to a blizzard?

Just keep shoveling, just keep shoveling...

112: I live here and this is the first time they've ever even named a winter storm.. It wasn't even THAT bad, we only got about 15 inches.

112 - I heard The Weather Channel came up with the name Nemo as a marketing ploy. TWC has all the judgment of a 5-year-old who names her unicorn Horny. Good luck dealing with Horny, OP... er, Nemo. (Sheesh, now I'm doing it.)

Yeah, I get fired for that

My job doesn't let us call in when there's snow =( We need either a serious family emergency or to be dying.

Ditto. I work security and snow or not... someone has to be here during scheduled hours. But now I get to work straight through for the next 12 hours! 24 hour shift, I'm not sure what I've done to deserve this... apparently having a vehicle with 4 wheel drive :(

Psst...it's a joke, folks.

Not everyone works at places where you can just "call in sick" at any given time. I work in the ER, and if everyone did that, imagine how many lives will be lost and how many people will become more ill if my coworkers and I let weather control our lives. It is a matter of where your priorities lie, so rather than insulting those who put their jobs before their own safety, remind yourself that there are people out there that are much braver than you.

21- you got a few extra pounds I think you need a diet and not so much hibernation.

Yeongji - Thanks for the education about how ERs work. What would I ever do without you. There are several flaws with your argument - first, ER nurses and techs call in sick all the time. ALL THE TIME. Second, would you really want sick nurses and techs spreading their illnesses around to emergency patients, who tend to be elderly and sick to begin with? No. Third, I've slogged through more shitty weather than I'd care to discuss just to get to my hospitals on time. So don't go questioning my "bravery" or my work ethic. It was a ******* joke. It's not my fault you have no sense of humour. I see that the doctors aren't the only idiots working in the ER.

38 DICK! (without one, I bet)

Did Doc Bastard tell a joke? No of course not! Why would he have a sense of humor and go around telling jokes, or being sarcastic? Seriously people get it through your thick skulls to look one level deeper than what's on the surface.

Says the little boy who thinks he's Eminem... I don't know what I will do with myself... some little troll called me fat...

@21, why would you go completely off topic not to mention out of your way just to insult somebody.. I've only come up with three reasons. 1. You're 11 years old. 2. You're a shit talking bitch troll. 3. You're a shit talking bitch troll....

Ya 38. Why do you have to be such a douche?! Besides, I think ops pretty sexy!

@sonnyrosa Don't sweat the assholes. You look cute and I suspect you're not hurting for male attention. The tatas look fabulous

There are jobs where you are penalized for calling in sick... Like mine.

On weekends, there is only one security guard on duty. The guy who was supposed to be here now has to rely on the buses, and they've stopped running, and the poor guy's without power at his home. There are a lot of downed power lines in the city, lots of homes and businesses without power. Thank goodness for the generator!

You're the one stuck at the office overnight, and yet he's the "poor guy"? You must be one of the nicest people ever.
