And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

How much have you gotten? It's coming down a little harder here, but nothing has accumulated.

We've got about this much:

Hard to judge accumulation with this much wind, but at least 6-8" so far and it's supposed to keep snowing until about midnight.

The nanny thing is ridiculous. If her kid(s) were in Daycare she would have to pay anyway unless she gave them a huge amount of notice.

Perhaps she and the nanny need to negotiate a "snow day" policy.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I should probably take advantage of the snow day and do laundry, but I really don't feel like it.

The whole let's-not-pay nanny thing is making my eyes roll a disturbing amount, especially considering I have no skin in the game. Aren't the nannies watching the most important parts of these parents' lives? Maybe they should be treated, and paid, accordingly?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

And teachers and tutors and librarians and and and ...

Trust my rage

And, unless you as the parent don't get paid for snow days, it's not like you are losing any extra money. re the parents complaining about themselves being unjustly enriched? I doubt it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Snow days are the worst when you get paid by the hour, for sure.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

If I were the Nanny and I was an hourly employee, I probably would not be expecting to get paid, so I would be REALLY HAPPY with the parents if they did pay me. Actually, I am pretty sure at my job I wouldn't get paid unless I came in even if there was a snow emergency. I think they would sent out a note saying that we might be allowed to use a vacation day.

More than likely, if you can afford a nanny, you aren't getting paid hourly. Or at least, that would be my guess.
