Question of the Week
Have You Ever Had to Fight Weather to Keep Working?
http://www.abajournal.com/weekly/article/have_you_ever_had_to_fight_weather_to_keep_working?utm_source=maestro&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=default_email
At the time of this writing, those of us in Chicago are knee-deep (at least) in snow. But ABAJournal.com soldiers on, even though most of us are working remotely. County courts were closed, but Mayer Brown, which has some of its worldwide information technology aspects centralized in the Windy City, put some staffers up in downtown hotels Tuesday night to keep the firm's "24-hour operation" running but officially closed the office for Wednesday.
As we read the headlines about this blizzard and remember the headlines and images from New York City's blizzard at the end of 2010, we want to ask: Have you ever had to fight weather to keep working? Have you been forced to get yourself somewhere even when it was truly unsafe to travel? Have you had to sleep at the office because of a natural disaster waiting to happen outside? Although we have blizzards on the brain, your horror stories from hurricanes, tornadoes and earthquakes are welcome.
Share your harrowing tales in the comments.
