raBBit Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Anyone else having wifi outages at home? Can’t even work from home right now might have to go to Starbucks but their phones are down so I’m not sure they’re open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a lot of places in the loop are closed today (can't confirm myself but heard from others talking about it on the train home last night).

Not sure how long it’s going to last since it’s only going to get colder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless the work is super urgent, I'd hope you would get a pass on today just because of the conditions. IMO no one should really have to go to a Starbucks as a last resort for work, unless it actually cannot wait. Stay warm buddy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The conditions have to be very specific and it rarely happens here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
