Half the town shut down today because of “snow”
It was a little bit of sleet and none of it stuck. I’d be perfectly fine with it if there wasn’t a huge issue with my project that required client sign off. All day I was trying to make sure I’d have staff on site when we finally got approval. Anyone else start the week off with a fun lil issue?

We SHOULD be ok

The client did approve our change, it’s just not fun to be in a constant state of emergency

This always makes me laugh when towns shut down because of the snow. I live in Iowa and we NEVER shut down. Even when there is like 8 feet of snow on the ground, it is business as usual.

I’ve been working for a small investment firm for about a year and am having some issues with my boss.

I already spoke with him about these issues, but things haven’t really changed. I really like the work I do but I’m starting to feel frustrated about the situation. Any advice? Or anyone else in a similar situation?
