Monday was a banking holiday. Thursday is hurricane Michael in CLT. Does it make sense to fly cross country if I don’t have any in-person meetings this week, just conf calls? (Cont.)

No, but get on the plane

Feels like it’d be looked down upon to not go, but also seems such a waste of time to fly so far to barely work in CLT for 24 hours (assuming weather makes me leave Wednesday night, assuming I can get a flight and not die in the airport) Plus it seems less productive as I’d be stuck on the plane instead of being able to be online and get client work done all hours of the day while being remote.
So - optics or common sense? What’s more important here?

Wait is this hurricane supposed to impact CLT? I’m flying there Thursday...wondering I should reschedule

Hurricane Michael is supposed to hit Thursday

I’m running one of the deals, semi running the other one and not doing much leading on the other one. Note: I was supposed to not be running any of these. Do I find a back up first or tell the partners first?

I just got hired for a government contract through Accenture for a Business Analyst role. Pay is $65 per hour. 3 year contract. Benefits too. No PTO. Holidays off with pay, after 90 days.
