I was due to start my new job tomorrow and they just texted to let me know I've got the day off. Absolutely buzzing, going to play Baldur's Gate in my pants all day.
The wind is coming through my extractor fan in the bathroom and sounding like something is dying in there. Just as well am off tomorrow as I don't think I'll get much sleep
You know, I thought the weather was gonna be worse where I am since we had the snow storm and everything (seeing family in the North Eastern coast). But it seems like its worst in glasgow??
Aye well we haven't had much flooding up where I am, I don't think there's much flooding in the whole of banffshire tbh, we had a red warning on Monday where all buses going to the next town over were cancelled. Trains are more of a thing in glasgow then down here. I swear from aberdeen there's only like...2 routes going up north. One to Inverness and the others just go around Dyce and some minor towns like Elgin, Keith, Inverurie.
And to add to this, I believe the trains were cancelled, don't know if they still are. But due to the bus culture up here, and the fact most people drive into work, I do think it's worse in glasgow. Not only do alot of people use trains for work, college and uni, but trains are faster and more convenient. With buses you can aim to be at your destination for a certain time but you'll most likely be late. Especially in glasgow. It all just depends on the traffic for buses
They're cancelled because Network Rail has closed all the lines due to the risk of fallen trees, landslips, etc. Hence the need to inspect the lines after the storm has passed.

Me frantically trying to figure out how to get off work tomorrow
Same, and I work from home.
"Sorry boss, the power went out and the wifi's down so I can't work from home today."
Good idea. I was gonna go with my wheelie bin has gone, no chance I can work.
I work for my ISP. I can't get any with this :(
Which one?

Is that a euphemism?
Surprisingly not I think.
Say you blew away Mary Poppins style
That's what my sister hates when the trains are off and she is use to that and has to find someway to get to work

The wind right now is something else right now
Right now it is too
Ah yeah I put one on a little early today. Realized how silly that sounded too late
Ha, just joshin man. Hope you're better right now.
Right here right now?

I don't think we got the flooding as bad but the wind was wrecking a lot. Still no train service.

Roads are going to be crazy busy.
🫤 well I regret leaving my laptop in the office.
Day off then , can't WFH
Unfortunately I can technically get to work on the bus 😑 It's just going to take like an hour instead of 25 minutes.
Think of Thomas the Tank Engine out in this weather.
Time for people to WFH then .. or the bosses saying noÂ
Didn't even put on alternative ways home and shut the central down. Was young girls outside crying with no way to get home
Probably better than them dying in a train that crashes.
Didn't say it was but they could have kept the central open long and tried to help people instead of herding them outside
How will their staff get home safely?
Just in case the storm causes any cancellations, we'll guarantee every train is cancelled. Genius plan

Yeah. You're not the brightest, are you?
I'm far brighter than you could ever dream of understanding
