spjunkies Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Smart moves guys. In a way I feel bad for my co-workers who were down to like 15 hours left, but it should never get that low IMO. (Excluding emergencies) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeInJc aka M.I.A. Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 It's part of the benefits of being a govie. We get paid less than contractors, so they have to give us some kind of perks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skins24 Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I have enough leave. I have about 130 hours... I have like 230+.... Not sure how that happened. I guess I should take a vacation... :whoknows: Radar update: No change in discussion: Long term /Tuesday night through Monday/... by 12z Wednesday...coastal low begins to bomb out east of the Delaware-Maryland-Virginia while deep upper low attains negative tilt as it sweeps across County warning forecast area. The combo of these two processes initiates strong cold air advection. The added effects of the dynamic and advective cooling would support steepened lapse rates...which will enhance accumulate amts and wipe out any dry slot. Model soundings depict a deep satd layer with ample lift with/in snow growth region Wednesday. To that end feel probability of precipitation/accums need to be increased. In particular...profiles in balt-wash metropolitan support periods of heavy snow Wednesday morning...W/ banded structures expeceted. Snowfall rates of 1-2 inches/hour realistic. Have added these features into the database. Anthr concern are winds...since surface p-gradient tight and strong 800 mb winds should effectively mix to surface. That will make blowing/drifting snow an added concern. Too far out to address headline-wise...there/S the potl it may have to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeInJc aka M.I.A. Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 :bsflag:More benefits though. so you're telling me that it's BS that a contractor doing the same job as me makes anywhere between 20 - 40K more a year? If you're so bitter about govie benefits why don't you just come over to the darkside and become a govie;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btubes18 Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 so you're telling me that it's BS that a contractor doing the same job as me makes anywhere between 20 - 40K more a year? If you're so bitter about govie benefits why don't you just come over to the darkside and become a govie;) I am seriously contemplating it...they will match my current salary...having to use my PTO days is really starting to hurt.

boysetsfire Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 So i'm helping my dad out by plowing. I seriously don't know what to do if it snows 10-20 inches. It was trouble enough finding spots to put the snow from the last storm. Add another 1 or 2 feet to that? Ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little snow is just a nuisance that you have to trek through. If it's gonna snow I want the area shut down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
