First Snow

Happy Monday Morning!

I’m so grateful I don’t have to make the commute. My colleagues driving up from Albuquerque came in this morning with stories of 2 1/2 hour commutes, black ice, cars sliding off the freeway and one rolled car. I wish, wish, wish I could allow my Albuquerque employees to work at the Albuquerque office. There’s an Albuquerque office, but we still make them drive to Santa Fe! The most I can allow them to work at the Albuquerque office is 2 days a week, as per state policy. The other 3 days they have to make the commute to Santa Fe.

The tasks my team is responsible for could easily be done at home, but whatever. That’s certainly not an option that I’m able to authorize. But if I was making the decisions, there’s no way my team would be out driving this morning.

This is just a wee little bit of snow. But sometimes that’s the worst kind, when accompanied by black ice.
