Fairfax County Government OPEN

Seriously, I've never known them to close. This is a bit of bull. My office goes by the County Govt, not the schools or fed governement. What the F is so important for Fairfax to be open tomorrow when everyone else is closed? It's a bit disrespectful to people who have children and although I haven't been to a main street, there are a ton of people that cannot get out of my subdivision. I don't want to get hit tomorrow by some local government worker who has bald tires and only 2wd. I now have 3 weeks I'm working on people helping to watch my kids. Granted, it's "liberal leave" but sorry, I don't love always having to take 8 hours of leave so I can watch my house get destroyed by little people and watch my hundredth episode of Dora.

"unscheduled leave", meaning that I get to use 8 hours of annual leave (not sick) if I wanted to stay home.

1) There are millions of people out of work right new who would probably walk through a blizzard to have your job.

2) I'm pretty sure Fairfax County didn't make you procreate. How exactly is being open for business "disrespectful" because you chose to breed?

3) I'm supposed to feel sorry for you because you have job, a house, and kids?
Sounds like you have achieved the American Dream. Congratulations. Have a nice day at work.

Let's have a pity party for our hard working government workers. The folks in the private sector are getting reamed right now, and would be happy to have a job with those kind of bennies. Yes, your payscales were frozen, but you are employed. You have a pension waiting for you. Suck it up and drive with all of the other morons.

"There are millions of people out of work right new who would probably walk through a blizzard to have your job."

Maybe they should have busted their asses through working full time through 4 years of undergrad and 2 years of grad school. My whole point is that I don't want to get hit by some a-hole who is being forced to go into their job when the roads are still crappy. And by the way, I don't work for the govt, I'm in a small, low-pay, non-profit, so I get all the reaming with no benefits, and just go by the local govts shitty policies. I love the assumptions you a-holes make.

One assumption would be the following: You sir, are an asshole. Nobody is forced to go to work. Last I checked, this was America. Lighten up a little. Maybe you'll find better employment.

Hey Chris. Go find another job if you hate yours so much. The County workers are in the same boat you are and most likely if they have kids out of school they will have to burn AL or hire a sitter to watch their kids all day. Poor you. I suggest you call in sick tomorrow if you are so concerned.

Ok Mr. "they have bald tires and 2wd". What makes you think they don't have undergrad and graduate degrees, just in a field that doesn't have a large need for workers?

Oh, and cry me a river. You have kids, watching Dora 9238498273578374234 times is part of the job. Deal with it.

FX Co is open so Parks, Libraries and GOVT centers can host the homeless for a few hours today. Never mind the parking lots nor sidewalks are not plowed/passable

It's simple economics....IF they close the county government then everybody gets a paid day off from work AND those county employees forced to work, public safety, sanitation or whatever get paid double time. This is all costs $$$. Since the gubmint doesn't give a rat's ass about their people they get to have their cake and eat it too by "allowing" the employee to use their unscheduled leave. So if they want to stay home for safety they do it on their own time or if they choose to go to work and bust their ass in the parking lot, management can say."we didn't force them to come in'. C'mon, you wouldn't want then to siphon funds away from welfare doled out to illegal aliens or section 8 housing would you?
