In my case, the school system has some built in wiggle room with those two months off in the summer. I assume we'll just work a week longer than the calendar currently has us scheduled, so we're taking these days out of summer break. But that's my case, as a 190 day employee. I have no idea how it works for the year-round staff.
Never have seen anything like that. Complete sheet of ice. On work: I USED to be able to work from home creating graphics and editing, but the highest powers that be stripped that from all of us at the University. And so the policy is this: my direct boss--the Project Manager--does not care where I am, as long as the work gets done. IN this case (snow days), since I can no longer work from home, I am merely expected to make up the 8 hours sometime by the end of the year. The policy works on good faith, and so no one really is checking up on the fact that I've made up the hours. All my boss is interested in is that work gets done. And it does. And quite well, no less. Thank you for the nice words. Will include a link when it gets published. It will have an audio track read by me, as well. In fact, I'm headed home now to record it. Cheers!
