 Posted: 02/17/03 - 10:32 Post subject: Whoe here is considered "essential personel"
Me. I am allowed to be on the road whenever I want, as long as I am going to, from or performing service.
I say that because it is a state of emergency in PA and only essential personel are allowed to be on the road.
I did quite well with my honda

Not considered essential here. We are on Level 2 alert which means we're allowed to be out and about but it's not recommended. Some of the roads I was on this morning people without 4x4's really had no business being on due to drifting.

Is it a state of emergency in all of PA? I had planned to head into work around noon.
I'm essential personnel in my own mind. Can't imagine the world revolving without me.

me?? no way!!! I guess that's why I eat worms.
my wife could be considered essential since she's a nurse, but she won't drive when it's real bad like this, so I'd have to be out on the road with her to get here to work. I'd be in trouble on the way home then, I guess.
Sahara, the state of emergency was declared by our governor, and that automatically closes all schools, and some other institutions.

I don't know that we do that essential personnel thing in NY. But for my job, I am essential personnel. I would be afforded a hotel room if it was beleived there would be a problem with my getting into work.
Buffy wouldn't allow it though

According to the state: No.
According to work: There talking about getting me a laptop so I can work from home. right now I can only get into a few systems from home.
At home: Yes, the wife would have to work without me. She's after me to up the life insurance again. Then I will be worth more dead then alive
