Is that the way it is? Wusses are allowed to take the day off when it snows? I've never been a messenger, but my understanding is that the worst weather days tend to be the ones with most work (ppl won't take their crap anywhere themselves), so everyone is needed. There was a photo on alleycat.hu of a "winter is coming" sheet that one of the messenger company bosses put out to inform his workers. Among other things, it said "If you call in sick on the day of the first snow, don't bother coming any more. Its ****ing ****ty to leave us in **** when we need you most."
