My fingers are frozen into red little sausages and I can barely type, my ass is so cold--but here are some pics of badass Park Slope covered in snow. (Got any good ones? Email em in to effedinparkslope at gmail dot com and we'll add em to the winter remix! OR add em to our Flickr Group pool).

Holy Shit is it Snowing

I came to work today - big mistake.

First of all, it's like a fucking ghost town in here. Who can blame them; this morning was one of those rare occasions you just look up and feel in your bones that the weatherman was right.

Look outside: it's dumping. And to think that 72 hours ago was a mild day of Al Gore summer.

Here's what I want to ask:

• Did you get off work today? How did you swing that?


• Is your boss "all good" with it? Passive Aggressive?


• Do you feel you're as productive "working from home" i.e. "with no pants"


• If you're a manager, do you feel that your employees are as productive when working from home?

If you're a manager answering that final question, remember to factor-in the net productivity effect of each employee's time spent holding their genitals and watching the second showcase-showdown.
