to think if I can't get home from work then I can't go.

[whatisreasonable]

I work at night in a residential home and am due at work tomorrow night. I've called in to advise I may not be able to get there and back and to find out what the procedure is.

I've been advised I will be expected to go above and beyond what I would normally do to get there.

I live in a very rural and isolated location and we don't have a 4wd so the road is undrivable for normal cars outside our house to the main road. (A distance of about 2 miles). We did try and get out today and had to be towed home by a friendly landrover.

I can get a lift in from a friend in 4wd but the only way to get home is to walk 3 miles at 6.30am in the morning.

I'm not really happy doing this. No decisions have been made yet as I need to call tomorrow lunchtime and advise what's happening when we've looked at the road.

What do you think? (I've name changed as I know people from work sometimes look at this site)

"I live in a very rural and isolated location"

Does not imply to me a route with plenty of houses along the way. It imples a route which is, well, rural and isolated.

I don't think that anyone would argue that an able bodied person shouldn't walk 2 mils through a residential or even semi-residential area.

Actually managed to get a 4wd taxi home, tomorrow morning is their first morning of operating in 6 days. Very lucky.

And re the isolated rural location, the road concerned is an unmarked lane quite wide but surrounded by fields on either side, no houses.

Glad you got home OK

Excellent; glad it worked out ok in the end.

The snowfall this morning was really bad, very nice taxi driver was there early. Am definatley using him again.
