this is a quote from my office email: We are watching Tropical Storm Rita, and right now her impact on South Florida is unpredictable so therefore as long as the building remains open, we too shall remain open.

I just shook my head in amazement.

We have an office in Boca and went through those issues with Katrina. We told our tenants it's up to them to deicde if their office is open, not us. We wound up manually locking the doors at 5 as if the power went out our electronic locks wouldn't work and leave the building open.

Too many times people are looking to others to make their decisions. In my office I tell staff, if you need to leave then leave.
