• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

Storm chasing and the workplace

I wish I could say the same! Being in the Air Force, and in the situation the world is in right now, It is VERY hard to get any extended amount of time off. On top of that, I am scheduled to head over to the mideast this spring. So, already, it looks like no chasing for me...time to look ahead to season '06! :lol:
 
I guess working in a weather office I am kind of required to chase and be available on storm days. I couldn't ask for a better job to have in the springtime. Getting paid to chase and forecast is doing what I love 365 days a year.

That really must be nice.

My employer knows that I chase. They do not have a problem with it. However, it is such a pain in the rear to take the time off to chase. I have a job that requires you to think and act very quickly to changes and things change quite frequently and for the most part the changes are not good. Lucky for me (not) I am the only one that knows how to do it and do it well. My point is, when I do take off work (for any reason) I really do not take off work because they seem to think they need to call me 10 times a day and most of the time they are not very nice about it. I get 5 weeks of vacation each year but I only take 2 weeks because I just don’t want to hear it. What the hell is a vacation for if you have to work?!?!?

Thanks for letting me vent.

Mick
