    Default Does the weather affect your job?

    I work at a car wash and when it rains I obviously don't work. I hate it because I have been getting very little hours lately and I need Monayssss.

    I own a detailing business, so both cold weather and rain hurt business for me.

    I detail more cars right after it rains then when I do when it's not, so nasty weather pays off.

    I'm always exposed to the elements at work, I either patrol more or less, but no matter.

    If it rains i get paid 8hrs just to be on site...if it doesn't, i work 10hrs.

    cold, heat, wind, all suck when you work outside. Rain doesn't bother me b/c i just sit in my truck and sleep.

    It affects me, but not enough to worry about.

    I work outdoors cleaning up environmental spills, if it's cold and raining... Then the equipment is cold and wet when I use it. But the weather does not stop me from working. I personally love working outside, yeah some days are worse than others... But when it's 75 and sunny, life doesn't get any better.

    it only affects me in the time it takes for me to walk from the parking lot, through security, and into the building.
