STAY IN THE BASEMENT, PEOPLE!!!!
I think my building counts as a high-rise, so I can hide in the closet instead of the basement.
Anyway, it's all quiet at the moment.
I'm still at work and the clouds are clearing up downtown. The last bits of sun for the evening are poking through.
So, I'm watching Criminal Minds from whenever, and it's weird, after watching Dead Like Me all summer, to see Mandy Patinkin
talking about Rules and the following thereof.
In my head we are like long lost cousins now.
Having met you both I can vouch that you have extremely compatible...uh, energy.

OMG, St. Ignatius is playing Sacred Heart Cathedral in prep football across the street at Kezar Stadium and it sounds like the Christians have been thrown to the lions.
Oy. Glad there were no actual tornados. One of our sys admins called in to ask how things were going on at our corporate office. I told him I had no clue, since I wasn't there, but considering I was still RDPed into a PC down there and accessing several servers, it was a pretty safe bet the building was still in one piece.
ION, straw, camel, broken back, get me the fuck out of this place. I got my paycheck today. They dropped my payrate to the exact amount needed to where working 45 hours a week, with overtime, equals what I was getting paid weekly in salary for 40 hours of work. I called my boss to express my outrage and he informed me the CIO has stated he feels 45 hours of work is standard for IT.
I am pissed beyond all reason.
