I took my computer home just in case, but I suspect that (being in Chicago and not DC or wherever) I won't have an excuse not to go in tomorrow. But man, it's crazy out there.
'Life of the Party'
Natter Five-O: Book 'Em, Danno.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I wish I had planned to work from home. No way I'm having a snow day tomorrow unless something crazy happens.
And I'm watching House.
Westminster Dog Show
I am at work, which I did not intend to do. Stupid job wanting me to do shit! I have no idea how to get home.
Congrats on the book, Allyson. (I've been lurking so long, I forget if I ever congratulated you on it before.) I'll probably get my copy on buy.com since they always beat Amazon's price.
We briefly lost power a few minutes ago. The weather's all sorts of fun here.
Oooh, there is so much on Tuesdays I can't tape all of it. Nova and Frontline, Law & Order: Criminal Intent, Veronica Mars, House, American Idol...
MFNlaw, you north/east of me? (I'm NW B'more city.) We're having random spitting of ice, less sleet right now. Plus random wind.
West. Frederick city. My office is in downtown DC. I have no desire to deal with the idiots out there, especially while hacking up a lung. I brought my laptop home last night, and as long as I have that and my work cell, I'm good to go.

So damn true. I'm still amazed at how little it takes DC to shut completely down. The threat of a half-inch of snow sends people scrambling for the grocery stores. God forbid they miss an opportunity to stock up on toilet paper, bread and milk.
I choose nothing.
Yeah, well me too, if the ice is bad. You never know. Few years back, the director had spent years in Germany. Short of Upper NYS type snow, he barely thought we should have liberal leave and never closed work. Even during an ice storm where I saw two traffic lights crash into the road before me due to weight (that was a no liberal leave day.) And then a bunch of people had accidents on our fucked up Pole-Position-esque road to work while the city and the U. were arguing about who was supposed to plow it. The head of facilities was given the final say-so. New director is from...um...somewhere without snow, so I don't know.
Best policy was under a longtime local
I cannot fully express how much I would like it to be a snow day tomorrow, but I just don't see it happeneing. I think west and north of us will get lots of snow and south of us will get ice, but we will get a little of both and not enough of either to cause real problems. SUCK.
