Yeah, Theo -- the DC 365 Main is down, which has a load of high profile sites. None of the backup generators kicked in (which 365 charges a fortune for). It's being unofficially blamed on a drunk causing the power outage. All hail alcohol!
I already know what I'm gonna call her. Got a name all picked out...

Next year (if God continues to hate me and I'm still here), I'll institute a punishment system that involves their stipends. Late assignments, $50? don't attend a required event? $100, etc.
yeah, or if they are expecting anything else from this, letters of rec or help with finding mentors, internships, etc? Useful to point out to them that professionalism counts.

Yeah, they just told us we can all go home, except I have no idea if MUNI is running.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
There is nothing saying otherwise on the Muni web site, Megan.
Burrell, to continue the LJ conversation, you have my cell phone #, right? I work 10-6, so meeting up for breakfast would work.

heh. Nothing has been so egregious that I would ding them in a letter of rec., but they don't seem to believe that there are consequences for their actions (or inactions)

Given how whack their own on-site platform announcements are, I have no faith in what they tell me.

Other random note: a bulb syringe to suck snot out of noses is one of my favorite parent-of-newborn tools. But as much as I love and depend on it, Noah hates it in equal an unabashed measure.
I don't know of any babies who like the snotsucker. See also, Lillian shooting her hand out to block the snotsucker heading straight for another baby's face, back when she was still in the infant room.

Also took the YMCA offline. Let me tell you - being on a treadmill and having the power go out? Not as much fun as you may think.

Casper loved the booginator. It fixed the evil boogers, you see. Dillo, not so much. Much less rational infant.
