I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

Also, GRONK! Massive, massive reams of gronk. Not caffeine enough in the world.

"Luckily" there was a sub-zero gale going on during the commute so that brisked me up just a little (after it kept me up all night with the howling and the porch/house creaking).

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

not your mom's socks.

second that.

ok. extremely odd and unusual meeting upcoming at 10am. Hope I can pull it off. and then? to add to day of gronk? more real-estate madness. Maybe I'll go to the Obama rally at First Mariner as an out-of-state observer just to get a break.

hope everyone has a good day.

... (eta) and if not, hope they can find a way to shift the gronk. that's what I'm going for anyway.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Tommyrot, if you woke up this morning feeling tired, you were helping me move heavy furniture in my random dream last night. Er... thanks for the help?

Heh - you're welcome!

Actually, I woke up feeling refreshed and all awake and stuff - I left early so I could have steak and eggs before going to work.

Maybe I should do more stuff like that in my dreams.

Day Of Wind yesterday resulted in no power, no heat, no water, NO COFFEE. I am unshowered and minimally caffeinated (fortunately, gas stove, though all but my teensiest pot were dirty) and interim grade reports are due tomorrow. Fortunately, it's cold enough to trigger the gas fireplace, so the cat shouldn't die of cold before the power comes back on.

Send IV caffeine and power!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, thank goodness -- I couldn't get to the b.org from home this morning. I was scared!!

Yikes, Emily. Here's wishing you warmth and coffee.

Bah. I sent a client some stuff right before leaving on Friday. Turns out there's three different things wrong with it. Am now scrambling to fix.

See what happens when I try to finish stuff up on a Friday afternoon?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

When I heard on the radio that electricity was out in places, I was secretly hoping for screwed up subways as an excuse to stay in bed. Then I remembered that mac would still have to go to school (half a block away, never an excuse to not make it) and I gave in to the horrors of waking up.

The one upside of the power being out was going to be the lack of any excuse to stay up late -- and indeed, I got to bed around 8:45. Unfortunately, the combination of house-shaking wind and worry about the power loss, plus the creeping cold, meant I didn't get much sleep. I must have fallen asleep at some point, because I remember being woken up by the wind stopping. And at 5:30 I got out of bed to investigate the glow from the living room -- turned out it got cold enough in there to trigger the fire.

Man, I'm tired.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

No, you can't have the admin password.

Because you're not an admin, and I don't want you messing around in there.

No, the admin password is MINE. Not yours. Mine. Because you could do bad things with it, and I don't trust any of you people not to pass it around to the rest of the company.

NO. I will find you something else, okay? NO PASSWORD FOR YOU.
