A waste of a perfectly good zeppelin.
Yeah, it was one of the special government stealth zeppelins they've been using to spy on enemies of the Tri-Lateral commission since 1953. That's why you didn't hear about it on the news.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Also, we still use VB6 for our biggest client. We use it to create DLLs that serve as an interface between their web servers and database server.
Right at this moment I hate VB6.

So, the worst case snow day scenario is happening. mr. flea is in the field, and I have to collect Dillo with my coworker who has no carseat (2 miles, remember people can't drive in snow here), then get to Casper's school, in theory by 12:30. Hahahaha. They announced at 11:15 they were closing public schools at 12:30. ARGH.
Happily my coworkers are AWESOME and covering everything.

The entire bottom half of my face is numb. I've got the novocaine shakes. FUN. I think I might nap.

we are still only allowed IE6 and sites are starting to not work
Huh, it's a good thing you don't need our tech support, because we wouldn't be able to do anything for you. We can use Firefox, but we've been on XP for ages with little problem. Some of us are going Win7, and we've all been very grateful not to have been using Vista. Some of our support tools only work in IE, and sometimes we have to tell clients to open things in IE. However, we sometimes have to have things opened in Firefox when their systems are just too muddled to function.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
They announced at 11:15 they were closing public schools at 12:30. ARGH.
That's terrible. It seems like people rushing around would be worse than waiting a couple of hours for more regular routines, but only if the worst has already come down, I guess. Ugh.

I expect there will be some kids at school for hours, and some will go home on buses and have nobody to meet them and get returned to school. It's a total clusterfuck. On the plus side, even though there's no way I'll be there by 12:30 I don't feel too guilty because I am sure half the kids will still be there when I get there.
Okay, I'm lying, I feel incredibly guilty and stressed out. My coworker who is driving me is teaching and won't be done until 12:15. We'll be lucky to get Casper by 1pm.
