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.

That just seems really irresponsible. What about parents who have jobs they can't leave?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
When I was in elementary school, I remember that whenever there was an early school closing for snow, the kids whose parents couldn't pick them up would go home with other kids. There was definitely some sort of system for how it worked, so that every kid would have somewhere to go and every parent would know where their kid was, but I don't remember what the system was. I just remember that, whenever there was an early dismissal for snow, my mom would pick up me and at least one or two other kids, and we'd play in the snow in the backyard or go sledding until their mothers came to pick them up.
