Also, I suggested people attempt to shovel their sidewalks, which you can do with a garden shovel - I did mine in half an hour this morning - and have been mocked on two fronts.

Since it's not going to thaw until Saturday, I was thinking about trying to shovel my driveway when it gets the exciting high of 36 today. However, I do not own snow boots, and yesterday I found that the ice crust on the top of the snow attacked my ankles. That stuff is sharp.

Note to self: Buy snow boots when they go on sale.

So sorry to hear about your mother, Jilli. She is in my thoughts.

(Had to look up what halon is)

That's crazy, Sara! er...at least it wasn't your fault and now you will miss whatever crazy rush hour we'll have if it starts snowing this afternoon.

I am irrationally annoyed by the fact that the Superbowl web page does not list the start time. They have a fucking countdown clock (I suppose I could do the math), but the fucking start time isn't listed. I know that it's an evening game, and I know that there are other places to find it, but why isn't it on the POLARBEARING HOME PAGE.

Fire supressant gas. Rumored to FUCK EVERYTHING UP. If someone had been in that room, they'd likely be dead from the impact of the release of gas.

God only knows if the servers survived. If they did not, I am going to have a very long year. I cannot emphasize how BAD this is.

It's definitely an oh here go hell come kind of day.

Server~ma, sarameg.

ION, Make Yourself More Lovely (Aug, 1930)

Somewhat detailed. Might be interesting to see how things have or haven't changed in the last 80 years....

Yikes, sara. Good luck with that!

I have already spent way too long today talking out various snow/work scenarios, mostly with Neurotic Coworker. I guess I"ll bring my computer home, but meh.

Ugh sarameg, that sounds bad. Crossing fingers that the servers pull through.

I thought that one of the points of using halon as a fire suppressant was that it didn't damage electronics?
