So sorry to hear about your mother, Jilli. She is in my thoughts.
But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

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.

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

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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?

Continuing to send get better vibes and much ~ma to Jilli's mother.
