ServerS* probably got a power cut shutdown. I think. Which is also problematic, even if they are physically ok. Which....THUMPWHOOOSH.
- this is one of 2 main computer rooms. With the archive hardware, core systems, network switches, etc.
See, in my fantasy, when I'm kissing you... you're kissing me. It's okay. I can wait.

I called a friend at the AAS to let other work people there know since they can't access email!

I don't know what to do with myself. I guess I can go return some shit to BestBuy and then go swimming.

Because books.
Holy shit, sara. That sounds like a giant, messy clusterfuck. I'm sorry.
If I brushed my eyelashes daily, I'm afraid they'd be gone in a week.

That sucks, sarameg. I hope you can retrieve everything you need from the servers.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Gah, Sara. That's awful.
The Angry Birds reference reminds me: I got this delightful poetry filk in the Yuletide fic exchange.

Yikes, Sara. Yes, retail therapy and swimming are good.
I bought tickets, through Living Social, to the Spy Museum in DC. I had glanced through the deal information and hadn't had an expiration date jump out at me. I figured March shouldn't be an issue, so I bought them. Today I got the deal certificates and they expire March 14th. About a week before we will be out there. Any DC-istas want them?
Took me a couple of hours, but I got the rent situation worked out. I wasn't able to get them to remove all the fees, but they did cut some of them. I'm most upset that this got termed NSF when that wasn't the issue. The money was there, just not accessable through electronic transfer. Their system accepted the account information, so I assumed all was ok. Grrrrrrrr.

I really hope I don't have to spend the next year feeding safestores UDOs into jukeboxes to restore the entire HST, Kepler, FUSE and countless other mission's data to new hardware.
That's worst case.

People kept stopping me to see if I was ok, I guess I looked that bad. All of us did who heard the system go and know exactly what it means.
OK, need to go do something else, or I'll never get off this jagged adrenaline rush.

I have seen both sanish-looking and bugfuck looking photos of Loughner but I will agree that his most recent photo is one of the few where the subject looks as crazy as he seems.
