Actually on b.org at work!! Well, I am eating my bagel now, since I was running a little behind this morning.

Still gronky. Luckily, my students are all mostly working on vocab and readings today, so I don't have to be magic lecture teacher and think and stuff.

I went to the hardware store to get tiles for my Xmas craft project, and they didn't have any! So I have to go to Home Depot right after work and pick some up. Tonight will be project night. Which is ok, I guess, since I don't have to sandwich it in between teacher stuff, dinner and a 10:30 bedtime.

OK. I feel better. Thank you, cinnamon raisin bagel.

Dear User,

Is it really necessary to call me to announce that you're going to send me a request in an email? And then type the email while you're on the phone with me?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I've done that. It's either because I really like talking to the person or I really need to pin them down with the email. Sometimes both. So go with the good interpretations.

eta: Uh, not the goat thing. They're in the trunk, bound and ready for the slaughter.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Tom, something like that happened to me yesterday. Person wanted to make sure I was the right person to direct the request to, plus needed to e-mail a document as part of the request.

But often, just silly. Like putting a goat in the front seat of the car.

So I was saying to a friend last night that current ops system has no working UPS, but since we have 2 trunk lines coming in, they wired a redundancy in, and what are the odds of us losing power while operating in this config? But that I was taking no bets.

Yeah. Breakers blew. Lost power to half the systems. Including my archive. About an hour ago.

I just....

Well, OK, FINE THEN UNIVERSE? WHAT ARE THE ODDS OF TWO CLEAN RECOVERIES AFTER CATASTROPHIC POWER FAILURE?!!!
