zzzzzzzzzz

Also, I don't feel like working and would like a day off.

For the previous 3-4 weeks, I had been waking up at 6 a.m. and then couldn't fall back asleep (my alarm is set for 7:45). So the time change actually worked in my favor for once.

WINNING!

Also winning! The cats didn't start bugging me to feed them at 6 as usual. A few days a week I'm up then anyway but I bailed on yoga this a.m. to sleep in a little and it worked!

I woke up to find the cat had puked in the bathroom and also eaten all the way through the cord for the phone base in the bedroom. I think that's losing.

Well you can never win for long with cats.

I love daylight savings, because it means there's daylight when I'm awake. However, I've always had make myself go to bed, and in the transition to daylight savings, I stay up too late. The particularly happens when I'm obsessed with something.

Speaking of obsession, the radiation levels outside the plant boundary have dropped considerably.

The new CNN morning news anchor appears to have the IQ of a carrot. A carrot talking about nuclear power is not a pretty sight.

I suspect it's better than the radio announcer this morning who couldn't stop saying things along the line of, "I saw an article that said the radiation is coming to the west coast. It had arrows and everything! And then it's going to come to the east coast! And you say there won't be significant effects, but what does that mean? Because it's ALL THE SAME AIR!"

(Side note: I can't wait for Hubs's car to get out of the shop so we can ignore local radio again.)

Dumb question, Ginger. Is the U.S. at risk for any increased radiation at all from the activity in Japan? If so, are we talking transcontinental-flight levels of radiation or single X-ray levels? (I understand we aren't talking major-increase-in-cancer levels. I just want to have something specific in case anyone pulls that radio announcer's shtick in my presence.)

Twitter is saying there is ANOTHER quake in Tokyo right now.

"I saw an article that said the radiation is coming to the west coast. It had arrows and everything! And then it's going to come to the east coast! And you say there won't be significant effects, but what does that mean? Because it's ALL THE SAME AIR!"

Oy. I had people on a similar level of freakout last night. All I could say is, "I trust my friend Ginger."

Every. fucking. morning. I get an im from my coworker who cannot figure out how to do her damn job. Never have the words "Good morning" struck me with such dread. I mention this now because I just got one. It's along the lines of, If I want something taken off the site, is that a new request or do I need to find the closed request to put it up and make a comment in there.

Presumably you've had to take stuff down since you've been here. Also, why would a developer look at a closed request that's not in an upcoming release?

USGS says 5.2

Enough already!
