HI! Still have power and internet. Just got up. Weather radio alarms woke me up several times in the night. No street flooding yet (woo!) but the wind is totally fucking bananas. Something I am not posting publicly on fb - have a dripping leak by one of my chimneys. Not much I can do about it except move stuff. Of course it's just a few feet from my modem/router/printer set up, dammit.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Ziplocs, trashbags and duct tape.
ACK! My house is open to you all!
Thinking of my NOLAistas!
I second the report of lack of flooding and bananas-ness of the wind.
Smonster, do you still have cable/internet?
sara speaks with authority on this issue.
glad to see you posting smonster, was worried for you.
Y'all, I have come out the other side of my McPhee preparedness panic. DUDE! someone is going to be at my house doing stuff today! stuff that will make my life easier and give me more free time. Thast gust of wind you just felt was part of the weight fleeing my shoulders. The switch flipped in my badly wired brain and I even managed to be more productive myself this morning (washed dishes, packed lunch, and prepared mac toaster waffles), usually nothing is accomplished in the morning.
now if I can just get through the day - it is annoying co-worker's bday (she also needs a board name).
nora! everything ok with you all?
Dana and DJ's families ok?
Listening to NPR report from the parishes south of NOLA was worrisome with water already over levees and at least 12 more hours of rain expected.
I am glad you guys all seem OK!
msbelle, I meant to say: is there ever enough to do in the first week of a new job? Almost never. It will be awesome when you guys get the hang of each other and a routine down.
And happy birthday to meara!!!
In annoying coworker news, why does mine cut his nails at work?? I truly do not understand.
Also ALSO, was it here that someone was wondering about ::drops mic:: ? Here are some visual examples: [link]
cutting nails at work is no no no no. reminds me of theose people in nyc that cut nails on the subway, NO!
