And now I won't be able to swim tomorrow unless work is closed: all Ys are closing at noon.

IT lives down there.
Except for one, all of my IT jobs were in the basement. Once it was sub-basement level three.
I'm currently unfucking the kitchen and considering what I want to make for dinner. Burritos are out as a suggestion because that's what I had for lunch.

Liberal leave through Tuesday. I wonder how long before that changes (we closed by noon for Isabel.)

My uni just got around to announcing we would be closed. When Metro decided to shut down it had to happen, but I am glad to see it now because this group of Deans-Provosts-President seem to take their sweet old time about it.
Still, not looking forward to this.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Our government clients are having a meeting in the D.C. area starting on Monday. Whoops. Fortunately, the planning is not our problem this year, because they took it away from us.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Good one, msbelle!
My job is cancelled for tomorrow, which is AWESOME. I can check my email and otherwise not worry about working.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Because an overhyped weather (or traffic!) warning is no one's friend. Also the possibility of being weathered in with DVDs and hot chocolate sounds fun.
Yeah, NYC in particular could really use a measured response to an actual natural disaster. After the zero preparedness to the Christmas Blizzard (which wound up being a massive clusterfuck) and the over-preparedness to Irene (which wound up being a massive non-event), we just have no clue how this emergence preparedness thing is supposed to work.
Fairway this morning was still more or less fully stocked, but they were running low on decent sandwich bread and bottled water. (We filled up all our giant water jugs yesterday, but I did need to buy some weird diet bread instead of my usual Arnold whole wheat.)
What I don't understand is that Sandy is supposed to be the good girl, and Rizzo is the one to watch out for.
BWAH!
I assume we've all seen this?

Ann, that's a ferret.
Federal government is closed tomorrow in DC. The announcement was made at 5:35. That's the earliest announcement I can remember.
