Stay safe, y'all.
My college came in #2 in the Least Beautiful Campuses. The picture at the top of the article at HuffPo is my dorm: [link]
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
My college is #9 on that list.

Did I mention we're under admin leave tomorrow too? I can't recall where I've recounted what.

OK, that picture of SUNY Purchase is hilarious. I'm sure at least some of their buildings have windows.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I'm worried about a friend of mine in Pelham. It looks like the storm surge is going to be frightful up there as well.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I am worried about everyone and also freezing cold. I have my space heater on under my desk today and my hands are like ice.
heard from McPhee that the dog pooped under th kitchen table. urgh. first issue, I hope it is not a matter of her feeling at home now and getting lax about behavior.

The most ugly campus list, while I have not been to all of the campuses on the list, Harvey Mudd hardly belongs on that list. Some of their residence halls aren't the most attractive, but there are some lovely main buildings.

I think any lovely main buildings must be new since I was there. Almost all the buildings were the same warty cinderblock aesthetic in my day.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Somehow, it fell to the SF librarians to figure out which courts on the East Coast were closed today.
I'm not sure why we couldn't just say all of them, but that's why I'm not in charge I guess.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
It just started raining here in CT. It's not that heavy, mostly just appears to be bad because the wind is whipping it against the windows.
Work is closed today, but I'm checking email and had to send a small nastygram (it's actually not that nasty, but the sentiment behind it is VERY nasty)
One of my internal clients needed me to do something, but couldn't provide the info to make it easy, so I needed to write something new. When I write something new, I like to run it by my boss or a colleague. I told her that I should have it by the end of the week (week before last), but some other stuff came up and I didn't get to it (BTW, this does not need to be done until the end of the year). She sends me this email on Wednesday saying that she had told the customer that it would be done, and "what do I need to do to make sure that we don't have a credibility issue in the future".
I said Bitch, please! I emailed her back saying that basically that if she had done what she was supposed to do, this would have been done, the document was being reviewed, and that I HOPED to have something this Monday or Tuesday and if she was concerned about credibility, she shouldn't share that with the customer.
This bitch responded with "I have told the customer that they will have it by the end of the week". ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?
My response- I am confused as to why you gave the customer a deadline when I did not give you one. I will forward the document when it's completed.
