You're back?
Dana's there for a funeral. Not to be a buttinsky.
(Edited to clarify that I am the potential buttinsky in this scenario.)
Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

Ah. So sorry, Dana.

They cancelled school pre-emptively. It's MARCH, people. Stop with the snowing.

Two hours ago, I was in my bed asleep: warm, dry, content. I am no longer any of those things.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Current outdoor temp is -2˚F.
It's supposed to be above freezing in a couple of days.

I apparently have just enough time to get to my 11:00 doctor appointment (ON THE RIVER) and get back home before the snowpocalypse starts. This had better be true.

The interim provost sent around an email last night at 6 p.m. announcing another RIF, university-wide for staff. No joy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oof, Sparky. Are you likely to be laid off, or do those people already know? Good luck either way.
It's like 40 degrees here! Why did I even wear a coat?

I don't fall under this (bus), as I am faculty not staff. The 13 people I supervise, however, do. The first part is voluntary, but they haven't announced the criteria that makes one eligible. When an employee is notified they are eligible for the voluntary deal, they will have only one week to decide whether or not to take it. After that it is involuntary.

Oh yikes.
