Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Alas, I had a Bad Night with much insomnia and runs to the toilet, so I slept extra late and took my time faffing around with my games and reading.
Which relevant to Jesse's post above, I didn't catch any of the surge fares that must have overflowed like liquid cash to Lyft drivers when the subway is down and the rain is falling. (Of course, I was also out of the traffic, too.)
Oy, Jesse. That's some highly specific mess.
Sorry about the bad night and missing out on income, Theo.
I am reminding myself that at least there is air conditioning at work.
Today's status meeting is going to be fun. My current cough/cold has my voice sounding like I'm speaking from beyond the grave (though aside from my throat I actually feel fine). Odds that someone will need a detailed explanation from me whereas I usually just say the occasional "thanks"?
OK, I've been working for an hour and a half. I'd like to go back to bed now.
That is A Lot, Jesse.
I'm exhausted because I've barely been sleeping at night with the heat wave. It was 85F in my apartment last night, and it would not cool down.
My office got an email from HR at 10:30 suggesting that people might be late because of the subway, and that people who are late should be in touch with their managers. Was it too late to be at all useful? You can be the judge.

I'm sorry you missed out on the $$$$!
Matt, I hope you get to give the status explanation by pantomime! Or Pictionary, which would be altogether fitting.
I went out at 10, which incredibly meant STILL AWFUL traffic. Individually Boston could theoretically handle heavy rain OR a major subway derailment, but not both at the same time. Sheesh Louise.
I also saw a bumper sticker that read SOMETIMES I STRUGGLE WITH MY DEMONS, BUT SOMETIMES WE SNUGGLE.

And not right at rush hour! They had to close the highway (briefly) at like 8am to get to the derailed train! What a mess.
Things are a bit more relaxed here. It is not at all unusual to be late because it was raining, because who would go out in that. It drives people crazy when they first get here. Not as bad as 'Island Time', but a much looser concept of being on time.
