So, all 500 public computers in my building (except the 40 Macs) are STILL down 23 hours after the virus first struck. They thought they had it licked at 11pm, but it defeated them. And all the teaching podium computers are down, too, which is going to make the day fun for the tech support people in a whole new way (we are one of the larger classroom buildings on campus.) Very glad to be a librarian.

It's wrong to be like, "GO MACS!" but that is how it feels.

Sorry for the long day, flea.

Up early. An UGH sort of day today.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I couldn't think what that place was called, just the other day! Good times, good times.

NYC, is it that bad down there? My office is closed.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

After nothing blut slush yesterday, we got a foot of snow overnight.

When I was up at 3:00am, there was only six inches, so it's still coming down hard.

Keep breathing!

I heard a news report this morning from NJ about how it snowed all night and there are 22" of snow and I thought, hey, I'm near DC - we've been there and done that this year! Beautiful to look for the first day, annoying as heck afterwards. I don't know how people north of the Mason-Dixon line put up with it year after year.

Huh. I guess that's real.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

And it's relatively still and sunny bright up here at the moment. I think March came early....

I'd like to come in some morning and not discover that I have to run a meeting at the last minute.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

We had a ton of snow last night, but the buses were running fine and I made it in to work. I am glad I did not have to shovel a car out, because the parking lot at my apartment building was not plowed until after 7 am.

I don't think it is a snowpocalypse, though. I pretty much feel that until I have to shovel THE ROAD to get somewhere, everything is fine.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I don't know how people north of the Mason-Dixon line put up with it year after year.

The oddest thing about this winter is that after two very snowy winters up here in Wisconsin, you guys are getting more snow than us.
