Woot! The provost just closed the university tomorrow and Saturday! Snow day!
I immediately got on the phone and closed the library tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday. I have out-closed the provost!
Yeah... That went well.

So far, we've just got "The University is monitoring the inclement weather forecasted for the Washington, D.C., region."

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I don't care about any of the others; I'm just F and M'ing everyone else's discarded Tia. ALL YOUR NANI ARE BELONG TO ME.

This provost apparently got a lot of flak earlier this week when he cancelled 6 p.m classes at 6:15, so he's erring on the side of caution this time. (Caution not for the snow, but for the flak, I think.)
The second phone call I made was to my DH to rub it in.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Don't know where that came from.
Whee! I just managed to get someone to suggest something I didn't want to suggest myself. Even though it means more work on my plate. It just seemed to make sense to have all the information go through me. And I like having the information go through me.

When I was robbed at gunpoint, I was not so much concerned that the fellow intended to shoot us (or, technically, mr. flea, at whom the gun was mostly pointed) but he was so visibly nervous and holding the gun in such an "I saw this on TV" way that I was worried he would shoot us by accident out of jitters.
Happily, no. But don't go see The English Patient two days after being held up at gunpoint.

As people were saying earlier, there's only one hard-and-fast rule for dealing with an attacker: never get in his car. No good ever comes from getting in the car.

oh, man! No word here yet. Interesting that the Provost makes that call. Here it's the President. But, you can bet your ass that 1. I will be checking my iPhone before I get out of bed tomorrow and 2. I will be wearing jeans and boots tomorrow.
I'm also walking to work to avoid having to deal with our 45 degree driveway.
