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.

FCM: Nightcrawler, Beast, whoever Jake Sully became in Avatar.

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.

information libertarian

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.

Woot! The provost just closed the university tomorrow and Saturday! Snow day!

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.

Damn, that's a stat I can't remember. The incidence of violence goes way up when you move to a secondary location. That's why the penalty for the crime goes way up if the perpetrator moves you during a robbery. But I don't remember the distance or the increase in maximum sentence.

Masseuse friend I haven't seen in forever will fit me in for a massage next week. Yay.

God, I'm blanking on SQL. I just want to go home and nurse this migraine. Maybe drink some Ting. Watch some soopernatural.

Timelies all!

Meh. I have this stupid congestion/coldish thing. My nose is sore from blowing/wiping it so much. Ugh.

Co-worker just prairiedogged. He says it's a real term. I think it sounds like pron. I much prefer meerkatted. Of course, said co-worker told another one to "just suck on it" (in reference to chocolate, quite innocently) and seemed quite pron-deaf when other co-worker tried ragging him on it.

Hmm. Actually, all in favour of work pron-deafness. But mostly I favour pron-interpretation-avoidance.
