I hardly ever take calls on it so I probably misread the last time that came up.

I generally keep mine off - unless I am in an actual situation, the only calls I receive are some kids who speak Spanish, and then people trying to talk to me about "My credit card account". Also, I frequently get text messages from Tracfone advising me of various offers - I think those do not count against the minutes.

Just woke up. Whoa, lots of snow. Well over two feet, I think.

I'm at work now. That was a rough two-block walk to the subway station.

I am on a plane. Heading south, thank god. SO glad we didn't go to New England for Xmas.

Tom, how did you even FIND a working subway?? I turned on NY1 this morning and it looked like pretty much everything was shut down in Brooklyn.

Thanks for the birthday happies, even if I wasn't online to see them!

It's still blizzarding up Somerville way, and Harvard isn't closed, so I'm off to a more-exciting-than-usual walk to work. I shouldn't sneer at the chance to make some money, really, plus feel all smug about my Braving The Storm.

It's much easier to be Smug when you are dressed correctly for the weather.

The subway is an open trench by you, but it's all underground where I am. Plus it's only three stops to work.

I am so glad to have the day off! I'm pretty sure two of us were going to be in in my department, anyway. But of course, since I didn't do shit yesterday, that means I need to Do Things today.

Anyone have home-remedy thoughts for teeth grinding? My hygenist the other day said she saw wear, but couldn't tell if it was new or not, so I should pay attention in the mornings. Verdict: Hell yes, I grind. As I said to her, if there's a way to internalize stress, I haz it.

Blizzard shut down my offices in NJ. I'm here in my home office in VA. They probably expect me to work, don't they?

We've had a couple of inches of snow so far, followed by a lot of rain. It's slush city! There's not much wind yet.
