ION, the webfilter at work figured out how to block Gmail. And Dreamwidth. (They've blocked B.org all along.) Argh. Nutty tells me I need a smartphone. Bah.
I got a new phone because i am going full time and some things should not be done on the work computer. It doesn't mean I won't, but....
Does that area have underground gas lines? Some 15-20 years ago there was an explosion on a construction site not far from where I grew up. In the months after, 2 or 3 homes in south KC blew up from slow gas leaks that were caused by the initial explosion.
Now authorities face the risky task of getting rid of the explosives. The property is so dangerous and volatile that that they have no choice but to burn the home to the ground this week in a highly controlled operation involving dozens of firefighters, scientists and hazardous material and pollution experts.
That sounds very scary...and very like the fire fighters and scientists and going "OOOH! LETS BLOW IT UP!"
msbelle, it was 2003, maybe? I'm not sure. Maybe 2002?
Edit: HA! I found pictures, and it was 2003.
Yesterday I ordered three things from amazon - two of the items I wanted right away (boots and a scarf) and the third was just something I'd been meaning to get for a while (electric toothbrush covers).
So - this morning I wake up to an email saying that the unimportant item has been delayed and won't ship until today so they're going to refund the one day shipping fees for all three items. !!!
Pretty effin' awesome. I hope the rest of the day is this nice.
And y'all remember the story about the whale carcase the OR highway patrol decided to explode, right? I mean, seriously.
That's one of the best videos on the internet.
12 degrees. The dog doesn't

Goddamned cold and everyone decided to come into work before 9:15, which meant I had to park in the far garage. Hate everyone.

Scrolldown fug alert!
Another night of near to no sleep, but no option to work from home today, I fear. I suspect there will be a very long shower in my near future.
