I'm currently wondering if I can figure out how to run the snowblower, because the neighbor who usually does it is at work today. I shoveled the steps and the walk, but having to snowblow after a day at work seems like adding insult to injury.
But since govt email is up I'm still getting work questions and have to join a brain-hurtin' thinky call in 5 minutes.
Yeah, I had an hour long call with my boss earlier (our normal weekly update), and at one point I just had to say, "I think I know something about this that I will know in my office but can't remember in my living room...."
Stay warm, people! Not you, Laura, you stay cool.
Ha! I listened to the school closing video and immediately posted it to a friend of mine who is principal of a school in the Adirondacks. His school is remote and K-12. The graduating class that he and my nephew shared was 21 students. Yet they still manage to field teams in most sports because all kids participate in everything. Have a ski mountain right behind the school.
Sorry for the reminiscing; I sometimes wonder if I should have raised the boys in that kind of environment. But then I remember that parents there wonder if they should have raised their kids in an environment with access to more of what we take for granted.
Well done, productive people! I am a bit of a slacker today. I guess I should get back to it. Ugh.
The turnstiles at the Lake Street CTA station are covered in ads for Hawaii. Talk about insult to injury!

ha! Yeah. Much of this call, as I said during it, was more like listening to someone speaking Spanish--I understood a few of the words but I didn't really know what they were saying. It was seriously mathy.
My god, these people take their foozball seriously. Special gloves, specially formulated cleaner, four men solemnly thrusting the handles in and out as they work the cleaner in so nothing sticks . . . Fortunately I was out of the room before the giggles took me.
So... hypothetically, if you lost your wallet in Manhattan and there aren't any charges on the cards but it hasn't been turned into either of the two lost property precincts, what are your options?
I'm going to call head over to the bar that doesn't open until 5:30 to see if they found it. The restaurant we went to for dinner doesn't have it. After that, I'll call around a few more places and then file a police report, I guess?
oh crud, shrift, I hope it turns up!
Today's lesson: any kind of opiate can cause itching as a side effect.
