I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'm de facto in charge of the division because I'm the senior person here.
Power--yesssssssss! Now to destroy all who have vexed you!

I'm in the office today, along with about 1/4 the usual staff. I'm getting a fair bit done, actually, which is nice. But I miss my coworkers.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Condolences to all who are at work today. I on the other hand got up at 8 and am hoping to spend the day addressing holiday cards (since Xmas is already past) and clearing through some boxes. At some point this week we need to call AAA to jumpstart the van as it is packed to the gills with items to donate.

My flight to Chicago has been cancelled because we're getting freezing rain. I'm waiting for the airline to call me back so I can get any rebooking info, so I just emailed my work team that I probably won't be working tomorrow after all.

Travel weather this year is counterintuitively suckier than usual this year.

One round of errands done, second load of laundry in. Unpacked. As soon as the first load comes out of the dryer, I'll go foraging for food.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Travel weather this year is counterintuitively suckier than usual this year.

A friend who lives in Kansas City was in Pensacola last week and is still there because his flights home keep getting cancelled. He was going to drive over to Biloxi to visit a friend, but apparently there was a threat of tornadoes there, so he's just staying put in Pensacola (which isn't the worst thing in the world).

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

We're starting to get some nasty flooding here, and there have already been some major highway closures.

My phone blew up multiple times a day with flash flood warnings in B'ham. Not to mention the tornado sirens. Those NWS flood people are on it when it comes to text alerts! The tornado and thunderstorm people, nsm. Which is kinda fucked up. Tornado alerts hit my phone a good 5 minutes after the tornado sirens started deafening us, and well after the first funnel hit B'ham.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Scary! Everyone stay safe, wherever you are.

It looks like I'm not getting out until Wednesday. I didn't pack enough medication for this! It's not the end of the world if I miss a day of meds, luckily, but I want my own bed and to be able to read Yuletide.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

It looks like I'm not getting out until Wednesday.

Yikes.

I could...email you Yuletide stuff? Or send you the ebook files for some stories?
