Quack!

This is one of those mornings when I don't mind driving the kids to school, even if it does mean two separate drives in the dark at an hour when any self-respecting geek should be in bed after a long night of coding.

Had a bit of an argument with the chaoswolf; she said it was cold. If there's liquid water on the ground, it's not cold.

Power's out at work

...and having to get the kids out of the house before daybreak has its, um, compensations...

Unexpected vacation

Got a call from my boss this morning just as I was finishing my second cup of coffee and getting ready to head for work. Power was out at work, meaning I had the choice of working with pencil and paper by natural light, or working from home, where I was still in the 21st Century. Power corrupts, so of course I picked corruption over virtue.

Of course by the time I'd read my email and the usual websites, puttered around the house for a while, taken Colleen out to lunch, driven the kids home from school because Colleen's car needs work and the power was out at the shop as well, I figure I "worked" maybe half an hour today. Guess I'll write it off as vacation.
