The storm is here. Powering down the computer.

The Jetport never closes

Remember during that huge snow storm last winter when every other airport in the country was closed but ours stayed open? Yeah, kind of like that. Barely a soul in the place but of course we all had to show up.* I heard the radio traffic as some people pretended it was a normal day: "Station One, this is Station Four. You're getting all bags." "Checkpoint to Checked Baggage. Traffic report?" That would be none and none.

I, naturally, was pretty busy, then tried to take on too much and didn't really do such a good job. Poor prioritizing on my part, I guess (though the manager assured me that I had made the right choice in his opinion), not to mention technical difficulties (for some reason I had a machine which just refused to turn off, which made it impossible to teach people how to turn it on and log in).

Anyhow, I got some people trained, and also met someone who might be valuable to me; one of the travelling group (they're here to help keep us staffed while people are training on new equipment) has training experience and contacts. Woot!

And then I came home... the power had been out for five hours but came back on two minutes before I walked in, Eor said. And the upstairs neighbor had borrowed Hawk's camp stove and made chilli for everyone, so I ate until I could not move and Eor teased me for Gluttony and Sloth. ;)

In five hours the ice-cream had not melted in the freezer and the rice in the cooker was still warm. :)

*There was one idiot standing around talking on a cell when I walked in, saying he wanted to know how he could get to Hollywood, Florida by tonight. Give it up, dude.

Scary Go Round

I've been reading this obsessively for hours. I should go back to the beginning or something, but it keeps drawing me onward. I started here...



and now I'm here... O.O
