msfledermaus(I like to say S'plosion...Yes, I'm weird, please drive through.)
I got a call yesterday at 7:30 in the morning from our head building engineer, telling me that since the Guthrie had overnight become a multi-level swimming pool due to a water main breaking, we didn't need to come to work. (50,000 gallons, they're saying. Happily nobody got hurt, and they're still trying to figure out how much damage there is.)
So yesterday I stayed home and nursed my cold, and followed the news.
(I'm almost better now. Sniff sniff.) In a way it was personally a good thing to get an extra day off. I'd gotten some bad news, and hadn't been sleeping well the night before. I'm more rested now. *wry grin*
Today we have heat and electricity, but *no water* We've got bottled stuff and the next-door Allianze building for restrooms. The place is deserted, since neither the Guthrie or the Walker are open today, or this weekend.
It's really strange. *Takes swig from bottled mocha* I hope no one worried to much about me; my access is still tenuous when I'm not at work.
(I still have to find a faulty inner modem and take it out of my tower. I'm a little reluctant to start ripping chunks out of a machine I'm not too familiar with.)
Ms Eff, looking at the crater they're digging next door with awe and wonder...

Date: 2002-01-04 07:31 am (UTC)I heard that if there's any assss on the roads you get to stay home down there.
(I can send a little if you like, but there's not much here, either..it's a balmy 20 degrees outside, we're freaked by the warmth and threatening to wear shorts.)
And colds get better when there's love. I feel better already.

Hope all is well at "Rhymes-with-stalker"
I haven't heard back from my friend at the "Flying G", but she's probably busy going through wet clothes.
Hope your day is good - and I'll see you Sunday!!

Date: 2002-01-04 09:09 am (UTC)Now, what rhymes with Guthrie?
Re: S'plode
Date: 2002-01-04 09:20 am (UTC)*grin*
Well, what was the point of saying rhymes-with-Stalker when people know that it and the Guthrie are joined at the hip? *chuckle* At least we didn't get our own new swimmin' hole where the paintings are stored.
(I feel for the Guthrie; it sounds like a *real* mess next door.)

Date: 2002-01-04 09:24 am (UTC)We're all getting pizza for lunch from our bosses for being the skeleton crew, and I'll probably go home a little early.
You take care where you are, sweetie, and i hope our friends in the costume shop don't have too much in the way of bad stuff to do.
Da Maus.
