My brother worked for IBM for about 30 years as well, in the 'burgh.

No, come to mine!

Oh, for Pete's sake....this is getting re-donk-u-lous.
We lost power -- again -- at 4:00 until 6:30 p.m. I suppose I should be happy that it was ONLY for 2.5 hours....but geez. I'm a little tired of cooking dinner by candlelight. "Hmmm...is that pot simmering? I can't see." And worrying about how long it will take for the now cold fireplace to ramp back up with the heat output. I guess older, "established" neighborhoods with mature trees have their drawbacks around here. Above ground power lines and big trees means frequent power outages. I'm afraid to sign on to my email, as I'm sure the neighborhood listserv is humming with rants. Sent from Smartphones, of course.....cuz no one had power for the computers!

e.t.a. Oh...Fudge Stripe cookies dipped in peanut butter....post shoveling treat. Mmmmmmm.....

Don't you have a headlamp?

**7rider** · 02-10-2010, 03:04 PM

I do, actually, and that's what I ended up using to see if the pot was simmering. I found a flashlight shining directly in was obscured by steam!

Okay, I'll stop.

Another day off tomorrow. The last day that I worked was last Thursday and I'm not due to go back until Tuesday. This is not the type of vacation that I would have planned.

EATING dinner by candlelight: romantic
COOKING dinner by candlelight: not so much.

Same here - was sick on Friday - not confident we'll be there even this coming friday. And I'm on vay-cay next week.

I promised my boss a draft report before I left. I'll be working tomorrow, regardless. Assuming power stays on...cough, cough.
