dunno what it is like in town but visibility is genuinely not good right now up here in the country
― quincie, Wednesday, 26 January 2011 22:04 (thirteen years ago) link
I don't like working from home at all.. Much prefer a long walk at the end of the day. for real! I decided to walk a mile and get the bus instead of going to the metro. Would be fine if the bus was actually moving...

wondering if I should get out now and walk home. it's only uh .. another mile or so..
― daria, Wednesday, 26 January 2011 22:15 (thirteen years ago) link
so our office follows fed closures. ie, if they are closing 2 hours early, we close 2 hours early. except 2 hours early for us is an hour later. at any rate, i left at 4 and it took me an hour and 20 min to get home. if i'd left at 3, i would probably have been in a much better situation.
in terms of visibility, i always, always see nat'l harbor across from alexandria when i'm on gw parkway. today: not even a tiny speckle of the lights made it across the river.

I am still trapped in an office park.
I need to get home and pack for trip to Knoxville!
― quincie, Wednesday, 26 January 2011 22:53 (thirteen years ago) link
oh no!
― tehresa, Wednesday, 26 January 2011 22:56 (thirteen years ago) link
yes and packing means creating clean laundry with which to fill suitcase
flight is not until the p.m. so not to worried, I guess

We follow Feds too, I left at 3, finishing work at home.
My lights are flickering on and off a bit.
― ljubljana, Wednesday, 26 January 2011 23:09 (thirteen years ago) link
we never close in order that we continue to charge the feds $$$ while feds sleep in or whatever the hell they do on snow days

― quincie, Wednesday, 26 January 2011 23:25 (thirteen years ago) link
i would try latitude 48, though i don't know what that means
― horseshoe, Wednesday, 26 January 2011 23:28 (thirteen years ago) link
hope you like sam adams

Samuel Adams® Latitude 48 IPA is a unique IPA brewed with a select blend of hops from top German, English, and American growing regions all located close to the 48th latitude within the “hop belt” of the Northern Hemisphere. The combination of hops in this beer creates a distinctive but not overpowering hop character. The beer is dry hopped with Ahtanum, Simcoe®*, and East Kent Goldings hops for a powerful citrus and earthy aroma. The hop character is balanced by a slight sweetness and full body from the malt blend.
gotta be better than the light and raspberry beers I guess
― I DIED, Wednesday, 26 January 2011 23:46 (thirteen years ago) link
Are you stuck on your own or do you have to fight anyone for the Latitude?

It took me 2.5 hours to get back to Annapolis and I saw ten accidents along the way.

3 hours from Kensington, MD to my apt like 9 miles away. Took a full hour to go down like a mile's worth of MacArthur Blvd at the end. If it hadn't taken 3 hours to get home I would have been able to go see Georgetown play St. John's and live the dream of booing Steve Lavin live in person.

Manager said because the fed gov't got off 2 hours early, so could we. Trouble is that would have been 9pm. We left at 6.
Train was there when I got to the station, bus was there when I got off the train. Stopped at local bar for a beer and some wings. Now just chillin'.

power blinking more frequently. the last time it did this i ended up out of power for 4 hours. dominion's outages map shows lots of outages in the area, though most are further west in fairfax, annandale, etc. i'm thinking it may only be a matter of time before we lose ours, though :(

I made it! 4 hours from Rockville to Tenleytown. Got stuck twice and lovely gentlemen pushed me out.
Now my only complain is that I don't have heat and I am supposed to fly to Knoxville today.

Oh man, I had my heat die a couple years ago. I remember being huddled under the covers with hats and coats and sweaters on until the repair guys came.

Had my shoes on in the bed because no amount of socks was warm enough.
