If I disappear for the next couple of days, assume it’s probably thanks to Hurricane Sandy. We’re not expecting too much damage or flooding — we’re far enough from the coast to not be any of the handful of evacuated areas — but we might very well lose power. It happened last year, during Hurricane Irene. (That last two weeks, though I was able to sneak away for the second week to Canada. I don’t think I’ll be quite so lucky this time…though hopefully the outage also won’t be quite as bad.)
My office has decided to close tomorrow, which is probably for the best since all mass transit in and out of Manhattan is in the middle of shutting down as I type this. It may be back up sometime tomorrow, but right now even Tuesday isn’t a given. I was going to be off from work tomorrow anyway, but if we’re open on Tuesday and I can’t get in…
I have a meeting I’m supposed to go to on Tuesday, so I didn’t even bring my laptop home with me. I have some access to e-mail, assuming I have power, but…well, we’ll just see. Ideally, everything will be back to normal on Tuesday and I’ll get to work without any problems. Or, barring that, the office will be closed again. Anything in between that — the office open, but problems aplenty — doesn’t sound like fun.
Right now, just enjoying a regular Sunday. I did the crossword puzzle, moved lawn furniture away from the house, watched the okay but kind of disappointing You Only Live Twice, and read a bunch of Kaleidotrope submissions. Right now, it isn’t even raining.
But there’s a storm a’comin’, oh yes.
