Survived with only a few power flickers ... the worst when (according my my Facebook sources) a transformer caught fire. The orange flickers across the sky were fairly spectacular. Not that I noticed them until my Mom called (they live about a mile away from me) and said "hey what's going on over there?"

Work is open and I'm sort of annoyed about it. No other local schools are open, but we've got 40,000 kids here and I suppose we've got to occupy their minds or something. 

About to get some coffee and make some decisions about my job. They're reorganizing and now I get to decide whether I want to be mostly the collection maintenance person ... or if I want to be mostly the web design and departmental secretary dealing with ordering things and whatnot. I think to get away from the equipment orders and since the web design stuff isn't my favorite I am leaning towards the collection end of things. Means tying myself to endless spreadsheets and statistics, but ultimately more interesting than endless page updates and orders for paperclips and pens ...

*puts on thinking cap*

Bad transformer. Bad! Ultimately more interesting beats orsers for paperclips, hands down.

It was fairly spectacular looking, although zero mention of it in the (admittedly crap) local paper! So I get my news through a neighbor's facebook feed and one of THEIR friends with a scanner. Crazy!!

I kind of hate making these kinds of work decisions, but yes more interesting is always the way to go I think.
