He sits on a throne of lies.

Makes me wonder, how drunk was he that he doesn't remember creating the page.

Afternoon chaps from an hour further to the future, in the mothership in Denmark. So now I can get the UK lottery numbers as well as the US ones.

Did you tear your achilles? A friend of mine had that happen to him. Don't over do it.

Mine completely severed whilst playing tennis against the instructors. It's generally OK, but I will always have a weakness there. The good thing was it was surgically reattached, so the risk of re-rupture is smaller, but still there. It's kinda weird the Physio has cleared me for marathons, but still isn't totally cool with me playing tennis, as its more about dynamic pressure than regular punishment.

Pictures or it didn't happen...
Me and Rob watching the drummers and acrobats in Harambe market

Did you jump in front of the people behind you? They look like they've got the right hump.

As ever Chief, you're piercing logic cuts through all the chaff. So Mikey, how hammered were ya?

Have a great day chaps

Hey, not sure you know this, but Disney has this little running thing in January about the same time as the DDCC's.

Wow, that sucks. Glad you're getting better.

That thought has not gone unthunk, Chief.

Hey there gang, how's everyone doing on this fine Monday? I came into the office today to catch up on projects without anyone around. It's the best time to get stuff done. Plus, I took off most of Friday to get apartment stuff in order, so now I can catch up without that hurting my week too much

Staying inside.


How many of you have a holiday today?

 

[MantaRider]

I have the holiday, but I chose to come into the office to get caught up, because I took off most of Friday to do moving related stuff

Not me.
But then again, holidays don't exist where I work.

Snowmageddon Day 4 update - De plow boss! De plow!

Well on the third night the city said “let there be street” and just before midnight one forced a single cut down my street. The snow wall at the end of our driveway was about 5 feet high but others were worse.

Got out this morning and cleaned up as much as we could. Pictures don’t really do it justice but I’ll share a few.

I’m able to keep working from home , which is ok. State of emergency still in effect. Schools, university, shops, airport, all closed except pharmacies and gas stations for emergency.
We've run out of milk and bread but can manage fine. Thankfully I got a new bottle of rum before the storm so I’ll be ok another couple days. Between work and shoveling there’s not much time for drinks anyway.

I LOVE going to work when no one is there, or at the least, very few people are there. I get more done when no one is in the office. Plus, I can listen to my music a little louder and not worry about bothering the person next to me.

Same. I have the office area to myself this afternoon - so I am blasting an eclectic mix of old school hip-hop, Bassonova, Disney tunes, 70's and 80's pop, and Alt Rock. Yes, I have a wide range of music appreciation.

 

[declansdad]

Glad you guys are good Jeff. I've seen snow banks like that around here but it is usually after 5 or 6 storms.

Have you considered investing in an XL18 Personal Flamethrower? I'll bet that could make short work of that snow.

That's absolutely crazy! Since you've run out of bread and milk, along with everyone else, I'm sure, there won't be any in the stores for days. As soon as people are able to get out, and the shelves are re-stocked, those will be the among the first items to go.

Same. I have the office area to myself this afternoon - so I am blasting an eclectic mix of old school hip-hop, Bassonova, Disney tunes, 70's and 80's pop, and Alt Rock. Yes, I have a wide range of music appreciation.

That's quite the mix of music you've got there. I'd be blasting Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, 80's tunes and some 90's.

How many of you have a holiday today?

Not me,we are opened today but it is quiet as folks take off as the schools and preschools are closed.

 

[Cinderella's Fella]

I was off today...

 

[pkondz]

Well on the third night the city said “let there be street” and just before midnight one forced a single cut down my street.

Finally!

State of emergency still in effect. Schools, university, shops, airport, all closed except pharmacies and gas stations for emergency.

Still! Thought maybe grocery stores would open up.

Treaded snow blower! Never seen one in the wild before.

Yikes! Looks like my yard after shoveling... all winter long. Not after one storm.

 

[pkondz]

Is it morning yet?

 

[declansdad]

Is it morning yet?

Yes but it is cold here, -25 plus windchill. I'm sure it will be beach weather in Winnipeg though.

Snowmageddon Day 5 update

Doing OK. Still working from home. Still just the one cut down my street but I'm OK with that for now. Really not looking forward to the plow coming to widen the road since the snow is 5 days old now and frozen chunks. Won't be easy to dig out again.
City is lifting state of emergency today from 10am-6pm and allowing grocery stores to open during that time so people can get essentials. DW is gone out to see if we can get milk and bread. But we can manage without it if we have to. I've heard there are already line ups of 400-500 people at the stores. The issue is that the only stock available is whatever was already in the stores before the storm. No trucks have been on the roads to deliver new supplies. Not sure when things will get back to normal.
Other shops, offices, restaurants, fast food, are all still ordered closed, no public transport or airport, schools/university closed at least until tomorrow.
Military arrived Sunday night, mostly helping dig out seniors and disabled persons who have literally been stuck inside their homes since last Friday.
I have never seen this in my lifetime and I hope I never see it again.
