I was sitting up reading last night when all of a sudden a storm hit – there was no warning other than a lot of wind earlier in the day – and it rained and thundered for about an hour or so. When there’s a storm the wind will beat on the whole house like a drum. I figured today would be a big rainy mess, but it’s actually very warm and balmy. The sun is out and everything is fresh and clean, although the wind is still blowing strongly from the South.
If the wind swings around to the North, look out. But for now, it’s nice.
We’ll probably have a skeleton crew in a few hours here at work – the list of people requesting unpaid time off is maxed out, and we’ll make a decision about letting people go home in a short time. It’s all to do with call prediction software, so I’ll have to get into that with my TL’s help (she’s home today).
I can tell people want to go home – the first thing said to me when I arrived was “Good morning. It’s dead.”
There’s a happy thought for you! Fortunately, in the context of work and phones and the Way Things Work Around Here, I knew that meant “There are no calls coming in” and not “my dog died.”
