So, I managed to get out of Fry's yesterday with just DVD shelves and 3 mechanical pencils. I was tremendously tempted by assorted Doctor Who and Coupling DVDs, but I managed to persuade myself that I shouldn't buy any new DVDs until I had the ones I already owned neatly and snugly stored away.

For a large chunk of this afternoon, we had no network connectivity here at work. Now I've got internet and email, but I cannot access the network storage where the files I'm working on are stored. I'm rapidly running out of useful things that I can do. I think I'm going to go home. It's eerily quiet around here - most folks have already bailed out.

Still, we're not as bad off as the folks in one of our other buildings. They had no running water today.

It's a bad day for infrastructure.
