    Well I can tell you there is no IT support at the Dallas Fannie Mae office today. The rest of the guys and I decided not to come in. Looks like a good day to catch up on "training" and Black Ops.

    I'm working from home today. Just not worth taking the risk in weather like this.

    I wonder how this will affect press day for 5000 reporters for the super bowl.

    I heard it is still on and the press and both teams are at the stadium.

    I came outside to the Miata to try to go to work, and noticed it was surrounded by 3" worth of ice and snow. I cleared a patch with a shovel and tried to move but my rear end instantly swooped around and hit the curb. Looks like I'm not going to work.

    I think this the first weather day I've ever taken. Just not worth the hassle to find a ghost town at work.

    Apparently the weather is supposed to stay below 20* all day, so I don't think the ice is going anywhere. We might have a snow day tomorrow too.

    I drove halfway in to work from Euless in the Element, very slowly. At a downhill intersection I managed to slide completely through a redlight at less than 5mph... almost sideways. Turned around and went home.

    I have some critical stuff going on today, tried to log in and good ole Time Warner decided to sh*t the bed again. Now i'm tethering from my cellphone to the laptop, VPN into my work PC, virtual desktop from there into about 4 servers...all through my cell phone. Technology is amazing nowadays.

    The west must have got hit harder than the east. Couple of my coworkers, including my boss, made it into the office just fine. My boss drove all the way to Coppell from Rowlett "I just hit a little slush, no big deal." It took me almost 10 minutes to get out of my own neighborhood here in Euless.

    Niece called a while ago. She lives less than a mile from her work. When she went out this morning, her battery was dead. She decided to walk to work. After she fell down the third time before getting out of her apartment complex she went back inside, called her bosses and put an ice pack on her twisted ankle.

    Yesterday, I told the people I was meeting in downtown Dallas this morning that it wasn't happening.

    So far, I have been very productive from home today. No, really. It could happen.

    Working from home through VPN as usual, but hoping that I get afflicted with the VPN problems that seem to be hitting everyone else at work. Grrrrr.
