Hey Neighbor!

I work in the Marathon Oil Tower - San Felipe and Yorktown. Boss let everyone go early here too. I'm IT so I get to stay and make sure the backup tapes are safe :) lucky me...

At least if it gets bad, flooding wise, I am on the 11th floor and we have a 4 day generator, and the office fridge is stocked with cokes and orange juice...

IT huh? I suppose you got a 4 day supply of pizza too, right? ;-)

Back in the good ol' days, the oil company fridge was stocked with beer.

Hiya Neighbor!

Oh yikes! Order in food. :-)

I have two sets of back up tapes here at the house and the boss has two sets at his place, we're ok on that aspect.

The boss said he was going in tomorrow, but I live up in Inwood North and that section floods if you cry hard, so I am logging in from home to work. Besides I have a little economy car, it doesn't swim well should the streets behave like rivers. :-)

You still have time to run to the liquor store and get something to go with the cokes and orange juice in case you’re stranded

Make sure your car isn’t in an underground parking lot.
