First Signs of Sandy

[chomiji]

It's raining lightly, and the wind has picked up and is getting gusty.

U.S. Office of Personnel Management has spoken: federal government offices in the National Capital Area will be closed tomorrow. (Emergency/vital personnel must still report; those with existing telecommuting arrangements are expected to telecommute as usual, for as long as they are able.)

Most of the local school systems are going to shut down, either just for Monday or for both Monday and Tuesday.

My company has already declared liberal leave for Monday and Tuesday -- considering they didn't do that for Snowmaggedon, they must be very freaked out. I'm going to have to take advantage, because with Metro shut down tomorrow, there is no way I'm getting anywhere anyway.

Maybe they'll be kind and give everyone administrative leave after the fact, considering we're basically dead center in the path of a hurricane.

Yeah, I don't think I'd try to drive downtown anyway. The Mr. just heard that his work place is shut down too.

It rots that you'd have to use leave, though.
