I got up this morning, only to find this on my desktop:
All Administrative Offices are closed today, Tuesday, January 3rd. This closing is for excused employees only.
Considering I haven't been in the office since December 20th, I was actually kind looking forward to going back and getting some of those new projects rolling. Instead it looks like it'll be delayed one more day.
Oh well, maybe I can get some World of Warcraft in. I'm halfway to level 58. With a good day of questing and crap, I might be able to hit 60 today, so I could stop the incessant "level grindage" and just concentrate on raid nights.
UPDATE: Argh, the Tuesday maintenance window. Damn it! And it's "extended by two hours" today as well, so no WoW until 2pm EST for me. Damn it!
It could be worse! You could actually call the office "hot line" as we were told to for office closings before trudging to work. Nope, office is open! After taking 40 minutes to travel a mere 20 minute drive, I walk to the office and dispatch says they closed the office a mere 20 minutes ago. Oh well...no electric at home and overtime looks good to me. So now the glass is half full not half empty
Patch day sucked. I had the day off already, and thought like you did. Though much lower levels.
They're still cleaning up from that patch. Plus it seems that the Xmas rush Slashdotted most of their servers. *Sigh*... new addiction already giving me problems.
