Dec. 7th, 2010 10:52 amI arrived at work this morning to find the lobby dark. And the rest of the building, too. A few emergency lights in the halls - that was it. A cluster of people by the receptionist's desk informed me that the power would be out all day. The building was closing.
Ideally, I would have taken the day to do some Christmas shopping, or perhaps headed home for some cleaning and a nap. But Michael has the car, and the kids, today. If I go home, I'll have the kids as well.
So instead I headed over to the med school library. I haven't been here in ages; virtually every journal I might need can be accessed electronically from my office these days. Surprisingly, I was able to come up with some work tasks I can do without my own computer. So I am now ensconced in a fantastically comfortable lounge chair in front of a floor-to-ceiling window with a great city view.
I have a journal submission and a grant application to review. Sadly, I'll have to give up my comfy chair and find a computer station when it's time to actually submit them. Then I can also access the IRB website and get some business taken care of there. This may turn out to be a more-productive day, rather than less. My usual goofing-off sites are not as conveniently accessible from my phone.
...I wonder if there's any way I can smuggle this chair out of here. Seriously, I can't even begin to tell you how insanely comfortable it is.
