Also crazy

Made it in to work, about 40 minutes late. The PATH and the subways are running, but erratically. I stopped on the way to help other passersby free a car that had driven into a snowbank.

The annoying thing is, I could have worked from home (most of the office is doing so) if only I'd had my laptop. But since there was nothing I actually could do from home, in I went.

There are only two other people in the office. Outside in the museum, though, it's apparently a bit of a zoo. (I haven't as much as stuck my head out the door since arriving.) Lots of people trapped in the city with nothing to do, and we're open. Short staffed, I suspect. We didn't even bother opening the special exhibits.

Well, Mayor Bloomberg just announced that you were open and encouraged people to go...

...really? Oh, we're doomed. Prosperous, but doomed.

See, and you were worried that you'd lose the revenues from your busiest week of the year. Nope!

Oh, now that's just evil.

Well, no, we do need the revenue. But it was a rough day for a lot of people. (Not me; I hide in one of the back offices.)

I've got the shivers just thinking about it.
