h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

eh?

Whoops. That was the sound of my computer freezing and then suddenly springing back to life after I had hit a few keys and clicked the mouse randomly.

/* Helps himself to some */

Mmmm. Thanks.

Well, as expected, schools are closed today in celebration of the first snowfall even though the roads are clear.

What kind of heaven do you live in, that closes schools for 3 inches of snow? Does one get to skip w**k too?

There's no snow where I live, and the oranges on my trees are just about ripe and sweet. I miss the change of seasons, but not THAT much. Anyway, I'm up to my neck in work, so I must wander back to RL. See you all soon!

(of course I meant )

This part of heaven is called "New Jersey, USA." And no, we still have to go to work (where I am now). For some inexplicable reason everyone panics at the first snowfall, no matter how light. By the end of Winter 3 inches will not qualify for school closings.

I can understand it in a place further south like Georgia which almost never gets snow (they just got 3 inches too) so they don't have snow plows or shovels or any experience coping. I think New Jerseyians are just looking for a reason to stay home.

Bye ox! *waves*

Well, that's understandable, isn't it? How much snow do you usually get?

*folds portable lab back into suitcase, empties , puts mug back on shelf*

Righ-i-o! I'm off, workday finally coming to an end!

Bye!

*jingleling*

*the image of Titania finally materializing again*

Phew! What on earth was that? I was completely unable to load this conversation when I meant to leave (going home RL)...???

Anyone still around?

IIEM, a Lazy Cat, please!

Good morning, fine memories of yesterday. IIEM, espresso, please.
*puts some on the table hoping anybody will join her in the early breakfast*

? Yes please.. Good morning Hatifnat! How are you this morning?

Good morning Hatifnat,

did you mention anything about breakfast and ?

IIEM, and for me please.

Hi, guys.
for you, Jar.
for you, Feffi.
Enough makes this dull day shorter, I hope. Right now I'm celebrating the apex of my totally streaming cold.

Thanks Hatifnat, that's great!

*starts with *

Morning JAR, how are you?

Btw. did you both realize that it's the shortest day today, that means they will be getting longer again

This is Hatifnat!

Morning Feffi! *eats more * Winter solstice now? *smacks forehead* That explains a few things... I'm fine thanks, contrary to how I thouht I would feel when I went to bed five hours ago.... was more like it.

Delicious cake! IIEM, could I have a cup of latte to go with that?

*thinks to herself: I knew he would take the Bergfest idea as an excuse to overdo it again*

It wasn't my fault! It was my (Evil) stepmother... She decided that we should all celebrate some Hanoukka-style thingy...only none of us are jewish...It got late, 'cause she knows how to throw a party despite her despotic tendecies...

Poor you, if it's like that...

Nah, no need for pity, as I started out, I'm actually doing rather fine.. I just didn't think I would when I went to bed....

How are your experiments going?

*jinglebells*

Morn' folks!

*does the usual routine, i.e., sets up the lab, orders coffee from the IIEM, takes a cigarette (inside the VPB, of course). All this will from this day forward only be referred to as "*does his mornin' routine*" or just "*mornin' routine*", depending on the mood I'm in*

So, how's everybody? ooooo, ! May I?
I was out last night, with the potential of it getting too late. But I took some precautionary measures... (that is, I drove)

Morn' One-Eye! Your very own morning routine.. now that's a step up!
