Who mentioned the Decent as a good horror movie? Was mediocre to me...?

Or...am I thinking of The Cave?

A movie titled Decent sounds like the very definition of mediocre.

Well, after not using a windows computer for 12 years, I bought a Windows 8 laptop. Costco had an Acer on sale for 100.00 off. It's a 15.6" screen, 6GB of ram, 750GB HDD and a touch screen. I'm enjoying Windows 8 a lot, it's just a big change for me. If I decide I don't like it within 90 days I can return it for a full refund.

Why would anyone willing buy something with Windows 8 on it? I thought it was pretty awful.

Sucks for you. I got San Diego State and Stanford both winning and becoming bowl eligible. And then the Giants are up three games to zero. Niners play Monday night. Oh, and the Thunder traded James Hardin. Haha.

Zzzzzzzzzzzz

Champs.

Good news and bad news.

Good news = I'm off today

Bad news = apocalyptic hurricane is heading directly over my house

You still have power? That's a good sign at least.

I'm hoping it'll lose steam before it hits upstate.

I also have off from work.

Yeah it hasn't real hit us yet. I think it gets to where I live around noon.

I don't have off from work...we never do. Sure, the governments are closed, there's no public transportation and there will probably be a State of Emergency declared before the end of the work day, but I'm here.

And I'll be here tomorrow...

...and forever...That is until they replace me with 4 workers in Gargon, India.

State of Emergency for PA was declared over the weekend already mang.

Is that the one that's $400.

I was in Costco two weeks ago. They had a $400 15 inch notebook in their system. Eight in stock, but they refused to sell them yet.

I've grown fond of the new Fright Night movie. It's not "scary" but it's fun. I would recommend it if you haven't seen it. They should do a sequel.

I work for the power company and have to report for work. But I'm going to instruct my staff that unless they've been activated for their storm role, to leave work today at 11 and not report tomorrow unless activated. That's unusual because we're required to report every day in all weather, on storm or not. Remember Snowmageddon, I had to drive into work during that blizard. This is probably the first storm in my ten years working here where I'm going to tell my staff not to come in tomorrow.

We can't do anything anyway. No one can work until winds drop below 40 MPH. That probably won't be until Tuesday night. I expect to be called in then.

Nah normally 850, on sale for 750. I don't think the lower models have touch screens.

Mak, is all of PA in a SOE or just Philly?

Yeah, being in Central PA sucks right about now. Granted, we almost never get any storms where I am other than hard rain, so it could be worse? I'm just hoping we don't lose power, or if we do, it doesn't last more than a day.

And as far as I know, I still need to go to work today. Should call the crisis hotline though to see if we are going to close now or not (weren't closing as of 2am this morning).

Whole state. As a matter of fact, I think Obama declared PA a disaster area already so federal funding can be utilized.

I wouldn't be surprised. My boss told everyone to work from home today. So I am going until I lose power or 5 pm.

Northeast PA is pretty clear, just a little bit of rain, a small drizzle but I am waiting for it.
