Someone alerted me that parts of #MS and #AL are getting life-threatening flooding right now. Macon and Starkville MS getting 10-13 inches of rainfall in the past 6 hours since 06:00 US-Central. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iesPl7zRbVY
Also, there was recently "historic" flooding in Montpelier #VT.
If you're in any of these areas, pay attention to the local weather alerts and stay away from the most dangerous areas. -

She and I both worked in #AL recently, but her locations were West of the main office, while mine were North and East of the main office. After she went home, I covered her old locations one day, and I covered some locations near the #MS state line for a few days.
Which is a long way of saying that we only saw each other briefly.In conversation from web permalink -

Anker, the brand that makes charging accessories for mobile devices, also has a mouse. "Vertical ergonomic mouse" appears to be available in wire or wireless, and left-handed or right-handed models. I'm using a right-handed wired version right now, and even after a few minutes, my wrist feels much better.
One of the trainees in #AL had one (violating the rule about attaching one's own equipment to $EMPLOYER devices), but I did get to discuss how it felt. He said he'd purchased it at Walmart, so I went to both local stores without finding it. After I returned to #CA, I checked the smaller of the local stores and also checked Target. I ended up ordering it from Amazon.In conversation from web permalink -

My site manager here in #AL recommended I shoot for a lateral position change. The new role would be more server oriented (right as the whole federal government moves away from self hosted servers toward vendor hosted cloud services ... no word on whether that role gets to transition) and less user support oriented.

Speaking of #tornadoes, I'm watching the Weather Channel in the lunch room and they are talking about severe #t-storms and possible tornadoes in #TX, #OK, #AR, #MS, #AL, #TN, #KY. These are fast movong storms, so there is no time for waiting until a storm is confirmed. In conversation from mustard permalink -

There must be different traditions for cornbread. What I'm finding in #AL is not like what I expected cornbread to taste like.
It isn't bad, just different.In conversation from mustard permalink -

Also, drove past a tall flagpole atop a hill, flying the #Confederate battle flag. I flipped it off as I drove past, which is the appropriate sign to show to that anti-American hate symbol. *
Today, I left more than an hour later, and Birmingham #AL traffic was much improved.
* Some years ago, a cousin who is now believed to be deceased posted the Confederate battle flag with the caption "Heritage, not hate". But I would argue that "we're killing other White people in order to continue enslaving Black people" is pretty much the definition of hate.In conversation from mustard permalink -

I drove through Birmingham #AL recently. Nowhere near the traffic of Los Angeles or Atlanta, but still got hung up for a while at 08:30. From Bham to the North, it was sunny, but to the South, it was overcast and drizzling, with more rain the further South you went. I didn’t make it as far as Mobile, so I don’t know if that continued indefinitely. In conversation from Shoyu permalink -

People working in the main building are working remotely tomorrow ... and most are off Sunday unless they're supporting us in the field.
With some changes in field locations this weekend, I may have reached the end of 84 hours / week. I was hoping to keep that up one more week. I'm tired as heck (partly because of the noisy neighbors that recently left the #hotel), but my wallet is empty and I'd like to fill it as much as possible before I leave #AL (currently planned for 2023-02-17 to 2023-02-24). Any longer than that and I need to figure out how to obtain my replacement debit card, as the current one expires this month.In conversation from web permalink -

@gnu2 I am currently staying in a hotel in #AL, but I live in a house in #CA ... or in #MO ( #GS3 asked me when I am coming back home ). In a week or a month or a few of each, I will return home after my assignment is done.
( Current thinking is about three or four more weeks until I leave. )In conversation from mustard permalink -

S went home from #FL last week. Now, she's heading to an office in #AL. I am "attached" to that office, but not working in that office. In conversation from mustard permalink -
