In which she can has bus!
Mar. 2nd, 2011 01:57 pmTomorrow, anyway, barring further Acts of God. (Dear God: You know I love you, right?) I am so excite! Most of the buses on this side of town won't be running but the Orbiter will be, almost from where I'd normally get it, and will take me to university and those other suburbs which are like a peacezone.
In the meantime I got a phone call from work to ask for a) directions for quickly finding some important equipment in our building, and b) if I can do some telecommuting, which I can, yay internet. In fact, with builders noisily knocking down my chimney brick by brick it'll be just like working in the familiar construction zone that's characteristic of the last year or two of our building there. :-)
Parts of the Port Hills are 40cm taller than they used to be.
And it is windy outside, and the dust from the liquefaction is blowing all over the place. Apparently millions of dust masks are being brought into Christchurch.
The choir mailing list is attempting to organise keeping-calm-and-carrying-on but the bus service isn't that much back to normal. I've unexpectantly suggested trying for earlier in the day, maybe a weekend, but otherwise will just have to skip a few weeks.
Unless I'm missing something, telecommuting appears to be hurry-up-and-wait-but-actually-don't-bother-hurrying-either at present. I'm gonna read more Pride and Prejudice instead and if I get sufficiently bored I'll try locating that supermarket I saw on the map.
For those who want to help; and I forgot to mention that Haiti is still in a far worse state than we are, so, FWIW.
