At the Buffet"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We had a really small crew today, even with Ben there. Greg and Kyle went around backfilling elementaries with Chromebooks from the middle school while I stayed at the shop. We were interrupted in the late morning by a power outage affecting a long strip down Arkansas Avenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Zach ran around swapping batteries and trying to keep the main server room cool. It&#8217;s incredible how quickly the temperature could rise in there, and surprising how ineffective our backup cooling solution was. They estimated the power would be out until about 1:30, but it actually came back on while we were all preparing to go to a slightly delayed lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/pw\/AM-JKLXB9rqDExIHC2MUNRRm4DJRqrKOlwH8zFgh2YuLXZU5YM-Ny2kVyqN5JyTJ19TohdWYrQpl_YcprmMF68_OSsxlZ_l4uowfTyK5tGQAKTIT4WdXhtNIItn5LsIMOtscKbCtutPl7COSiqrB1aSMmhn4Fw=w2198-h990-no?authuser=0\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Summer met us at Western Sizzlin, but we had to sit at a different table when we couldn&#8217;t all fit around one. Somewhere mid-chicken strip, I had another slight panic attack, but as usual I couldn&#8217;t determine a cause or any other effects. I did end up with a pretty bad headache at the front of my head, but I wasn&#8217;t sure if my cloudiness after lunch was caused by that or the nap I wanted to take after eating so much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shortly after we got back from lunch, I had to go to The UPS Store to scan the 20 devices she had from our original quote request. I was just happy we didn&#8217;t really lose as many more as we thought. Central office set hours until 3:30, and then noon on Fridays, so everyone left pretty early. I stayed and solved another wooden block puzzle until Ben was ready to leave. Then I went home to cool down and relax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Summer went to a band meeting with Autumn, so I got Eaddie from karate. We stopped for a couple half price Sonic Blasts, then headed up to Summer&#8217;s place. She and Autumn weren&#8217;t long behind us. Summer went to bed pretty early, so Eaddie and I cuddled up late watching <em>House<\/em> until she decided to go to sleep so she could wake up to mow the lawn in the morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Fire the unlucky ones. Nobody needs that kind of energy looming over the workplace.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We had a really small crew today, even with Ben there.
