In the Dark

Last week, I huge thunderstorm came through the area. It was early afternoon and a few of my fellow managers and I were at work, stuck in a "skip-level" meeting with our boss's boss's boss. First we heard the rain hitting the roof of the building. Next, although we were in a conference room in the middle of the building and with no windows, we heard the rain pounding against the windows of the offices across the hallway. There was a lot of thunder, then boom, no lights. A few emergency lights went on, but not much light reached into the conference room. The boss kept the meeting going for another hour, while we sat there in the dark.

I hope that's not some metaphor for our whole project.

On the way home, it was quite an adventure due to all the traffic lights that were not working. After I finally made it across the ferry, I saw that some trees had fallen down on the access road. The winds broke the trees right in the middle. Weird. When I got home, I kicked myself for not taking a picture.

I remembered to take one the next morning, as you can see.
