Chicagoland had some nasty thunderstorms last night.

Today:

_8:00 AM_

**Boss** : The power is out. It will probably be an hour or two. There’s no point in you coming into work just to stare at everybody else. Grab breakfast or something.

_10:00 AM_  
**Boss** : Still nothing. Check in by phone after lunch.

_1:00 PM_  
**Boss** : Still out. Enjoy the rest of your day off!

**GameHat** : …somehow, I’ll manage.
