Who Knew?

The roads were busy on the way to work today, although not crushingly so.

The girl at the coffee drive-through was her usual perky, overcaffeinated self. The radio was full of the usual chatter.

The cubes at my office are full. Actually, I sit across from the Facilities Planning people, and from what I hear, they're a little too full (there's an economic indicator for you). My calendar is full, verging on too full, as is the norm these days.

In short, today's a day just like any other day.

Or so I thought.

I flipped on the Strib website. As I write this, it says:

State still shut down

82% of state workers are still at work (or perhaps it's more like 62% are at work, and 20% are at "work", but I'll let you fill in that blank).

And that says nothing about all of us who work in the private sector.

Sorry, Strib. Minnesota is still running.
