Nothing to say

It's true. I was expecting to have something to say by now, but it's been pretty routine at work, at home, at church and at play. It's snowing again, and people at work were hinting that there would be no work tomorrow. I have serious doubts. First, everybody was talking about how often they don't have work, yet I've seen some ferocious weather here and we still had to go to work. Second, the weather's not even due to be that bad. I'm sure the plows will have the snow off the road way before morning.
A slightly exciting bit of news is that I have a new laptop. I was unable to keep my Acadia laptop, and that made me...upset. A strike, I get no penny of the retribution they gave us, and then they're still not letting me have a computer. I was upset.
I now, from work, have a Dell Latitude D620. Acadia students, look at your laptop brand. Notice anything?
Speaking of laptops, how was that showcase that they put on? Anything good? Anybody made any decisions?

They actually gave the students something due to the strike?

Yep. I believe the amount they gave back was the amount "saved" by not paying the prof's salary for a month.
It wasn't cash directly, but rather a credit to the account. It was around $275, $375 for international students. But only if you were coming back as a full-time student, as I, alas was not.
