Apparently Mother Nature thinks that Monday through Friday of 7 AM to 5PM at the home office wasn't enough. As I was getting ready to say sayonara to my Chicago colleagues and escape from the building, alarms sounded then power went out and we were all hustled into an unwindowed hallway on the ground floor. Apparently that's the drill when there's a tornado heading that way. No one had a radio handy, so we huddled around the chief engineer's Blackberry to get updated weather reports. (And he has a sore throat -- hope he didn't give us all whatever disease he's got.)
About an hour later, power came back on and they gave us an all clear to leave. I had lots of fun driving my rental PT Cruiser through the golf ball-sized hail back to the hotel.

Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
