I had problems with streaming video last night. Now I don't have any signal. This is very bad. I am already suffering withdrawal symptoms.

I have two clients with emergencies. I only agreed to service one of them. I haven't called back the other one yet. It depends on my energy and how well I can focus my mind. This client behaved strangely the last time she called me. She had left a voicemail message and acted like it was weird for me to call her when I returned the call. She initially had no idea what I was talking about and then abruptly acknowledged that there had been a computer problem but she said it resolved itself. That was a week ago. She called again yesterday reporting the same problem and says it's very urgent. Prior to this, there was another incident in which she told me her problem resolved itself and she spent half an hour repeatedly telling me that I should answer my phone when she calls.

I am a ninja working for the American Museum of Natural History. My responsibility is to guard their experimental botany department. They have developed some plants that have potential to be used as bioterrorism weapons.

My sister visits the museum and I give her a special private tour which includes visiting top secret research labs. One of the projects that I show her is a genetically engineered species of Rhodiola which can grow on anything. It only needs sunlight and air. It can derive water from humidity in the air and it can grow on any material. The specimen that I show her is growing on a wall. We watch a video about this plant which includes time lapse photography of its growth. In one night, it can increase in mass by a factor of 8000.

Google DNS was not working this morning. I have switched back to using my ISP's DNS. I also couldn't reach google.com for an hour and Google Ads were loading intermittently. I suspect that the same person who is currently mismanaging Youtube may be somehow responsible. It could be Larry Page who is at fault. He hasn't officially replaced Eric Schmidt as CEO of Google yet, but the decision was made for him to take over recently and he may already be influencing things.

I have no interest in reading Newsweek and I don't recall subscribing to it, but I received two copies of it in the mail. The mailing label had my name and address. I cannot find any records indicating that I paid for it and I just verified that it is still not a free publication. The newsstand price is $4.95 per copy and the lowest price that I could find is 89 cents per copy for a two year subscription.

It's 6 degrees Fahrenheit outside right now and the RealFeel temperature is -6F. I believe it's the coldest Monday since I started teaching at the hospital 10 years ago. I'm not sure if classes will be cancelled today. It should be, because I teach a group of seniors, and temperature regulation is not as good in the elderly. They could die or become seriously ill if they go out. The program coordinator isn't in the office yet. I hope it's cancelled. I don't want to go outside.
