Floods

Tonight I am the emergency crew!  Cedar Rapids is flooding really bad, pretty much all the bridge going any where near the river are closed and people are having a hard time getting places.  So because I work near the river I got an e-mail today that said we were closing at 3:30 and would be closed tomorrow as well, possibly longer.  My job requires backing up the entire county systems, so I got to stay and work – hence, not have to use my vacation time or take unpaid leave.  Fortunately I already was planning on taking Friday off and a half day tomorrow.  I’m really praying this flooding subsides, I’m low on vacation and can’t afford to not work.
