The only time we get snow days around here is if the windchill falls below -15.

I saw a great bumper sticker this morning... "Keep Thor in Thursday!"

The school district here sets it officially at a Wind Chill Warning as defined by the NWS, which means -30 F wind chills. A Wind Chill Advisory (-20 F) is school on, but an excused absence is marked if you keep your child home.

I don't get the "Keep Thor in Thursday!"
What am I missing?

That's where the name of the day came from... "Thor's Day" became "Thursday".

It's one of the few that remain in the English translation.
Monday is Moon Day from Luna
Tuesday is Mar's Day (God of War) in most European languages.
Wednesday is Woden's Day mispronounced -
Woden is the Old English form of Odin. So Wednesday is the god Odin's Day. Odin in Norse Mythology maps to Mercury and that's the name for the day in Latin. So you can think of it as Mercury's or Odin's Day. Same diety, just Latin vs. Germanic naming.

Ugh. Today is not a great day.

Everything okay?
Co-worker was let go and no one was told. I assumed he was on vacation. From what I see of the situation he either 1. Wasn't doing a good job, which if this is the case why was he here for over a year. This is why there is a trial period. The fact that he made it through his trial period tells me his quality of work was good enough to retain employment. or 2. Something happened that I'm unaware of. 2 is very unlikely. He was a very nice and well liked here by everyone. His knowledge was on the lower end, but you can always teach. I just don't get why something like this would've happened and then why they wouldn't bring it up to us. I think it's a common courtesy but also a security concern. If he came here and tried to gain access to the server room he probably could just because we thought he worked here.
I just feel weird about the situation. I like transparency.
-
That is weird that all staff in some way wouldn't be notified about him no longer being employed there.
-
Yeah. I think you should clarify the situation to the point where your other employees understand that this company isn't battle royale and you don't need to worry about your position but also not specific enough to respect the guy's privacy.

Still alive, just busy. Had to resurrect Exchange today, it's driving me nuts. Keeps crashing for no reason after some time (hours, days at best) while my brave little Postfix is doing an awesome job as an inbound / outbound gateway in front of Exchange.
