Everett: I'm not really a strong guy. I'm more of a strategy guy.

tsunami clean up

Cleaning up is no fun.  When your office looks like mine does, it's even less fun.

To borrow Jer's turn of phrase, my office is fucking fucked. There really aren't words to describe it.  One of my four windows is broken with my chair halfway out of it. There is a layer of glass, mud, and books covering the entire floor.  My desk is at an angle on top of my printer and telephone.  Bookshelves, office supplies, filing cabinets, and files are everywhere.   Words like disaster, chaos, and destruction start sounding like understatements in the middle of all this.

I've spent the last two days cleaning up all the salvagable, or remotely salvagable, documents from my office.  Most files were backed up on the server, but the server was also taken out by the wave.  So the water-logged hard copies are all we have left, some of which I found wrapped around brush outside as if my office documents were used to toilet paper the ASPA grounds.

I have photos to upload, but the upload keeps failing.  Hopefully I'll be able to post some of the 300+ pictures I've taken soon.
