dchenesWe've sent all the students off for spring break (next week) with instructions not to come back except for the 4th year students who still have clinic. But we closed the 3rd year clinic. I really wish I knew whether this was going to go on for two weeks, or six weeks, or the end of June, or what. Meanwhile, we're all preparing like crazy to work from home, except they probably won't let non-senior staff do that. I have permission to from my boss if I want to, but right now I don't. Routine is good, for the moment.
Partly in preparation for that and partly because my old laptop was getting pretty long in the tooth, the regiment reinvested last night and promptly got off on the wrong foot with Catalina. It took approximately three hours to transfer the old laptop's contents via Time Machine, and approximately 10 hours to run a Time Machine backup on the new laptop once the old laptop's contents were on it. And then this morning Catalina wanted to update itself, and I let it, and it got to 8 minutes remaining and sat there saying that for approximately five minutes, and then I had to go to work. I hope it's all happy again by the time I get home, so I can figure out where it put things and what doesn't work all of a sudden (there's always something). At least I remembered to get a USB-to-Thunderbolt adapter so I can print things.
So, Massachusetts federal courts are closed for six weeks as of today. It would be nice if I didn't have to go to Massachusetts state jury duty next week, but who knows?
I was so busy being confused yesterday, I forgot it was Due South Day (otherwise known as The Eleventh of March). I might have to do something celebratory about that this weekend.
