A world without computers

This morning I came to work an hour early because I had so many files to process today and new I'd never get them done in between and around my 22 student appointments. When I arrived the database wasn't accessible, slowly I realized that all things OSU-online were non-functional.  After about an hour, word came out that there had been a fire in a steam tunnel and some services were down.  An hour after that it was confirmed that a dozen buildings on campus have no power and so classes and work in those buildings were cancelled.  No luck, my building has power and heat, I gotta stay.

But I can't do much.  All the databases are offline as well as the OSU main website.  Its surreal how much people are freaking out not knowing what to do.  They say that all non-essential personnel should leave at noon, but the only people here are me and a receptionist - all the bosses are already on vacation or called in sick....I don't feel very essential.....
