最近天气慢慢变好了，我开始走路上班，20分钟的路，一路下坡，一边听音乐一边走，真写意。路边本来光突突的树，突然一天全冒了小芽，过两天出了绿色的叶子，越来越多，非常好看。

 

春天来了，西雅图的好天气就要开始了。Cheers～～

今天早上本来想9点多上班，居然看错了表，8点多就来了，还纳闷怎么到处都不开门。看来还是要买一个数字显示的表才不容易搞错。不然稍微没注意弯了一个角度就搞错。

首先，祝大家圣诞快乐。

 

另外，一个省钱的消息：如果你去邮局寄书的话，会比寄普通的东西要便宜一半甚至更多。所以如果你只寄书，一定要告诉柜台的，这样他会选一个寄书的价格。

 

还有，去amazon买东西的话，别忘记我的网站哟：www.laurashawn.net

昨天凌晨西雅图地区刮了几十年不遇的大风，结果造成80万用户及商家停电。微软也是其中之一。Redmond整个瘫痪！主要的桥梁都关闭，520桥还被风吹坏了，但是维修的人都不敢上去，因为晃的太厉害，要等不那么晃了再修。还有好多地方发大水。还好我们家没事，万幸！！

From Seattle Times News:

 

King County Executive Ron Sims issued an emergency proclamation this morning after supercharged winds of up to 70 miles an hour overnight knocked out power to about one million people in greater Seattle.

Utilities across the region worked feverishly to restore lights and heat, but warned that hundreds of thousands of homes in Seattle and its suburbs may remain dark into Saturday. Puget Sound Energy warned of delays of up to five days.

"As storm winds died down this morning, government agencies and individuals began to grapple with the damage and chaos from a storm that has killed at least four people..

In Seattle, hundreds of thousands of gallons of sewage mixed with rainwater was flushed into Puget Sound after two critical parts of King County’s wastewater system were damaged and overwhelmed by flood runoff.

Major roads, including the Evergreen Point Floating Bridge, the Tacoma Narrows Bridge and Hood Canal Bridge reopened after periodic closures.

The storm caused an unusual amount of damage the region’s power infrastructure. Dozens of transmission lines — the large power lines that transfer power from dams and other sources to neighborhood substations — were knocked down in the storm, said Dorothy Bracken, a spokeswoman for Puget Sound Energy.

PSE had dispatched a helicopter to pinpoint where trees had cut the transmission lines. PSE said it needed to assess those failures before targeting "feeder" lines that flow out from substations to neighborhoods.

Seattle City Light, which had 110,000 homes still in the dark this afternoon said a typical storm downs two or three feeder lines. Last night’s storm cut 65; 49 were still not working this afternoon, said spokesman Peter Clarke.

Clarke said City Light expected 100,000 homes – about one-third of the utility’s residential customers – to still be without power by midnight tonight, and about 50,000 midnight on Saturday.

"There will be people without power tonight and when we get down to small neighborhoods there may be some of those that are out for more than 24 hours, " Clarke said.

PSE reported 700,000 customers – two thirds of its customer base — without power, most of them in King County, said Bracken. In addition to most Eastside cities, Bracken said "all of Whidbey Island is without power."

Today, my teammate send me this picture, he carved this pumpkin by himself. It’s really awesome and impressive!! Share it with all of you! 🙂

今天是10月3日，去年的今天我第一天上班，那时候感觉是新鲜和兴奋，一年下来，学到了不少东西，也体验到了竞争的残酷。不过今天还是有惊喜，早上开完会回到办公桌前，发现老板代表大家送了贺卡和两件小礼物，一个有公司名字标志笔桶和一只名片架子。还收到一些同事的祝贺，祝贺我工作一周年。呵呵。真开心！看来我们公司还是有点人情味的。不过有点遗憾，为啥老板不送我有公司标志衣服呢？
