Barely won Pandemic today. Found our last two cures on the antepenultimate and penultimate turns, had seven outbreaks when we won, came close to running out of yellow and black cubes. Roles: troubleshooter (buffed by house rules), researcher, containment specialist, archivist.

The Kindness of Strangers

Lori's new laptop was delivered today. But apparently I hadn't been specific enough in the address I put on the order. So although the web tracking said 'delivered', it wasn't in the office.

I had a meeting preventing me from pursuing this immediately; during that time, Cathy exhausted herself trying to call people to track it down.

Afterward, I called FedEx on Cathy's recommendation. I was told that it was delivered to "5000 Forbes Ave, WH, 6th floor", and that the person signing for it was "B. Diecks".

I walked up the hill to Warner Hall (it started with a W, and was one of the few buildings facing Forbes with a 6th floor), went to the sixth floor, and asked for Mr. or Ms Diecks. Barbara Diecks came out with my package. Great relief was mine.
