Just spent three hours at the airport. Alaska Airlines' computer system is down. Telco cable cut somewhere on the East Coast. After two hours of no computers, no checking in, no flights leaving, they announced "3 to 8 hours" before systems would be up again. Which sounds like "we don't know how long, but we have to say something". Obviously I'm not making my original flight to NYC today. Rebooked on another airline's redeye to JFK tonight. Now, at 10 am, the dilemma. Go in to the office for the rest of the day (my usual work day ends in about 5 hours). Or work at home?
