Alone Again (Naturally)

Back from my excursion to the first floor vending machines. No Cheetos in the machine today.

In the lobby there are 8 elevators. When I hit the up button six of them dinged and the doors sprang open.

This place is deserted.

Make sure you don't see any twins wandering around. Or a kid riding a tricycle. Or look in any bathtubs.

1 is looking strong. Only about one hour to go.

lb may get to hoist the Cup.

LB cheated using a 1/2 person. None is closer if you ask me.

I guessed 1 visitor and 2 phone calls. Even if the two phone calls don't come, I'm still closest regarding the walk-ins.

Hmmmm. I did say "Predict how many people will enter the library or call on the phone...". On one hand 1 visitor is correct (so far) but the phone call part is way off. I didn't really think of this as a two part question. I'll have to think about that if I don't get any phone calls.

The 1/2 person by lb is skirting the rules especially since he seemed to imply that the 1/2 person was non-human.

The UPS man just showed up so the new count is 2.

Tocqueville takes the lead.

[kayrharris]

Leave it to us to complicate it for you.

I will guess 119, because this could be the day that the Incomparable Leland Stanford Junior University Marching Band comes to Texas in search of a football team worth marching for, and their buses might get lost because none of the drivers speak English, so they end up in downtown Houston, where nearly everything is closed because of Veteran's Day, but they find an unlocked door on the Federal Building and go inside to search for vending machines, because they are hungry and everybody knows the Federal Justice System is fueled by Cheetos.

Let me know if I win.

Sure, go for the obvious.

[andrewjackson]

4 minutes to go. I'm going to call the game for Tocqueville with an exact guess of 2.

Excellent guess! You get all the points and the commemorative traveling trophy.

As soon as we get a traveling trophy.

Can you drink from it? Can babies bathe in it? Does your name get imprinted on it?

Yeah, right.

My guess is 13. I think that you had a last minute rush.

It looks like I will be working the day after Thanksgiving but it is unclear at this point if the courthouse will be closed or not. The courthouse will be closed on Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day but we don't have to staff the library on those days. December 26 and January 2 will probably be administrative days where bosses can give people the day off without using a personal day but the courthouse will probably be open so we'll probably treat those like normal work days.

After that Martin Luther King Day or George Washington's Birthday would be the next possibilities. We typically rotate skeleton days so I might not get another one of these until next fall.
