Now, I know some people (like those currently in Florida) will say this is nothing. Plus, when it comes to weather issues, this doesn't hold a candle to Mother Nature going all manic-depressive in Texas, but....

Picture, if you will, a relatively sunny day in South Carolina. Our hero (me) is watching TV, when all of a sudden, God Almighty says "Let there be a huge motherfucking storm that only lasts 10 minutes. Because I like fucking with people in South Carolina." Rain, thunder, lightning. And I swear, I heard hail hitting the windowsills and windows. Hail. In fucking June.

The power blinks a few times, but like I mentioned, after about 10 minutes, it's down to light rain and not much else.

Time passes. I need more beverages, so it's downstairs and around the corner to the quicky-market. Only when I get downstairs, the bottom floor is swamped. It rained so hard that it flowed inside the building. Outside the building, there are a few trees branches that were snapped off by the wind, and one of the windows in the bagel place next door had shattered. Not because of a branch hitting it. Just the wind.

Right now, the ground floor of the building smells like a cross between a swamp and a port-o-let at a Kid Rock concert where the weed was mixed with Ex-Lax. It is about 437% humidity outside. At least, that's what it felt like.

And this is just the first summer storm of the year.

Ooookay

So, I have that silly customer service training tomorrow, from like 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Now, it was my understanding that I was going to work tonight, go to training, and not work tomorrow night.

Apparently, I'm not working tonight, going to training, getting sleep, and then working tomorrow night.

Hopefully, the training will not actually last until 5 p.m., considering it is all the way across town, is in the worst part of town to deal with rush hour traffic, and would mean I only get about four hours of sleep before going to work. But we'll see. I've pulled a full shift on less sleep anyway.

Meanwhile, I'm going back to bed,
