Well, at least it's a quick storm. (We got it a couple of hours ago.)

And the temperature has dropped several degrees - so that's good.

We could use a drop in temperature - it's distinctly steamy out there.

Ooh. We have a severe thunderstorm warning and a flood watch at the same time.

Also, I hope shrift didn't get swept away by the flood....

Ok. This might be only funny to me, but it just occured to me that the storm in Chicago will probably hit where I am.

I sometimes forget I live in Michigan again.

For instance ... our parking lot here at work is shared with various companies that use large trucks. Everytime one goes into our parking lot or drives by and shakes the building, I always think, "EARTHQUAKE!"

I have interected daily with Dana for approximately five years. In that time she has proven to be nothing short of professional and exceedingly articulate. Dana frequently goes above and beyond the call of duty in ensuring that all parties she works with are satisfied with her work."

Dude! I need Aimee to be my reference, that's awesome!

Aimee gives good corporate double speak

I am happy to be a reference for any and all Buffistas that should want one.

For lo! I am an artist and my medium is bullshit.

I look at it as worker/job fic. With a nosh of non-fic added.

I did not get swept away. I didn't even go downstairs, because the monsoon portion of today's thunderstrom has subsided. Now it needs to stop raining so I can go shoe shopping after work without getting soaked.

When I lived in Michigan, I could always predict the weather by what the Chicagoistas were reporting.

Coworkers are coming up from street level and telling us that the streets are flooding.

Huh. It barely rained here and I'm not that far from the Loop.
