Hurricane Work Day
This is the coolest hurricane ever. I only had to work about 1/2 the day, but I got paid for the full day. Why? Because it is raining outside. And the wind is blowing. It will probably rain all night, and into the morning. The wind might also keep blowing all night. There is no avoiding it now. I will be in a tropical storm sometime before midnight.
Anyway, I get to go to work tomorrow! Thats right! It is my day off, but not anymore. Tomorrow will probably be a crappy day anyway - so why not go in. I will not get overtime, this 8 hours will go directly towards administrative time. So now I can be sick for a day. Or I can request a day off. If I have to leave early, I can do that too. My first week, and I already got paid to leave early AND I will rack up 8 hours in the time off bank. When I work on Labor Day I will rack up another 8 hours in the time off bank.
I might be the ONLY PERSON in the office tomorrow. No boss. No anyone. I will have to answer the phone, if it rings. I will also have to deal with the fax machine - if it spits out any faxes. The Consulate Offices will probably be closed due to some kind of storm, so it could end up being very quiet. There are a few assignments that I will have to do, but these are not a big deal. I think I can handle em.
That is all for now. I wanted to post this before the power cuts out.

Well, gee, have fun with the storm! LOL. I don't think I've seen anyone so excited to have a storm since my Mama died. She did love a storm.
Be CAREFUL, LI.
I've always liked it when it stormed ever since I was a child. Sounds like an interesting job. Good luck.
Just read about this hurricane!
You poor Floridians have been having quite a stormy year.
Hang in there.
Take care, don't stand under any falling trees! The job is still sounding mighty cool.
I'm guessing that the power is out, or you'd be back telling us that you're safe.
You ARE safe, aren't you?
I love it. Hurricanes are so exciting, I've always loved them. I grew up here, so I have seen the good, the bad, and the ugly. But I think that they are so...how do I put it? Breathtakingly awe-inspiring. Dramatic. And yeah, we get time off work...
My in-laws still don't have power. They're in Homestead.
Katrina turned out to be a nasty bitch. A ho bag.
I am out of power and DSL, so I had to take my laptop to Titanic Resturant and Brewery where they have power, AC, wireless internet, cold beer, and food.
More photos and shit when the lights are back on.
