I don't know if you know this or not, but yesterday Chicago got flooded. BIG TIME. I went to Bible Study, and by the time I got out, almost all roads to my house were flooded. I live less than a mile from my church, and it took me an hour and a half to get home.
Here's what I saw on my way home:
1. A manhole cover shoot off like a geyser was underneath.
2. A car completely under water.
3. No police. Anywhere.
I have never been so happy to live on the top floor of a high rise in my entire life. I am not kidding.
And today? A high of 28. Meaning the water is just going to freeze over, and everyone's basements are going to flood again next week when it warms over yet again.

I may have a job. I do not want to jinx it, but it's looking mighty good for me. They (the company) were very happy with me. And I was very happy with them. This job would be perfect for me too.

I am incredibly tired. No, for real. Exhausted. So sorry this isn't that humorous of a post, or really a long post. But I am going to bed. Have a great weekend folks!
Yabba dabba doo!! I'm thinking happy finance thoughts and sending them your way. First the Flood and then everything is peaceful and nice. I just finished my 4-hour Finance final so we're both happy. Stay upbeat, my little Treasure!

ReplyDeleteUgh. I'm sorry. Glad you got home, though.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean, I would have been better off in a boat than a car last night. I have yet to check the basement..
ReplyDeleteNina - I am too. It was CRAZY.
ReplyDeleteArt of my mind - I was so so so glad I did not have a basement. But then again, if I DID, I would have something else to clean today...hmmm...
what? I live like an hour from there, how come i didn't hear about that? our news SUCKS. well congrats on the job, fingers crossed!
ReplyDeleteum, police around here blow chunks
Dailyelephant, our news said that the rainfall of 2 inches in less than 1/2 hour was the equivalent of 10 inches of snow--so I guess it could be a lot worse--but it WAS a deluge.
