NOTE TO SELF: Do not leave the office during a 40-day flood.
My quick bite with Lunch Friend turned into a 2 hour cluster fuck! I pull the car into park, grab my coat to drape over my head (I have no umbrella and I think the coat will actually cover more of my body than an umbrella would anyway), and anxiously step out into the monsoon. I immediately regretted that step and even stopped 4 times to seek shelter under overhangs and contemplated running back to my car to call and cancel even though I was already soaked. By the time I finally made it through the front door of the restaurant, the entire back of my shirt, one sleeve, and all of my pants were completely soaked and literally dripping where I stood.
After much bitching and a little eating, I left lunch friend to try to go back home to dry my clothes before I go back to the office. I can't very well go back to the office in completely soaked clothes. God forbid getting home should be easy in this weather. Almost every street I turned on was blocked by too many cars attempting to cross deep waters or the water was too deep for me to even attempt to cross. AAAAAAGGGGHHHHHH!!
I finally make it home, throw my clothes in the dryer, and go to the bathroom to re-straighten my hair. 30 minutes later, I'm driving back to the office. Why is it that when you are in a hurry, you catch every single red light in your path?
I should have known by that first phone call today, that the day was going to turn out this way. YUCK!
Now I've got to go fight traffic again to go to one of the other properties to host our Tenant Holiday Party. Chalk this entire day up as El Crapo!

I wish that we had rain. All we get is fog, thick fog.

Aw, I was hoping for a Project Runway update! I missed it last night because I was wrapping Christmas presents for my step-daughter and making arrangements to get them to her without her actually having to talk to me. (It's a long story.)
Oh, and Sass? That movie, it's called Night of the Comet and was all about that whole Haley's Comet once-in-a-lifetime marketing thing. Just FYI. So, yeah, sadly, I remember it. Two hours of my life I'll never get back.
