Let me out - no, in!
Sep. 12th, 2007 06:41 pmIt was windy today - very, very windy with some strong gusts which I would guess at 40+ knots.
I went on supervisory visits today and couldn't get out of the car because the wind blew the door shut every time I got it more than a foot or so open. I just had to sit, fortunately only for about 5-10 minutes, until the gusts died down - even then I could only just open the door!
Coming back was worse - I sprinted across the car park trying not to get too wet just as an enormous downpour started and the gusts started again. Now I couldn't get the FRAKKING DOOR OPEN! This time I was on the outside and getting wet. Just had to stand in the rain until the gusts stopped - fortunately only a minute or two but even so, I was soaked to the skin, even through my jacket. I drove back to work and got out just as the sun burst through.
Oh the witty remarks I got:
"You look wet" (my secret response - "Come here and I'll show you what wet means!!!!!!" and no, I don't know what that means but I wish I had said it.)
"Is it raining out there?" - this from a person who has to almost shout to be heard over the sound of the hammering rain.
"Did you get caught in the rain?" No, I put all my fucking work clothes on then thought I'd have a shower!
AHAHAHAHAHA People!
