If we're still at work at 3:00, there will be chocolate cake.

I don't know who wrote this but I love them.

...

As we watch the progress of the storm, the following are guidelines based upon the hurricane's intensity:

Hurricane Category #1
No excuse for being late. Leave earlier to give extra time to avoid fallen trees and limbs.

Hurricane Category #2
Due to the horizontal rain, you may wear jeans.

Hurricane Category #3
Whereas most of the area will be flooded we suggest you avoid wearing open toe sandals when coming to work.
Canoes will be provided to get to the building safely without getting wet.

Hurricane Category #4
More than likely there will be no electricity. Given that, we will have manual typewriters available to all staff members.
Please take extra caution and wear water-proof make-up if Category 4 or above.

Hurricane Category #5
Velcro will be provided to keep you attached to your chairs when the windows blow out. For those that survive, we will have chocolate
cake at 3:00 pm in the kitchen.

Snerk!

Um, about the thing you wrote me about last night, if you are not dying, is it okay for me to type up the next part and send it on it's way so you have it?

You know, for in case you want to use your laptop battery for important things. Like indulging me.

I'll tell you about my morning later. I will say this much. I do get to wear jeans on Friday! (That's like one of the few good things. The other side of the list is much longer.)

The cake is a lie! er.

Hopefully it won't come to that.

Canoes, but no life jackets, and no cake until it's a Category 5 storm? That's corporate America for you.

We did have donuts with sprinkles on top for breakfast.

I had to comment on the choice of music for this entry...
Appropriate soundtrack is appropriate? :P

We have no hurricane here but my brother brought home chocolate cake the other day, I feel guilty now.

MMMM CAKE!

Yes, the song has been being played a LOT.

Long story short:

I'm over reading Part 2 of Flying Kites, using a sick day as an excuse to get caught up on all of your fic I've missed, and the tag "omg we're all gonna die"" caught my eye and made me chuckle. So I had to see what the post was.

And what ho! I had just moved to Charleston when that "hurricane" hit. It was like a little welcome. Or a warning. Or something.

Anyway, ::waves::. Back to fic readings now.

I do appreciate some good overreacting. :)

And they certainly seem to do that well, here. My Huge Weather Nerd(tm) friend lives in West Ashley and likes to tag winter weather updates with "#omgsnow09". I'm pretty sure he's using it ironically, but the people who catch on to using it usually aren't. :)

At least the panic and disorder when it rains is slightly founded; it seems like any time there's rainfall at all the whole city floods and floats away.

It used to be worse. I remember one time about ten years ago when I was stopped at a red light downtown and a dead fish floated by my car.

BWAHAHAHA. I read that line to my boyfriend and he cracked up.

Whatever you do, DON'T GO INTO THE CITY. I hear there's gonna be weather.
