rain rain rain some more
So, how about that flood today?
I attempted to walk 4 blocks down the street to the American Indian Center. I ran two blocks, walked one and was soaking, sopping, dripping wet. It felt good but not good at the same time. I like taking showers but not with all of my clothes on in the middle of Uptown. So, i stop with one block left to go at a Walgreens hoping the rain will die down. After 15 minutes it didn't so i bought an umbrella and treked the last block to the building.
After an hour and a half, my mommy came to rescue me and we went on our way to go see a movie. you know, figh' dollah hollah at Western and Fullerton, 'cept now its six dollah hollah. it doesn't roll as good off the tongue. Anyway, we were stuck East of all of the viaducts near the train tracks on Ravenswood. We drove around for a really long time along the big, non-flooded intersections. We saw a school bus that got stuck in about 4 ft of water....there were people still on the bus. So, then we drove south down Ashland until we got to Tapatia and got some dinner. Then we made our way to Western to watch Shrek III. By the time we got out of the movie it was like 9:30 and all the water was dried up in most of the places.

Reason 557 Why I hate the Suburbs
I got to come in to work today later then the time I normally come in. I was really tired and since I basically work as my sister's assistant, she let me sleep in. I woke up at noon and I went to buy her and myself lunch. It was really humid and really hot today. It was overcast and even without having seen the forecast I knew that there was an hell of a thunder storm headed our way.
When I came into the office she told me I was going to have to run some errands. I needed to go to Melrose Park and take a check to Crescent City. I also had to go make some deposits and mail out some letters. I decided to go do the farthest thing first and go to drop off the check.
There was a good amount of traffic and it took me about half an hour to get there. I turned on to the small street that the company is on, I didn't see any parking so I was going to park in front of the store right in front of the place, even though there was a sign that said no parking. As I was going to flipe a u-turn, I hit this white ford explorer. I wanted to die. The left hand front light has been smashed in. Its really upsetting. I don't have insurance, so I have to ask this man to please not fle a police report and let me have my cousin fix it. My cousin owns the welding and fencing company I work at, but for many years he used to own an auto body shop. so he's going to be fixing the car. I have to pay for it. I also have to pay for my car which sucks.
So that was today. Yesterday was pretty bad as well. I was driving down central park and I saw the body of the little girl who was shot in the cross fire of gang violence. I had never seen anything more frightening than that in my entire life. I started crying. It was so sad. I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
What a week and its only tuesday.

why hello there people! so i do not understand what is so hard about ordering a sandwich. it is not rocket science. first if you place your order with one person who makes the sandwich and then places it in the oven. it is in there for 1 min and 45 sec. not a long time. so when you step down to the next station and i am waiting to put the toppings on the first thing i ask is " what are you having today?" the average response SHOULD be " turkey wheat" or maybe " vegitarian" but no here are some common responses
1) " um ummmmmmm i dont remember ha ha ha"
so if you dont know what you ordered 1 min after you said it it probably is not a laughing matter you may want to have some things checked out you might have a brain tumor
2) " well i just told that guy down there ask him!"
now my response to this if just fuck you. irst there are already 10 peoplebehind you in line and how is that person going to remember what you had, oh thats right because you are soooooo special. if you are so affended by me asking what you were having then maybe you should go home and make yourself a turkey with swiss cheese and throw it in the microwave.
alright now i realize you are probably like ok she is going to go postal. i just needed to rant. friday robert is coming into town. i only get to see him for like 48 hours but it will be like hitting a reset button. i have the weekend off i can just relax and hang out with him. maybe next week i wont be so grumpy.
i will make a happier post next time
