Hey so, did anyone else notice the sky opening up the other day?
Philly sure did!
This was last Wednesday, and I’m pretty sure I’m still drying off. At least, my soul is.
The rain started sometime in the morning, but it stopped for a bit in the early afternoon. I stepped outside during this dry period for my socially-distanced-and-very-brief lunch and it turns out that was a mistake!
From where I took this photo to the nearest (only) door was about 15 feet, but in order to get there I had to very literally wade through a mid-shin deep pool of rainwater that was in front of that door
(no picture because it was fucking WET and my hands were WET and my shoes were WET and I couldn’t get my phone to work)
So I retreated to my little office where I luckily had a dry shirt to change into and spent the rest of the day miserable.
Me, grumbling: god dammit this is such bullshit fuck
Coworker, shrieking: SOMEONE CALL BUILDINGS, WE HAVE A PROBLEM
Me: What’s the matter?
Coworker: It’s raining
Coworker: IN THE WOMEN’S ROOM
Me: I don’t see this as a problem, really.
Me: All we need is a simple rebranding campaign!
Several Coworkers: what
Me: The library had special lights installed that show you the weather outside! Isn’t that just so thoughtful?
Coworker: So are you going to call the emergency maintenance people, or…?
