Strong winds, heavy rain...

...and a drunk co-worker texting us all about Black Panthers and Muslims and making completely inappropriate comments about one colleague's wife because, well, why not, right?

Maybe his phone will run out of juice soon.

Let's hope so.
Glad you are safe.
Except for the co-worker.

I feel bad for him in a way. We have a young woman in our section who contacted me individually about the strange and inappropriate messages. I had told her what I believed to be happening based on history with this guy. This is the same man who was drunk and slurring his words on a conference call a couple of months ago.

Under other circumstances I would say that his job might be in jeopardy, but I believe our manager drinks to excess as well.

I really need a new job...

Dang, that's pretty bad. Sounds like The Office off the rails version. Hope you are ok, though.

The coastal areas of the state are flooded. There are many, many trees down here. Across roads, onto cars and houses. Lots of power outages. Amazingly, I still,have power at the moment, although the lights have been flickering quite a bit. I may but on my boots and a hard hat and go begin picking up fallen limbs in my yard.

Stay safe Seren.

Sorry about the texts. Annoying.

My guess is a mobile tower or two will be put out of action soon, if not already.

I'm OK! I decided not to go outside and pick up limbs yet after opening the door and seeing the trees still bending around in the wind.

I can't imagine how folks are doing in Florida and Texas and Louisiana and Montana with the fires! I hope and pray that clean up and recovery will go smoothly!!
