I hate hurricanes.
They cause me head pains.
Everyone wants to complain.
My blood pressure is harder to maintain.
I apologize for the inconvience, good sirs,
I don't know what happened to your shipment of fishing lures,
I'm sorry that you got a package full of wet furs,
Yes, I'm aware that you think we are incompetent curs.
Flooding up and down the east coast.
All of our delivery estimates are now toast.
High winds blowing away innocent mail boxes,
It's almost as bad as wearing pants filled with rabid foxes.
I apologize for the inconvience, ma'am,
For the delay of your Express shipment of lamb,
I am sorry it'll spoil in another day,
But the post office it's at, is now in the bay!
No, I don't know when your post office will reopen.
It's roof was ripped off by that frikkin' cyclone!
No, I don't know when your post office will reopen.
No, no one will be there to answer the phone!
I apologize for the inconvience, miss,
But no, I don't know where your package is!
I'm sorry we can't come to any accomodation,
But thank you for bringing it to our attention.
My stress level is rapidly rising.
If I scream, will it really be that surprising?
Hours of mandatory overtime added,
Working on my day off has been commanded.
I really, really hate hurricanes.
-Val

It could be worse. Just think about how cool it will be if a Cat 3 or 4 slams into the east coast between November 15-30th after the initial christmas present rush?
If you're out of sick days I'd recommend calling in dead a few times.

Just quote force majeure or act of God to people. That usually shuts them up, provided its company policy.
Though it is nice to see you Val put all that anger into creative energy and good talent.

My sympathies, Val. Nice one, though.

Hurricanes sux My sympahties to all who were in any way damaged by it. Although as I watch sometimes on the TV when they show how Hurricane xyz devestated some region in America ( like Florida or sth ) I see those paper-like-made-houses and I say to myself : who the f*** would build a house like that when just a little wind could flat it to the ground. I wouldn't bother if such house was built in a place where there is no hurricanes or strong winds etc.
Here in my country, in the western part the wind is usually strong and reaches over 100 km/h. That's not just a friendly breeze but the houses are strongly built and there is slightly any damege ( if there even is ). Dunno, what do you think ?

Since we talking about catastrophes I really hate earthquakes.
Yesterday for example in 6:00 in the morning was a quit strong earthquake. It remind me the big earthquake of 1999 in Athens.
Well I don't want to describe the situation in the house.
Just realize in my parent’s house (1999) I was in my room.Then suddenly all the things started to shackle .Shit I said.You should watch the buildings out of the window.I could swear they would fall.The cases from the games started to fell and then this blasted sound coming from the earth.When the earthquake was ended there were several later.After some days I got through it but when I heard loud sounds I was scared sightless was 14 years old when this happened  .

Well, it is more constructive then tossing my computer at work through that nice big window near my desk.
