Glass Is Half FullCats and dogs...
It's Wednesday morning, somewhere around 9am in my office on an uncharacteristically gloomy day. I'm talking overused bootleg Photoshop-produced clouds type of gloomy. Now entering day four of Mother Nature's rainy onslaught upon Southern California's usually sun-baked streets, I let out a slight chuckle and mentally "tap out" as my still-drenched jeans and suede sneakers are causing more discomfort than an atomic wedgie during a packed pep rally. If you're in a different part of the country and you're thinking that I'm whining about a little rain, you're probably right. But keep in mind we don't get this strange liquid-based substance falling from the sky very often, so when we see a week of non-stop storms, bad things tend to happen. Drivers here don't react well to the water-and-oil-infused freeways and foolish mistakes go hand in hand. Accidents tend to slow our already over-crowded freeways to a complete standstill, and busy areas are often shut down due to flooding. This is generally the time that I discover my wiper blades are far beyond their useful stage. Also, I never requested that new pool in my backyard thanks to an overworked drain. This isn't pretty.
