Interesting

Two interesting things happened yesterday:
1.) While I was driving to an appointment in the afternoon, the rain that had come down so heavily and so quickly, that where there once was normal suburbian streets, now flowed a strong river. This was the first time I had ever driven in so much standing (or should I say rushing) water. Thankfully most of the other drivers lowered their speeds and moved toward the center of the road. I really felt like I was in one of those Weather Channel clips – watching people try to make it wherever they are going while battling with nature. It was interesting and a little nerve-racking to say the least.
2.) Then on my way home, the rain and storms continued but in a most unusual way… the lightning was fierce. Again on another suburbian road (going home a different way to avoid the rivers) a bolt of lightning streaked out of the sky and directly into a power line. Consequently, the brightest flash of light, I have ever seen, a huge fire “pop” and then smoke.

It was an eventful afternoon. Today seems to be right up there with yesterday’s interesting events. It just does not seem to end. The task for today was complete a job application and mail it to the company… easy enough you would think. But then you have issues like printers malfunctioning, missing details, and questions as inane as: what is your typing speed? Who knows these things? Thanks to a friend, we found a test online. But in college, I think that we all figured our typing speed was either as fast (or faster if you were adding in sidebar comments) as the prof spoke. Or how long it took you to type up that paper right before it was due at class. This is where the real typists emerged… their word-per-minute was not what mattered, but rather who could turn that paper in before being docked a whole letter grade. Or in the study groups who had the most amusing notes. So you see who really cares what the word-per-minute is… us Ave grads and students know we can rise to any wpm challenge and type however fast we need to! *victory violin music softly starts in the background*

Hope your afternoon is a better success than mine:
