It's been raining all day again and I'm getting really antsy. I want to go out and play with my new miner's pick! If it doesn't quit raining soon, I'm going to grow webbed feet! I don't feel like cooking or cleaning, I just want to go outside, darn it anyhow.
Last night at work I almost got blown to OZ. It was raining and blowing in the dock door so bad that I could see it flying across the ceiling. I was afraid it was going to soak the machine shop's computer, so I went to shut the door. I got within 3 feet of the door and the wind and rain hit me so hard in the face that it knocked the breath out of me. I gasped my way to the control for the door, and when I got close the wind blew in again so hard it knocked me off my feet. I went flying backwards toward metal racks full of steel rods. Luckily there was a chair sitting there that I grabbed onto as I almost fell over it, and it broke my fall. I was never so scared in my life! All I could think of was "Aw s--t, this is really gonna hurt!" I told my boss that I wasn't going near that door again unless he found something to tie me to first. He told me I better gain some weight, and next time find one of the guys to shut it!
It rained like this last summer too, and my garden did terrible. I'm afraid everything is going to rot! Something has already eaten most of my melon and squash plants, and I'm afraid all this rain is going to keep the slugs in the garden. I keep putting beer out, but the rain is diluting it every time.
Any way, I just wanted to complain! I'm bored stiff, nobody is around, and I have to go to work in 45 minutes.
