23 April 2008

Rain, rain [More:]
Fuck off already
And don't come back for at least a week.

(I know it doesn't scan, but it has a certain intensity of feeling that I think the original is lacking.)

Working on an exterior, made some good progress yesterday, need the hours to make rent, and instead I'm making rant. Gah.
Seriously. We've been swamped here, and I'm fucking sick of it, as I'm sure the farmers are as well. I just had two guys dig a ditch in my yard for a new sewer pipe because there was only a 20% chance of light rain, and the goddamn ditch got washed out in a sudden storm, complete with marble-sized hail.

Jeebus. I know! I went in on Monday, we decided it was too cold, so I did about 1/2 hour tidying up from some interior stuff I'd done (work I was saving for, well, a rainy day). Still hadn't warmed up, so I headed home. At which point it decided to hail. For the second time in a week. What the fuck?

Luckily, my uncle's wife was making waffles when I showed up, so at least I got waffles. And a cup of my uncle's thunderfuck coffee.

Good lord, don't make the rain stop where I live. We need it, we CRAVE it, we gotta have it. We have been on serious water restrictions for quite some time, and we cheer whenever we see the reservoir totals rise. I say let the rain stay!

And on preview, elizard, may I have permission to use the term "thunderfuck coffee"? I usually call mine weapons grade, but I like thunderfuck SOOOO much better.

Making rant?

Did you put down newspaper first? :)

Sorry 'bout the rain... wish I could send ya some of our sun.

Ha! When I read your post title, I added "FUCK YOU" in my head.

I was hoping for some nice Portland spring weather as a send-off, but it's been freezing and raining and just awful since, well, since October. (I'm so lucky I get three weeks in Florida before I head off to England!)

It has been, like, 15 degrees below normal here in the northwest for the past week or so. It's getting very old. . .

Plus I have a bad cold, which I went home from work with yesterday. Having a cold IN the cold just sucks.

msali, on behalf of the Pacific Northwest and the Canadian southwest coast, I give you permission to take all the rain you could ever want. And then some. You would have our eternal gratitude (as per danf's & Specklet's comments). I also personally grant you the use of the term Thunderfuck Coffee TM to use in reference to your own spoon-melting brew in perpetuity.

*pines for some of Pips' sun* (also, heh.)

Oh, sure, *now* the sun comes out. Now that I've finally broken down and split those hard-to-split rounds of wood and got a roaring fire going and it's much, much too late to go to work. Sure. Thanks a lot. You'd better come back tomorrow, Mr. Now-you-see-me-now-you-don't, or I'll shake my fist impotently at you. Again.
