Check in here if you got to work ok....

1 hour 45 minutes to get to work...I had to take about 5 detours and drove through water on Southern State at exit 38 about 2 1/2 feet deep and almost had a heart attack thinking that my car is going to just die and I'm gonna be trapped.....half of 110 is closed off and/or in stand still traffic.

All this to get to work today at a FURNITURE store...who in their right mind will be buying furniture today??

LIRR had 30 minute delays when I was heading in to work. There was water pouring into the subway at Times Square. It was NOT a day to come to work! I would have much prefered staying in my bed!

I did!!! But it took an hour to get to work and I leave about 15 min away.


I took sunrise to 109 to pinelawn which is a straight drive to my office (since it is on pinelawn). it normally takes 15 min with traffic...NO NOT TODAY


and some jack@$$ cut me off and almost hit my car. if he did someone would have to be bailing me out of jail right now because i would have been swinging at him...

but seriously in the tyrannical downpour who uses NO BLINKER and comes into your lane when you have about 7-10 feet in between you and the car in front of you to just get into the turning lane. I MEAN COME ON you knew you had to turn hear before it came up so why not get into the lane at a more convenient time @$$hole

I got in okay, thankfully I got here before the rain started, but what furniture store do you work in? My sister is looking for furniture now for her new apartment!

I got in at 9:00.

I pretty much had to swim to the front door of my job, the water was up to my knees. My jeans are soaked and I'm cold and annoyed. grrrrrr.

But I DO think it's kinda funny.

I have attempted to leave 3 times now. Our street was flooded horribly and now the lights are out on 106/107 so I can't get anywhere....

I think this is a forced day off..

A normal 25 minute drive took me about an hour and a half. But I’m finally here now! Only to find that the building was hit by lightning this morning and most of our equipment is fried. Fun!

lol you're too funny! But you're such a smart cookie....I would never think to keep extra clothes at work. I was lucky and it stopped raining for half a second when I ran from my car to work.
