It's 105°F where I live right now.
Our chocolate donuts melted, my sister's eraser became stuck to her pencil, and my poor laptop requires ice cooling to run any games.
It's fucking miserable without an AC.

It was 80f here two days ago, and now it's 45f and raining. Go home, weather, you're drunk.

Ah, yes, my RAGEpost: I really want to sign up for health insurance and all the other benefits that come with it (dental, vision, etc,) but the deductible is so damned high that I'd go broke trying to hit it. What the hell is the point of buying insurance if it's too expensive to use? I could really use the NHS right about now.

After having a work day go a slight bit longer than I expected, I was rushing home to evade a storm; had to stop by the store since my weekend was beginning and I won't be out again for awhile. I got out after shopping to see a powerful storm front. I checked the weather maps to see how bad and for how long it was. I saw a clearing on both the map and the skies, and made my move.

Ever feel like your life is a comedy movie that tends to really hate on the main character? Well, basically, that's how it felt. Why? Because as much a clearing as I thought I had, a downpour came out of nowhere (no visible signs of coming), I'm dodging puddles, only to cross a relatively deep spot that covered both lanes of the road, making it impossible to avoid once I noticed it. End result: It soaks my battery engine block (still had power to start it again), and I begin to sputter to a rolling stop. My attempts to get the thing running again were futile, and I had to roll it to somewhere safe.

I was caught in the middle of a downpour, after a long day of work, with some wet groceries (some items didn't fit; soda 12-can pack and a couple boxes of donuts), on an incapacitated moped, halfway towards home.

Fortunately, despite being soaked entirely (including soaked boots with some field experience to the point of telling old war stories), and having to haul the thing a few blocks, my sister lived nearby. However, she was not home. Oh yeah, and my phone ran out of power too.

Don't worry, it got better by the end; I could come up with worse, but fortunately, I called God out in time (with the local church nearby, of all settings) and drew the line on where His shit stops. Fortunately, a family friend was her neighbor, and offered me a ride home while I leave my moped at my sister's to dry off. She was an old co-worker as well, so we caught up on the way home.

Maybe belongs in the Happy and Accomplished threads, and hell, stick it in OOC while we're at it:
I raged hard enough at my circumstances, I called God out, for being a dick, and things immediately started to improve.

You finally got my call. What kept you?

EDIT:
Screw it. The entire post probably belongs in them.

After reading the whole thing again, I was still steaming a bit, but by the end of it, I couldn't help but to laugh at what the hell I just wrote.

Oh yeah, and I'm not making any of this up, at all; nor do I accept any pity. Still laughing too hard at this. It actually happened, just a couple hours ago. Even I think this is insane, and I just experienced it.

It's not so much raining here as it is that someone inverted the oceans into the sky and is just letting gravity take its course.

Meanwhile, in the middle of the fucking desert Northern Texas...

Seriously, I would take all of your rain troubles away from each and every one of you.

I don't mind the rain so much. I mean, it's not so good while it rains, but it does leave a nice clean smell afterwards.

Bloody FCC attempting to gut net neutrality.

Not after cleaning several carpets and removing tack strips off the floor in a non-air-conditioned house for a couple hours. And rather large houses too, and plenty of rooms to remove them from. I was smelling and feeling gross on my return.

Just got an alert that there is a foot of floodwater about two miles from here. And its still pouring.

Want to trade?

We had one of those close to where I live, too!

Its not that no one has told us, its that our government listens exclusively to our resident psychotics, and are deaf to the cries of all the sane.

I don't get it.
