Ike.....is that you?

So - are you ready for the hurricane? I'm probably not the only one, but I kind of like the excitement of an impending storm. Is that sick? Maybe it's because I know its a cause for schools to close and companies to shut down. Because I like not having to come to work...I secretly wish for it; it makes me happy. So I just finished watching the live press conference of Mayor White and Judge Emmett and they just let everyone know that unless you are in a field of work that is required for storm conditions, i.e. police, fire, or transportation, you should not be at work...you should be preparing for this huge storm that looks bigger than Texas! But...I'm at work and I'm none of those. I don't really consider my job as a paper pusher necessary to help with a storm. Granted, if the storm hit my building, my papers would be all over Houston. So, why the hell is my company open? I'm keeping my fingers crossed and watching for the email that says we're closing. Until then, I will watch the news. Stay safe everyone, tie down your patio furniture and bring in the toys....oh yeah, and go clean out the shelves at your local grocery store and wait in line for an hour for gas...it's good for you and good for the economy! :)
