\"Rain\"<\/p>\n

It’s been raining, it’s been pouring. And man, has it been boring. And a little creepy. Today I left a meeting and was walking back to the office. I was wearing sandals, much to the concern of a group of construction professionals.<\/p>\n

Construction worker 1:<\/strong> Honey, I got a towel. Can I dry off your feet? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Construction workers 2-7:<\/strong> [gaggle erupts in giggles, high fives ensue, stereotypes of the construction work break live to die another day.]<\/p>\n

I suppose, given the lack of a proper shoe, my feet were wet. It’s been raining for 19 of the past 23 days. Everything is wet. The other footwear in my closet is probably wet. I don’t even<\/em> know.<\/p>\n

I thought about replying in kind with an offer to shove the aforementioned towel in a place where the sun don’t shine. But on second thought, that place seems to be very much here<\/em>, so I doubted it would prove any point similar to, Your offer, kind sir, is altogether inappropriate<\/em>. The weather has succeeded in watering down my snark, and let’s not even talk about my hair.<\/p>\n

So I played undisturbed and scurried on. In my haste to escape, I nearly lost a sandal. And then I accidentally hip-checked an old man. He looked up, smiling (did I imagine this, or was he impervious to the rain?). “Good morning, miss,” he said. And I felt suddenly sunny.\u00a0 Incidentally, when I was younger, I thought the lyrics were “And I wonder, still I wonder, who’s Doctor Strraaaange.”\u00a0 Can’t win ’em all.<\/p>\n
