I don't like tornado's much. Never have. Ma & Pa would never let me watch the Wizard of Oz because of the tornado at the beginning. I can remember going up to where my dad worked during tornado warnings. This place was all brick with a really cool cellar thingy. Come to think of it, our house is all brick too. Why did we have to drive all the way across town then? Hmm...have to ask the parental units that some time. Anyways, when we went up to the telephone office I remember being terrified. All the times we went up there tho, I can only remember going into the cellar thing only once. Hmmmm....again...... So, my house now has no basement. The crawlspace access is in a closet. Not real handy if ya wanna take shelter in a hurry. Sunday nights storm took me by surprise. I knew bad stuff was coming. I was looking right at the radar when the tornado sirens went off in C-U. The radar had absolutely NOTHING in CU. Everything was in Decatur. Didn't even have a green rain blip over us. I was trying to put the new cat carrier together in a hurry so I could get over to a basement at a friends house. My scanner was on and I hear a Champaign cop say he heard a "freight train" sound over by the Assembly Hall. DAMN. I think I made the 1 mile trip in about 45 seconds. The cats were definately not happy. Neither was Kath. I hate tornado's. I looked around yesterday. No damage at all at my house. Good. On my way to work yesterday I went by a house behind me and they lost a tree in the front yard, BUT, the Christmas lights were still on the house. That's so redneck. Last year we had a bad storm and I was listening to the scanner. A tornado was sighted "at the Urbana WalMart". So they set the sirens off. GEESH, the damn tornado was already out of town. What's the siren gonna do? The people east of town can't hear it. I didn't even leave the house then. Thing was way past me. I hate tornado's.

So it's today now. I'm playing Executive Assistant to the President today. No pay raise. Not even a pat on the back. I do get a free lunch tho. Today is sushi from Miko. YUCK! The one time I get free grub and it's raw fish day. ICK. Maybe I can find something cooked there. Like a hamburger or a ham sandwich. Doubt it. So, I got nuttin much to do when I'm at this job. All my stuff is at my desk. Can't do much of it up here. The big fella hasn't even got here yet. If he doesn't show up i'm gonna be pissed. I know he is suppose to leave at like 1 today so i'm only up here for part of the day. UGH.... Ok, well i'm gonna go now. Our IS department is probably keeping tabs on how long i'm on the internet.
