Wet
Damn, it’s been raining *all* weekend in San Francisco. Not just a light drizzle mind you, full on pounding rain. Right now it actually is just drizzling though. North Beach is flooded. Downtown is having flooding problems as well. Did you know that downtown is just slightly above sea level? Yup, our drainage system can’t handle heavy rain so all the water goes into the basements of businesses. The place where I used to work flooded a couple of times due to heavy rain. Man, it sucked. In addition to regular basement stuff like office supplies and piles of crap that nobody knows what to do with they also had the server room down there. And a color copying machine. And two large-format printers and a large-format scanner. I can’t imagine what’s happening there right now what with the rain falling all weekend and nobody around to turn on the faulty sump-pump in the back. As the manager of the facilities I was regularly wading through standing water to get at the damn pump. I discovered that large garbage can liners and rubberbands make excellent hip waders. Not too attractive, but effective.
