Rant, Rain and Chinese Food

Sorry about that little rant yesterday. It's just that it's bad enough that we all sit in cubicles with so little privacy, and then to have certain people sneak around behind you when they come over so they can see what you're doing on the computer just frosts me. Grrr. What do they think? They'll "catch" me doing something? I don't know. So, instead of standing at the corner of my desk and letting me know they're there ("a-hem") they sneak to my back where I can't see them and stand there breathing over my shoulder. It's one of my pet peeves. And it seems to be very deliberate, which makes it worse. I never to that to anyone.

Anyway, it's been raining so hard and for so long here that the rivers and creeks are starting to flood, some roads have washed away, there've been landslides and houses losing their footing. It's crazy. You know it's been raining a lot when you can no longer trust the ground you're walking on to be solid and stay in place. And then, last night was funny because it was windy too. I ordered Chinese food at about 7:00 and sat down to wait ("South Park" was on in case you're interested; that really awful one with Cartman and Scott Peterman, the swindling of $16 from Cartman, pubes, the horse and the weenie, Radiohead, and the chili-cookoff - not my favorite because of the whole eating the parents thing at the end - ick. That episode is Cartman at his worst.). But it was windy and I kept hearing noises on the porch, and banging on the door, and I got up and checked to see if the food was there at least six times before it actually came. Sit down, is that the door?, walk over and check, no, go back and sit down, is that the door?, walk over and check, no, go back and sit down........you get the idea. And when the food finally came the delivery guy was so thrilled that my porch light was on and my address was visible - he must have been having a very hard night. By the way, the food was excellent. Barbecue pork and lemon chicken last night and, for tonight, chicken lo mein and wraps. yum yummmm.
