I'm scooting about the office, trying to geek out about the tennis, and all anyone's talking about is footie or basketball trades. WhatEV. At least I got the French guy's attention for a second, even if he has no idea how the game is scored.

I'm just not one of the cool kids.

At least my skirt is short.

Go underground, midwesterners.

Footie? This is different than footSie, isn't it?

It is now so humid, I think my bones are melting.

I had the same problem. They all wanted to talk about Australia-Serbia. The tennis match is a record-breaker! Priorities, people!

We also have the TV on for the leadership spill. That's fair enough - this is the first time (IIRC) that a PM has been dumped by his own party within his first term.

I think those are tornado sirens. Crap.

That storm that sumi posted about just hit here a short while ago. It's a very dark charcoal grey outside. I think I'll stay here at the office for another 30 minutes or so and see if it'll stop raining.

Heh. I set off on foot to the train station . Then it started raining. Then the time between the lightning and thunder started dropping from 8 seconds to two seconds before I finally made it to the train station.

I am quite wet, despite an umbrella.

I think those are tornado sirens. Crap.

I don't hear any. Wait, turning off the stereo helps. Yep. Sirens.

Dunno where I'm supposed to go in this building.

Sirens have stopped.

Ah. Tornado warning is for "Southern Cook county."

I turned on the tv to get a more detailed picture. The warning includes the Loop.

Sirens again.

we had an earthquake, and now there are tornados? Is this the apocalypse?
