Update on my Rainy Day Adventures

So I finally gave in and e-mailed my boss yesterday and told him that I would be leaving at 4:45. Usually, it's best to inform him of these things ahead of time and then he'll be okay with it whereas if he just comes in here looking for you and you aren't here, then he's mad. So I e-mailed him explaining the situation, etc. The response I got was this: "wuss"! I am saving all those e-mails in case I need them one day! Anyways, it's good I left when I did because I made it to about 635 & 35 before it became and utter downpour. I could barely see a thing, and I had to sit leaning over my steering wheel to even make sense of the road it was raining so hard. Luckily, we live only about 2.5 miles from that point so I drove 20 miles per hour down 635 along with others and finally made it to my destination safely. Thank goodness! But that was not fun and had I gotten stuck earlier in that mess, I probably would have had to pull over to the side of the road and wait a bit. At least I didn't get hit by any hail!
