Gotta have that
As anyone who lives around here already knows, the weather is nasty-nasty today and only slated to get worse before getting better. I drove into work a bit after 6AM, and it was just getting started. Hard driving rain, wind gusts that blow your car around, lots of leaves and branches laying in the road. When I got to work, I drove around the back of the building to the rear parking lot where I normally park and pulled into my customary spot next to the building. It was fairly dark as a few of the lot lights are out. I turn off my truck, hop out and head for the rear door of the building. As I do, I hear "Good morning AL!" from UNDER the company truck, a medium sized UHAUL type thing. A closer look reveals that it is John M., one of our programmers squatting down in the dark, under the truck to stay out of the rain while he has his early morning cigarette (no smoking is allowed in the buildings). "It's like my own big yellow umbrella" he adds. John is a tall skinny guy with greying hair and a mostly grey beard. So I say back to him "John, squatted down under the truck like that you look like a troll. I was expecting you to block my way with a stick and make me answer some questions or something before you'll let me in the building!" We both laughed as I ran up the 3 steps and got into the building before I got drenched. Amazing what people will do for a smoke.
