I wish the hurricane season would just hurry up and end. I'm sick and tired of storms. I suppose I shouldn't complain too much because I'm sitting here with electricity listening to all of the generators running around the neighborhood, since it appears that my street is the only one in this general vicinity that didn't lose power. This is just too much though. We were on pins and needles for Charley, which was supposed to give a direct hit and turned at the last possible minute, we spent days in limbo waiting for Frances, and now we have Ivan following the exact same track as Charley and heading towards the state. Waiting for one hurricane is exciting, but waiting for two or three gets really old really fast. And, it's hurting me financially because I work on commission and people aren't spending money because seeing what everybody else lost puts their callous consumerism into perspective as what it is, and as a result, it's pretty darn hard to talk them into thinking that they NEED to drop several hundred bucks on luxury sheets when their neighbors to the south and east don't even have dry beds, that is if they even come into the store in the first place, which most of them aren't.
