Rage Season 09-10 Kickoff
Wednesday, October 14th, 2009The first rainy and mildly windy day of the season and of course our power is out, with the absolute incompetence so beloved by this region’s inhabitants fully on display. Wouldn’t want people to know things could actually be done correctly…then there would be expectations.
Seattle City Light employee: Okay, I’ll let the dispatchers know. [Sigh]. I’m not sure how long it will be because we don’t have a report of an outage.
Me: Ummm, I’m reporting an outage right now.
If either of the bumblef**ks running for mayor can convince me they’ll be able to keep my power on, or s**t, even that they can get it turned back on within a reasonable amount of time with only one phone call, they’d get my vote for sure.
Update: Overheard while getting some wifi at Starbucks: “It usually just spits at you here in Seattle.” Which means it “just mists” here. BS. The ratio of full-fledged rain to just-mist is about 4:1. I have no idea why this myth persists. Maybe it’s all the a-holes in their cars who don’t know what it’s like to wait at the bus or walk across campus when it’s raining.
I hate everybody. I’ve got my full-on hate going. Monday it was funny-looking people…today it’s people who are breathing.
