Saving it for a rainy day

Americano parece acha que a parte mais importante do jornal eh quando mostra como serah o tempo no dia seguinte. Se no proximo dia vai fazer muito vendo, Doug grita da sala "Andreeeeeeeiii, amanha vai fazer muito vento, vou tomar meu remedio de alergia", se eh sol "Andreeeeeeeeeeiii... amanha vai fazer sol heeeeeeeein" - isso eh TODO DIA gente!!!! Se vai chover, todo mundo jah sabe uma semana antes e foi assim que aconteceu. Tava falando na tv que ia vir uma tempestade, os clients no Blenders falando que ia vir uma tempestade....veio a tal tempestade. Comecou domingo e parece q vai ateh sabado - o que nao eh nada normal na California. Em San Diego nao choveu por 7 meses!!!
Ontem vi no jornal que sao 4 tempestades uma atras da outra e duas correntes frias se encontrando e o que era frio, tah mais frio. :[ Ontem fui pro trabalho a peh e fui de sombrinha (odeio sombrinha). Fiquei seco na parte de cima, mas minha calca jeans ficou toda cagada e meu tenis... todo perdido no baile!!! Cheguei no Blenders, tirei a meia e intuxei papel higienico. Todo cagado!!!!!


Every American seems to think that the forecast, on the news, is the most important part. They just can`t wait to see what the next day is going to be like. If they say it`s going to be windy, Doug yells from the living room "Andreeeeeeee, it`s going to be windy tomorrow. My allergies will kick in", if it`s sunny "Andreeeeeeee, tomorrow will be sunny". That religiously happens everyday. The thing is...if it`s going to rain...EVERYBODY talks about it in advance. It`s raining since Sunday but people have been talking about this rain for the past 7 days. Costumers at Blenders have been talking about this rain forever. So the rain started on Sunday and it will go on until Saturday. I finally watched the news yesterday and they said it is four storms one after the other and two cold waves meeting. What was cold ...is now colder.
Yesterday I walked to work and I had an umbrella with me (I HATE umbrellas). My torso was dry my jeans got super wet and my shoes were soaked in the inside. I got at work, took my socks off and tucked toilet paper in my shoes. SO NOT GOOD!!!

Um comentário:

  1. That is sooooo funny, but rest assured, it is not confined to America. People in NZ also get obsessed with the weather - often the first thing my mum asks me when she rings form 500km away... "how's the weather there today?, its 32C here - i can't stand it" hahahahah
