Wrinkled toes

My day today was less than exciting, however I have to admit today I was the wettest I have ever been in my career. I stood in knee deep flood water and told people who seemed to have no sense of if I am in knee deep water, or if they can't see my feet then perhaps they should not take their beetle car into the great watery unknown. I swear, I can understand teenagers, and old people, but grown adults. One lady who was trying to go around the barricades used to block the street because of high water... she goes through the bank parking lot, and "thinks" she sees the exit drive. Well what she saw was the cement culvert. She nose dived her old caddy right into that ditch. I get there, still wet from the last help me, help me.. and I just stand in the driving rain, with water running over, in, through my boots. I ask her.. just what were you thinking. She had some asinine reply. I look at the car, and there is her honey bunny man, sitting in the car, with two of the ugliest english bull dogs I have ever seen. She asks me to help her save the slobbery creatures... is she serious, can't dogs swim? She hasn't even mentioned the guy who is still sitting in the ever flooding vehicle. I tell her that she could go to jail, she begins to cry and tell me how she and her babies, are just at the end of their rope. Her and the dogs, or her and honey bunny? I tell her as much as I would like to feel sorry for her, she did a stupid thing and stupid things cost about 100.00 for the wrecker fee.
I manage through the rest of the day, wet socks, wet tee shirt, wet cold polyester pants, and my toes were as wrinkled as my fingers. What a miserable day, but at least no one was killed like in the past. Tomorrow will bring more rain, more wrinkled toes and a wait and see attitude. later yall.

With opportunity to be drenched all day, you don't have to worry about the 'potty on duty' process - just go in your pants
