Freeway's flooded, couldn't go to work. Ask me anything!

[catzies]

Good morning Lounge Lizards, my name's Catzies and I'll be your hostess today. What'll it be?

[ewagner]

1. You in california?

If so what part?

[catzies]

2. Yes. Ventura County. Between LA and Santa Barbara. Coastal.

Woke up to a tornado watch, which has since been lifted.

But the Ventura River is overflowing and onto the bridge that crosses it, thereby closing the 101 freeway, which is how I go to work in southern Santa Barbara County. Evidently mudslides a little further up the coast on the same highway are causing problems too.

4. My son

is in San Diego for a convention........wonder how it's going down there?

[catzies]

5. It's pretty much the same throughout Cali,

exc. some spots worse than others. Hope your son's okay.

[ewagner]

16. He just called

hadn't heard from him in two days......he's okay....

the conference is waaaaaaayyyy too much fun..........

[Squatch]

3. Best. Excuse. To. Miss. Work. EVER

Sorry, boss. Rapture and all that, gonna miss work today.

[amazona]

6. do you still get paid?

If so...Whoo hoo!

The conservation movement is a breeding ground of communists
and other subversives. We intend to clean them out,
even if it means rounding up every birdwatcher in the country.

[catzies]

8. Yes. I'm the office manager and do payroll. Everybody gets paid today

act of God and all that.

[Beaverhausen]

7. Do you have leaks in your home like me?

I have to go home at lunchtime and dump the buckets!

I am so sick of this rain.

[catzies]

9. So far, no. Roof's a year old and holding up. Gutters overflowing

And they were clean; the just can't handle some of these downpours.

I am sick of this rain too. Sorry about your house leaking. Where are you?

[Beaverhausen]

10. I'm in Glendale

My landlords keep hiring these people to "fix" the roof who obviously have no clue what they are doing.

I brought in a licensed contractor last week to look at it but his quote was "too expensive" for them. So now fixing the ceilings and walls that are damaged will somehow cost less???


:wtf:

[tigereye]

11. I was late to pick up my kid at school last week

numerous roads were closed due to flooding here in SW PA. PS "Water is not the homeowner's friend", as my husband likes to say.

[catzies]

12. That sucks. Short-sighted people! Argh!

Do you have to put tarps up?

[Beaverhausen]

13. They put tarps up. They have "fixed" the roof numerous times

and still...drip drip drip.

I don't know anything about anything but clearly the roof has a leak in an area that they haven't yet figured out. But as soon as it stops raining they will send another "roofer" to hammer some shit up there and throw down some tar.

I hate to have to move but I may have to. I can't deal with landlords who won't spend a little more money now get the job done right.

[catzies]

14. You'd think stupid cheapskates would take better care of their assets

I mean, a landlord insensitive to the needs of his tenants is one thing, but to let your income-generating property decline is absurd.

You must have yourself one brain-dead idiot of a landlord. Symapthies.

[Beaverhausen]

15. My favorite thing is she keeps getting her sons to try and fix it

yeah...that works. NOT

[catzies]

17. If I were you I'd take lots of photos for future ammunition

You just never know, so be prepared.
