Florida would be a great state to live in if drivers just knew how to fucking drive

Like the one guy this morning that pulled out in front of me and by the time I got around him had his high beams on. in fog.
 
I was about to be all :thonk: about hating the weather but then I remembered I've literally only ever been to Florida in the winter when it's gorgeous to escape cold weather here like all Canadians. :// Guess you guys get all the hurricanes and stuff when they're still strong, huh.
 
I feel like hurricanes happen less often here nowadays??? I can't imagine a major hurricane that affected me too badly, at least.
 
Irma was insane for me ughh. Chaos at my store because of people evacuating (and when they were all driving back and we had to throw all our cooler/freezer product out bc we lost power during the hurricane), plus i lost power at my place for a week so we were stuck at my moms house that time.

God forbid we ever get another hurricane and that happens with all the animals i have now @_@
 
Last semester my university got hit with two hurricanes and despite the flooding and high speed winds I still had to go to class because "it wasn't enough to warrant closure". Whereas with Irma which had no flooding, just intense winds, we did cancel school. Either way I definitely feel like where I lived in the US despite being fairly inland has been getting slammed more and more with hurricanes.
 
Gotta love Florida colleges. Not to mention the drivers in them haha. I recall a young driver that stopped in the middle of an intersection to text. While traffic was light, it is at times like these you get to see the potential rage of other drivers.

Fortunately I was walking.

Ah my bad, here I am assuming you were in Florida.

I've been lucky that they seem to avoid hitting my area. I have yet to experience anything major other than weakened tropical storms despite being in Florida. Props for those who lived through the horrible storms.

Eh last time we closed and really didnt need to i was okay with it bc it was a free paid day off for me lmao.

At least it was a paid day off! when we closed for a tropical storm a couple of years ago, I did not get paid

However during Irma I was at least paid because that was more than a week's worth of wages that would have been lost under current policy for part-time employment, and the college has a lot of part-time regulars as well
 
Exciting weather never happens here...and when it does (we had snow last Friday) it disappears overnight so I still have to go to work. Sigh.
