What a gorgeous day today was! I wore a nice skirt and tank top out, flip flops, etc. Then I get to come home to find out that the governor declared a state of emergency in Massachusetts. We can't drink any water unless it's boiled or bottled. There was some big ass leak somewhere and it's affecting 2 million people east of the city of Weston.
We went to the store just to buy a few bottles, as naturally, we're hurricane survivors, we have no problem boiling water and OMG it was INSANITY. We also did our weekly food shopping but people were so confused about why there wasn't any water. Uh, HELLO? State of emergency usually means people freak out. So when you go to the store a few hours after it's been announced, don't expect to find what you're looking for and then curse the store manager out when you can't get any bottled water. Please crawl back into your hole and don't come back out. Thanks.
Well, this is just a good excuse to start drinking milk now, isn't it?
This is Massachusetts, we freak out if it snow a dusting. LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteI like how panic overrides common sense and suddenly yelling at managers is absolutely acceptable.
ReplyDeleteGet over it, find another store.
Rock it, mama, you can do anything.
Wow! I remember a couple of years ago when there was a rumor of a rice shortage, and idiots all over America bum-rushed every Walmart to buy out all their sandbag-sized bags of rice.
ReplyDeleteThese emergencies sure are good for manufacturers of Stuff People Don't Really Need but Think They Will Die if They Can't Get NOW.
ugh glad Aquapocalypse is over! I tried saying that word to my boss, and have never been so embarrassed (apparently i can't pronounce things) At least we now have 4 cases of water to last us the rest of the year.
