Well, it’s almost 9:00am here. I wonder when God’s gonna get with the program here? There’s looting to be done once the christians are gone, and I’m on a tight schedule here. ---

I am seriously in a quagmire here… Should I call in sick… or just not show up? I mean, if I am going to meet Jesus, I’d rather be whipped out of a movie theatre than zapped outta my freakin’ cubicle… ---

Well, my E-mail had been unable to receive messages for three days, and I spent four hours on the wires talking to tech people yesterday, to no avail. This morning, I rolled outa bed at 9:45, and Ala-ka-zotch! My Outlook Express is healed! **Heeeeeeeeeeealed!!!** So, after three days in the wilderness, what grand message did it deliver? Big sales from West Marine, Barnes&Noble, JCPenney, and Eddie Bauer; two hot stock tips, a dormcam, two naked dating services, three Viagras, and a Banned CD. Feh. I deleted the lot of them. Oh, and by the way, the Ten Commandments are gone from the courthouse in Alabama. Howzat for a sign? 😛 ---

Darn. I just opened this thread now and am I prepared to meet the Lord? No. Oh, well, I’ve still got about three hours. It’s getting dark outside, too, so it MUST BE TRUE! No sighting of Planet X yet, though. However, the green background of the olive tree website burnt my eyes like the fiery pits from hell will surely burn all the left-behindies. ---

We had floods! I had to take the long way home from work. But that section of highway often floods when it rains. The desert doesn’t soak up water well and creates what are known as “washes.” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/rapture-coming-this-wednesday-wednesday-wednesday/197596.md?page=3) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/rapture-coming-this-wednesday-wednesday-wednesday/197596.md?page=5)
