Flooded
I'm doing vacation work for credit towards my degree (as well as the bucks, of course). Since I want to try and maintain some form of anonymity (hence the obscure picture of myself in my profile), I'm not going to disclose where I work.
I've been wondering for awhile now how personal I could be in my writing if I refused to give information about my age, race, exact location or place of study. So I reckon I'm going to try it, and see how far I get:
Back to my story. In short, the parking garage flooded, forcing most of us to run down to save our cars before they were swept away. It's amazing how surprised you are, even when you've prepared yourself for action, when water comes streaming into the lift when the doors open. Wading through shin-high, muck-like water to your vehicle certainly adds a different dimension to ones day if you expected to be parked in front of a computer for 8 or 9 hours.
That said, its home-time :-)
