Some of you, may not know this important info

posted by my agency today.......

Office Procedures Concerning Storm and Office Closings

As we watch the progress of the storm, the following are the
agency's guidelines based upon the hurricane's intensity:

Hurricane Category #1
No excuse for being late. Leave earlier to give extra time to
avoid fallen trees and limbs.

Hurricane Category #2
Due to the horizontal rain, you may wear jeans.

Hurricane Category #3
Whereas most of the area will be flooded we suggest you
avoid wearing open toe shoes when coming to work. Canoes will be
provided to get to the building safely without getting wet.

Hurricane Category #4
More than likely there will be no electricity. Given that, we
will have manual typewriters available to all staff members. Please take
extra caution and wear water-proof make-up if Category 4 or above.

Hurricane Category #5
Velcro will be provided to keep you attached to your chairs when
the windows blow out. For those that survive, we will have chocolate
cake at 3:00 pm in the cafeteria .

Have A Nice Day!

Yea, but there is always potted meat OR sardines.....

**Second Chance** · 08-28-08, 01:27 PM

Oh that potted meat.............gag me, my kids love that stuff. My ex wife's mother fed it to them when they were babies and they still to this day always want some......................

**TXCharlie** · 08-28-08, 01:35 PM

Do they still sell Red Bird brand potted meat & viennas over there? I used to love them things, much more tasty than Libby's brand, but I can't find them over here.

Stay safe! Hopefully the residents have enough sense to evacuate this time if it looks like it's gonna be nasty.

**MonsterMash** · 08-28-08, 01:38 PM

MMMMMMMMMMMM....BBQ vienna sausages are da bomb.

My work told us in the event of a hurricane, if we are off the night/day it comes through.. We are to look outside of our house at the conclusion of the storm... If half the neighborhood is gone, you need to go to work. If cell phones are out, drive by the closest substation to check.

If you are trapped in your neighborhood you are to police your neighborhood. Since I live on the outskirts of town, I told my shift to look out for the crazy bastard with the AR-15 shooting looters from the roof of my patrol car.

Figure after I take out the 15th looter, I'll probably go crazy and begin pulling some Rambo shit with knives and arrows.
