A Little Fall of Rain

This afternoon, I received this email from my company’s President/CEO:

Due to adverse weather conditions, the office will close at 4:30 PM today with the exception of one person in each department to handle phones until 5:00 PM. Drive carefully!*

*The adverse weather conditions he’s referring to? Rain. It’s true, life in Los Angeles pretty much comes to a screeching halt when it rains.

Kind of a mixed message though. The rains make it too dangerous to stay until 5, but not so dangerous that one person from each department can’t risk it in case an important call should come in on a Friday at 4:58.

The reason that rain is such a big deal out here is that Los Angeles is, for all intents and purposes, a desert. There’s nowhere for the water to go.
