Cheese With Your Whine?

Meteorologist CassyApparently, that is now a new job function. Since I got here at 7:30 this morning, I have been asked about 14 times what that hurricane Rita is going to do.
"Are we going to lose power?"
"How much rain will we get?"
"Are the winds going to be 'real' strong?"
"What's going to happen if we don't have power on Monday?"
"Can you show me the path again on your computer - is it that internet thing?"
How the hell should I know all this stuff? And then I get this: "Go right now and fill up your car. Gas prices are going to be up over $3.50 very soon." Yeah, yeah. I'll go at lunch. I don't doubt that they will go up. They've already gone up 15 cents since I got to work this morning. Bastards. But there is no reason for mild panic to set in.
CHILL OUT, PEOPLE!!! We will be fine, even if we end up in the dark. Buy some freakin batteries and bottles of water and calm the hell down!
