“I got entirely soaked. I had a umbrella and everything, but like it wasn’t enough.”

Like, on the way to work, there was also quite a bit of rain. Like, um, last week, it was me coming home, like after work there was rain for one day. The other day I brought my umbrella and everything, but it didn’t rain on my way back. It did rain during the — when I was working though. And then for this week, yesterday, actually, ran — it rained on my way there. So I was, um…

Basically, I got entirely soaked. I had a umbrella and everything, but like it wasn’t enough, ’cause the rain was a lot, plus a lot of wind as well. And, yeah. I ended up having to go to there, change my clothes into my work uniform. And then, you know like the, the air dryer for the — like the hand dryer in the bathroom? I basically used that for a little bit on my clothes and my wet bag. I did bring a change of shoes, like kind of Crocs-like things for — I changed into that to walk there, and then my actual like tennis shoes were in my bag, a plastic bag, so that stayed dry, thankfully. But my clothes in my other bag, my tote bag, where I put all my other stuff did not stay dry, so that was not good. But eventually it dried out, and then, um, I wore — I changed back into the clothes I wore on the way to work on the way back. So that also dried during that period.

Um, so that’s pretty much it, but like honestly, there were even people, like, who stopped me on my way there, just like, “Do you need help?” ’cause like I’m walking through the rain, the wind’s blowing so hard, they were like, “Do you need help, like, driving anywhere?” I’m like, “Nah.” You know, stranger danger, even if they’re nice. But also, like, some people were just like, “You should go home.” Like, “Nope, I got work.” That’s sad. But you know what? I actually like being in the rain. It’s just like the after, the aftermath of it, like having to clean up the water and everything. Drying. That’s the thing I don’t like. But I do like being in the rain. That itself feels nice, especially during hot days.
