Hurricane Sandy

 I know this is kinda late to be posting this but here it is.  On Sunday night there were a lot of quietness around here.  By nine o'clock on sunday night there was no mass transit at all.  A lot of the train tunnels in downtown manhatten were flooded and some roadways.  On we decided by Saturday night that we would not be working on Monday because of the storm.  On Monday morning we went out to see some waves at the beach before the storm started.  I also should mention that we decided to play some football in the hurricane just to say we did.  By Monday night we had decided not to work on Tuesday either which was exciting.  So on Wednesday when our boss came up we decided that we would just take off for the rest of the week.  We decided to go down to PA to get our books together for our christmas displays.  On Thursday all four of us went down to VA to get the books.  It was only three days and we had already forgotten what it was like to get up at four o'clock in the morning.  It took most of our day to go down and get the books and get back to PA.  When we were down in VA we got a lot of questions from the staff down there.  When we got back to PA we met the new guy that was coming up here.  On Friday we spent most of the day getting the display books together.  We decided to come back to the city on Friday night and spent the weekend hanging out.  The whole next week we did not work either because of the gas shortage.  We decided that instead of having to sit in a line for gas for four hours we just would not go out and service.  Instead we volunteered with MDS.  So we had about two weeks off because of the hurricane which was nice. During this time we cleaned the house and painted one room.
