What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?

Frown: More tornadoes last night, and more storms today.

Hope everyone in MO is safe from further tornadoes. I saw some pictures of the damage from the one that hit Joplin. That is incredible what a tornado can do.

What was the closest you got to one?

Do you mean yesterday, or ever? Yesterday, I wasn't close to any, although there was flash flooding where I live. Ever, I've been in a city that was hit by a tornado, but my neighborhood wasn't damaged. A kid I went to school with had damaged done to his house by it. That was in 2000.

I was asking about your lifetime. I never lived in the midwest but it made me wonder how often people might typically see a tornado.

They're actually usually pretty boring. Only a small area is generally destroyed, while the rest of the town just gets a bad thunderstorm. Might be terrifying to someone who isn't used to them though.

Not today, but Saturday:

Pissed me off: Missing my goal time for my 5k by 3 seconds

Smile: Getting home after the race and realize that once the difference between the start of the race and when I crossed the start line that I beat my goal of 23min by 16 seconds and ran the race in 22:44

Nice! I don't think I could run 2500m in 23 minutes let alone 5000.

The ones on April 27th weren't boring. o_o Then again there were over 100 of them that day and the one that hit my town was an EF5. lol

Checked my email and JFE2 gifted me Terraria on Steam.

Smile!

Smile: I received an email last night stating that my company's internet was down due to a major storm. That means I get to work from home.

Frown: Received an email this morning stating all is up and running, so I'm in the office.

Smile: Still love my job though!

Shocked/Happy: Rock the Bells concert is going to be RIDICULOUS

Frown: Got to save up for get tickets

[BoringSupreez]

Smile: Got a package coming from Amazon with multiple seasons of my favorite shows, plus I've now got the Rocko's Modern Life Season 1 set pre-ordered.

Ticked: I wanted to check out Squee's Big Wonderful Book of Unspeakable Horrors at the library, but ran into problems. The computer said it was on the shelf. It wasn't. I talked to a librarian, who checked again for me, then suggested I look in other locations in the library it might have been misplaced. When she checked the records on the library's system, she discovered it had been missing since 2008 (three years ago!), and no one had ever noticed until now. I'm betting it got stolen. My library uses little metal strips placed inside the book that set off an alarm if someone tries to take a book from the library without checking it out but A: the strips are very easy to find, and even easier to remove, and B: the check-out machines mess up so often no one even looks up when the alarm goes off. It goes off like once every 10 minutes, from people walking in with books that were supposed to have been checked out that weren't. One could walk into the place, load up on books and movies, and then steal them all and he would never get caught. Oh well.
