Rain is so NOT awesome

Other things that are NOT awesome:
* Finding 2 holes in your basement wall that pour water from the rain-soaked ground and into your basement.

* The drain in your basement that is raised a quarter of an inch off the ground rather than recessed to allow for easy drainage.

* The landlord that repeatedly tells you that you must have failed to remove leaves from the outdoor drain when you tell her that your basement is flooded. And when you tell her about the holes you found in the wall she repeats her concerns about your failure to clear the drain.

* Sprickets that know how to find the high ground when a flood is afoot.

* The sediment that seeps in with the water and muddies the floor.

* The sick-ass water that gets all over you as you try to save your roommate's posessions.

* Your roommate's lack of renter's insurance to cover all the stuff he lost in this mini-flood.

* Getting drunk because you think it's the only way to save the beers you found in the shorted-out fridge in the basement.

* The smell of mildew that will certainly engulf your house in the coming days.
