split

We hadn't planned on this sort of catastrophe at the office. Almost all of the Company personnel and resources are in Florida -but we've got over a thousand claims here. I love it. The last few days have been completely crazy-but in a good sort of 'let's get our shit together ,organize ourselves and create a work-flow' kinda way. Grab lots of in-baskets and label them. Lock and load the printers and faxes. If you use reams of paper like sandbags, a damncube makes a dandy impromptu machine-gun bunker/ receptionist desk.
Put that desk on the perimeter. I'll pitch in some barbed wire and 3M products, but
I'm not manning it. Don't make me cannon-fodder for an onslaught of the (mostly) deservedly distraught policy-holders. The Company will pay to fix it , but finding contractors is really hard.
They all went to Florida.

If you've a few spare dollars , send it here.

It strikes like days
later
And hours early
sunless enlightened
in mornings forsaken
You go away
But I didn't notice
Because I thought
without thinking
safer
scratch at window
it scratches back
i break it
i break it again
it will not stay broken
this connection
was never clear enough
to be here
enough really isn't
cardboard houses
storage regrets
family forgets
cadence accepts
no forgiveness
forced
pushed
thrown
reminder
