Been raining very hard here, with high winds for this area.
I arrived at work looking like I was in a wet waitrose uniform contest. Had to go into the disabled toilet and take my shirt off, try to dry it under the hand-drier.
I made sure I switched the chicken rotisserie on well before I went to date-check the items in the chiller.
FSM knows what I'll do if it's like this tomorrow; it's a Bakery shift, so I start half an hour earlier (which means I'm less likely to get in early) and my first stop is the freezer. No choice, no question, straight into -20.

Actually I'll just assume its going to be as bad and wear other clothes to work. And take a towel. The weather report conspired against me this morning, as did a temporary lull while I was getting ready.

One think that did make me chuckle was as I was walking past the mosque on the way home, the wind blew over a recycling bin, out for collection. The chap whose house it was came out in a panic, looked relieved for a second that it was nothing more than the bin, then horrified as paper, cardboard and fast food containers took to the skies, and soft drinks cans skittered away, mosque-bound. As I carried on walking, the last I saw of him was his mad grabbing dance. I did wait a decent distance before sniggering.
