It looks like when the storm hits it will only be a category 3..yeah ONLY...
I got the hell out of Baton Rouge today - went home to a suburb of New Orleans. If the big one is coming, I'd at least like to be with family.

How's this for obnoxious and unsafe: Boyfriend started new job today. He'll be doing some computer work for dredges out by Morgan City once in awhile. Main office is in Covington. Supervisor lives in Gonzales (a 'burb of Baton Rouge). The supervisor had him follow him TO HIS HOUSE, park his car there, and then head on to Morgan City (where the hurricane was heading for!!!) So on the way back, the guy didn't have to commute - he was home. And left my boy with a 2 hour+ drive home with everyone getting out of Baton Rouge.

I don't care that I've never met this person - I can't stand ANYONE who puts my baby in danger like that!
I hope he gets a call from another company he'd applied with. Its a job that doesn't require any travel or unsafe stuff like this. The 40K they're paying him for this SO isn't worth it
