REHOBOTH (FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) - Tropical Storm Irene tore through Massachusetts on Sunday, but days later residents of Rehoboth find themselves without running water. Rehoboth is a well town and without electricity, they haven't been able to get running water. 92% of the town lost power during the storm and the first utility and tree crews arrived today. Town leaders tell FOX 25 that they feel ignored by National Grid.
So I keep seeing all these stories about people still without power and running water, and it got me thinking, what are these people doing for showers? Nothing, right? Like unless you happen to belong to a gym or something you're ass is just straight stank right now? Maybe cleansed yourself in a lake or at the beach or something, but that's about it?
I've never been in that situation myself, but I can guarantee that I wouldn't be rolling into work with swamp ass and days worth of build up in my hair, no way jose. FEMA would be paying my ass for my lost hours at work. I mean, it's a two fold problem. 1) The obvious, you're gonna smell like shit, no one can be productive worrying about what their co-workers are saying about them when you roll into work smelling like an old hockey bag.
And, 2) I just cannot start my day without a shower. Can't do it. I know some people shower the night before so they can sleep in a few more minutes in the morning or whatever, but those people must be psychotics in my mind because there is simply no way to start your day with out a hot shower. More than coffee, I need 5 minutes of hot water for brain functionality to kick in, otherwise I'm borderline sleep walking and liable to just pass out at the drop of a hat like a narcoleptic, just spash face first into my bowl of cereal. There's a reason I can usually sleep all day on the couch Saturday and Sunday if nothing is going on, and that's because I put off showering until the last possible moment before going out. My body just doesn't know I've gotten out of bed without the shower and I'll sleep comfortably just about anywhere.
