A Scary, Scary Night

This morning on Jake's Showcase http://youtube.com/JakesShowcase my video "Jake Johnston - "Baby We're Just Fate" https://youtu.be/6iVjLy4hE3Q is at 319 Views 19 Likes 21 dislikes. I write a second early morning blog in a row because last night was crazy.
I got home at 1:57am, that's the good news.
So on my second night going out to St. Thomas for my 4:30 to 1am shift I again cleaned up sales wise on a dollar volume bases and I believe I've now revenued over 75% of my annual $22,000 salary as yesterdays sales were my highest dollar volume yet on my 6th day. I may not be the fastest or technically the best but I'm very good at getting the dollars in with my very "match the caller conversational sales style". In my world of sales, everyone wins.
So during last break someone said there was a tornado watch but the skies while black were clear. When I left the parking lot I could see what appeared to be a lighting storm in the distance yet it wasn't raining where I was. As I went home this lighting storm was haywire. Me on this unmediated highway. The lightening was literally everywhere, thousands of bolts, and the rain started to pour. I couldn't see the road it was so bad. A combination of the fact my windshield wipers are terrible and have needed to be replaced for 5 months and my coloboma in my left eye making all light, especially night light so so intense and the steam in the car made it like I was driving blind. It was absolutely terrifying. I had no idea if I was in the middle of the road if a bend was coming ect and had to essentially pull over. When I got back to the city I got off the mini highway as soon as I could be because London is shaped like a bowl with everything slanting toward the central Themes River I was on an elevated part of town and I believe my car got hit with a bolt of lighting with the loudest crack and the entire car light up. The storm was so bad that while I went into the city for slower traffic and streetlights the lightening knocked out all the street lights and signals and again I was driving in the dark with a waterfall on my windshield. When I got home as soon as I got insight and turned on my computer the entire house's electricity got knocked out and I sat in the dark by candlelight for about half an hour before sleeping. 
It was really scary driving home at dark and with only my second day I cannot imagine doing this during the winter with ice and snow. I have got to get a job back in the city or I may die.
I remember at my last job I feared getting hurt with lifting and then I got hurt, I knew I was just way to small and meek for the job. Here I fear from dying in a car crash on the way home and I think it' a matter of time before this will happen.
While I preform well and make the company lots of money it does not pay enough to move to this town. My life is here and has been for a long time so I need to keep looking again here. Wow I was really shook up.
Remember my full social media released will be 2 hours delayed tonight even though the video will be on time because of this shift change. That's assuming I don't die on the highway on the way home tonight and the entire city doesn't get blacked out. It felt like last night it was a sign of James Dean fate again of death by highway. No doubt something evil and dangerous was brewing from above.
Have a Wonderful Day or Night Fans,
