Imperfect Storm



Seemed like whenever we began to head into stormy waters, a passenger would joke about hoping it wasn’t a Perfect Storm.

I tried to keep ambivalent about it, but eventually I cracked, and when the next person (a poor innocent Japanese girl) made a comment, I let loose.

I explained that the origins of the phrase were that it was originally a positive thing, and that even with current usage, imperfect storms were far more frequent and far more dangerous.

Of course, for a bunch of reasons, that directly led to me firing. It was a…

Horrible set of circumstances.
