Looking for something to stop rain

[Zeeky Boogy Doog]

See above. Yesterday at work there was some heavy rain that caused a fairly large puddle to accumulate near a door, I need to find something that will soak that up as it comes in and/or after a puddle has already begun forming.

My google == teh fail, mostly because I cannot even figure out what I should be looking for, any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Edit: a solution to the problem is not what I'm looking for, my boss won't fix the door or install an awning or anything of the sort, I'm looking for the stupid solution that makes everyone wonder why the hell they didn't just install the awning.

A giant sponge.

Install an awning?

Well maybe watch the commercial again, and it might happen!

That is not an option, unfortunately, I wish they had installed one and really have no idea why they didn't, but I'm just finding a quick patch, not solving the problem.

I say we take off and nuke the site from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.

How about just mop it up and then caulk the door?

Fixing the crack would make too much sense, I need something worse than that. Those shamwow's might be what I'm looking for, I'm still not entirely sure.

Get rid of the door, no more leak.

Close, but then the a/c gets out all day.

Then I refer you to K1052's previous answer:

What kind of crack do you mean? Is it the sort caused by a misalignment of the door relative to the frame? Or is the door itself cracked?

Get that great stuff foam. Cover door with plastic food wrap to prevent the foam from sticking to the door. Fill crack. Remove plastic.

alternatively, sneak in around 3am & cover everything around the door with the great stuff foam. Make that... 10 cans of foam. Leave a note that says "I'll bet your employees never have to mop up rain water again! Bwaahaahaa"
