A chilly morning

Wow! I didn’t realize it was Fall already!

When I looked up at my desktop weather widget my eyes popped out and I said something like, “3 fucking degrees outside!!?? (37.4°F)”

It’s going to be a chilly walk into work this morning. Not looking forward to it.

I’m not ready for this cold weather yet!

WTF Is going on??

I blame it on the Hadron Collider!

Looking at the long term forecast doesn’t give any hopeful feelings of nicier weather either. The temperatures are dropping quickly.

The leaves are starting to change already. Telling us Canadians that it’s time to start bundeling up.

I’m all for this global warming you know that. Because I hate winter!

I woke up Thursday afternoon with a fever and I was aching all over, and not to forget the constant stream of nose dripping.

About an hour before it was time to go into work, I decided it would be better to stay home and rest up and hopefully I’ll feel better for the weekend. I knew if I did go in, I would probably end up having to come back home because I was really feeling terrible.

I thought that Wednesday was the worst it would get but I was terribly wrong.

So hopefully tonight I’ll feel a lot better and be able to cope the weekend at work. Just wish the drainage of the nose would stop.

Here’s crossing my fingers to feeling better in the next few hours. Don’t want to miss any more hours from work. People get grumpy and wallet gets lighter.

Thats what I was saying with every breath that I took when I woke up today.

My sinuses and throat felt like they were going to burst into flames with every single breath that I took.

I was feeling a bit under the weather when I went to bed last night (5am so really morning) and now I’m all achy and shooting flames from my face.

I can’t believe how often I keep catching everybody’s germs at work. I don’t get it though. I am constantly washing my hands, so much that they’re drying out, so you would think that would prevent catching other peoples germs.

I know I got this one from work again because there were a couple of sick people last week that were sniveling and sneezing all over the place. Who knows, this might be the same bug going back and forth between people and it’s just mutated to making you breath fire now.

I don’t go into work till 10pm so hopefully I feel better by then. Unfortunately, I’m broke and don’t have any loot to buy any cold drugs. I over spent a bit on toys and went off budget. Ooops!

Well holy snapping arsholes Margaret! I walked into work last night and nearly froze my gonads off!

The wind was blowing and the snow was spraying all over the place. The walk was constantly being blocked by huge snow drifts.

I was wearing my Chef pants too and they aren’t very good at blocking the wind. Both in and out hee-hee.

It does NOT look like spring outside to say the least. It is the same outside as it would be in late January and mid February.

Spring my ass! It’s not Spring as far as I’m concerned. I think Larry should send some of his Vancouver  weather over here to help out.

There’s really no point in waiting for the weather forecast anymore because it’s the same G’D thing every day. Snow, snow, snow and more snow, with some blowing snow.

All I can really say now is, I can’t wait until Summer, then maybe then it will feel like Spring.

This is the time of year when the weather gets so cold it can freeze the balls off a brass monkey.

The heat is included in the rent that I pay for the apartment here, but it seems that when it gets really cold outside, the heater can’t pump out enough heat to fight the cold coming from outside.

The windows are new and there aren’t any drafts or leaks in them, but when it’s super cold outside, it still makes it way through.

I had the super look into it and she had some guys take a look and that was it. I remember one of the guys saying to the other one, “It’s the same problem as the other units.” So it’s not just me, but I never heard from them. Never heard if it could be fixed, or if they will fix it.

The other day, it was getting chilly in here and I just said, “Fuck it!” and went next door and bought one of them portable heaters.

It’s nice and cozy warm in here now.

I really hate the cold! So this seems to be the only way to fight the chilly willies.

I am only using the heater when the building heat can’t put out enough, and the heater is one of them Energy Saving ones that supposedly don’t suck up a lot of power. So spending a crapload on power bills won’t be a problem, I hope. If it does though, I’ll be a pain in the apartment owners ass by constantly asking when they’re going to fix the heat.

I would be on their case about it now, but I just don’t have the time or energy to waste on it.

….but I’m also still sick, still busy at work, still burnt out.

Busting my balls at work isn’t a good way to get well either. So the more I work, the less I heal.

I am not as sick as I was a few days ago, but still sick enough not to be wanting to be sitting on the computer.

So I’m still here, but just not well enough to post anything,… besides, it’s not like I have the time anyway with work burning me out. We had the Chinese New Year, The ECMA’s and now Valentines Day. busy busy busy!

Just hang in there. I’ll be back again soon. Just need to shake this bug. In the meantime;

Happy Valentines Day!

I hope you all get some!

Yup. It seems there’s an endless supply of the stuff. My head hasn’t turned into a raisin yet from dehydration. The snot flow just continues to go, and go, and go. Apparently from my eyeballs, as Corey pointed out, or as teeni put it, melted brain tissue from overheating, but I said one would need a brain for that to happen, so that theory is blown out of the water.

Work was really busy from the ECMA Awards that are going on all over the city, and because of them the Bars and clubs are allowed to remain open until 4am instead of the usual 2am closing times. So the drunks are probably enjoying that.

Speaking of drunks… There was this one guy that came to the restaurant and sat in the chair and never ordered anything. He just sat upright with his eyes closed. Sorta’ like he was meditating or something but clearly drunk to complete pickled brain state.

The manager, and the boss both tried to have him leave because he was not ordering anything, and was probably freaking out the other customers. Well he just sat there meditating. So the Boss, supervisor, and the Manager decided to help him out by dragging him out. Well didn’t he start to go all crazy in the lobby! The Boss, supervisor, and Manager apparently had to take him down! Three guys! Had to take this drunken idiot down! I guess he was throwing punches and everything.

Then the cops came, and didn’t the drunken boob decide to take some punches at the female cop! MACE TIME! They planted his face on the frozen pavement and tried to handcuff him. After the struggle they finally managed to get him in the back of the police car and one of the Officers came to the back office to write his report and I guess the guys are pressing charges too.

After that was all over, we were egging the guys on with, “Woah! That’s why you don’t mess with the boss.”, and “Way to go Rocky!” and “Look out here come the tough guys!” They were all sheepish as they walked through the kitchen.

So besides it being super busy, it was pretty entertaining too!

As for the cold, it has moved into my sinuses and chest. My head feels all clogged up and my chest is congested also. The fever is almost gone, but still there enough to make my skin all clammy. With it being in my chest, it causes me to be out of breath really fast when I do anything taxing. Sucks to have asthma and a cold at the same time.

So I’m going in again tonight to do it all over again. Last night went very smoothly and the time flew bye fast, so lets hope tonight goes as well, and hopefully I’ll have some more stories like the drunken meditator!
