cough, moan, sneeze and repeat

Being sick sucks.

I remember wanting to be sick when I was a kid so I could stay home from school. But when I would get sick, I missed all my friends. But I never remembered that once I was better.

Who am I kidding? I still do that.

I called in sick, and The Boss let me, but I'm not sure he believes I'm sick. And I have to go in tomorrow, I have no choice there. But at least I can make sick on Sunday, and get some more rest.

Which I should probably do now. Except that I'm ravenously hungry.

*sigh*

Being sick sucks.

It's So Lovely When Looking Out My Window

Ah, snow. How I detest you. . . .

Yeah, that's right. I'm not a snow lover. I never have been, never will be. The best snow I've ever seen is the inch-long patch that is rapidly disappearing on my sidewalk in full sunlight.

It was snowing so hard today when I left for work that I could barely see down the block. It took me over an hour to get to work. It normally takes me 20 minutes. Yeah, that was fun. But by the time I left, it was nice and sunny, even a little warm. And the roads were nice and clear. Except for those morons who think that wet roads=snowy roads just because there are snow piles on the side of the road. They should just stay home.

The worst part about the snow today: the freight shipment never arrived. It was supposed to be at The Store by about 8:30 or 9 AM today. It wasn't. The Managers called to see when they would come, they gave the ETA at 11:00. I don't know why we believed them. They still weren't there at 12, when we were all sent home after calling them and getting and ETA of 1:30-2. And of course, they didn't arrive then, either. These guys are terrible at ETA's. So they are supposed to be there at 7:30 AM. And this is when I hate my position and wish I was a peon and not responsible for being there first.

I did get permission to come at 8 instead. Blech. Not much better.

We'll see if they show up. Cross your fingers.

Oh, I do get to go to some hot springs on Thursday with some lovely ladies to just hang out, bitch, and bond. That makes me very happy.

Dr. Horrible is my new BFF

You know what else I want for Christmas? This. On DVD. Which apparently you can get. Who knew Doogie Howser could sing? Go. Watch. And buy (for me).
