Total effing whine here. It was mid-50s yesterday, and now I'm cold this morning. Is this fair? No.
It's not fair because I'M cold. If others were cold, and I was warm, I'd be fine with the state of affairs.
But I was talking to a customer who is in ND yesterday. At 3pm Eastern, so 1pm her time. It was 3 (yes THREE) degrees there. High today expected to be ONE DEGREE!
I told her there was no way I could live there - she has a space heater, a hat and gloves in her office. Said that yes, they heat the building to about 68 degrees, but one can only do some much with a drafty old office building.
A co-worker is in Idaho and said that they were expecting over a foot of snow this weekend. He mentioned that the store was cleaned out of things like bread, crackers and eggs. Then he commented that you'd think these people were part of the Donner Party.
Had to remind him that those folks ATE EACH OTHER!!! Damn right I'm stocking up on bread! I'm buying a goddamn case of it, so that when I'm buried in my snow cave in the mountains awaiting spring, I can throw out a safety slice when the knives come out.
Then another co-worker said that he now would forever have a mental image of me holed up in a cave tossing out a slice of bread like I'm feeding the ducks.
Perhaps, but I'll survive, and that's the important part.
John would bring several cases of beer, but he wouldn't survive, cause he wouldn't be willing to toss out a safety can if needed!
