Phantom Snow Pants
Today, I called in "cold" to work. Yeah. Well, not actually--actually I just said that I'd come in tomorrow instead of today. This whole "cold weather really messes with me" phenomenon is very inconvenient. I'm already worried that Job #2 will see me as being "unreliable", because I have to schedule around Job #1 (which hasn't needed me for a couple of weeks, but that's a worry for another post, and one that's been around as long as I've worked there). It's a fairly flexible job, and I want to keep it, for situations like this with Job #1....
The cold. Bad enough I've been forbidden from busing. Last night, the Mad Scientist spent an hour tearing through the house in search of a pair of non-existent snow pants he insisted that we had. We didn't. Now he's set to acquire me a pair of snow pants or overalls or whatever today. Oh, joy. He asked how much I cared about looks, because he was considering some really ugly ones ("not-ugly" costs lots extra). I told him they'd better not have clowns on them.
Oh, and if I wear my own slippers, I can also fit into his insulated winter snow boots. It's going to take me ten minutes just to unbundle after being outside.... Razzer-frazzer Reynaud's Phenomenon!
Note to self: Be grateful you're still allowed to use the fridge.
