worn out Bug
It's a good thing I skipped the weight lifting in favor of snow shoveling because trying to shovel these two inches of frozen sleet was impossible. I tried, I really tried, but I started feeling like my hands were going to form blood blisters from trying to scrape this frozen shit off the sidewalk. Not to mention the stress on my arms and shoulders. I couldn't finish, and I've felt sorta sick ever since. I think if I'd continued, I would've ended up with painfully swollen hands for a couple days.
I completed the work I had to complete today, and then I quit at 4pm, I'll take two hours of sick leave.
T didn't even try to shovel this crap. Usually we split the job of shoveling and it doesn't take that long, except for that 2016 Snowpocalypse when we had two feet of snow and I paid somebody to come over with his snowblower.
This winter we're not really getting snow, we're getting freezing rain and sleet with a bit of decorative snowfall in between the layers of ice. But today we didn't get any snowflakes, it was all freezing rain, then sleet, then it all froze together like that shit on your freezer coils that requires you to unplug the thing and let it defrost. You cannot shovel it, you can only pound and scrape it an inch at a time.
It will be above freezing for a while tomorrow afternoon, but I was hoping to be downtown by then. And I'm not sure having the air a few degrees above freezing will help with shoveling that crap anyway. But then it's gonna be cold cold over the weekend. This neighborhood is gonna take a while to melt out of this sleetstack.
