    I don't know what this crap is in my lungs, but last night I coughed so hard I passed out.

    Get yourself checked out.  It sounds like you could have a case of bronchitis.

    If olive oil comes from olives, where does baby oil come from?

    If vegetarians eat vegetables, what do humanitarians eat?
  • I was promised snow today. This is not acceptable.

    I got snow today in Alabama. Now the power is out. Meh. Glad for flashlight app.

    Yeah the wintery conditions missed me. Was all ready to work from home but then nothing!

    This despite all the schools/county stuff being preemptively closed the day before.  On the plus side, I've never had such a quick drive to work or home. There was nobody on the roads, and I drove home during normally the worst time of rush hour!

    We're looking at about three inches of the prettiest, fluffiest, quietest kind of snow here in Central Virginia.  :x

    But it'll be gone by tomorrow afternoon.

    I've had precisely that several times over January, and it makes the bitter cold totally worth it.

    I could appreciate the snow and ice outside if the power was on. We so rarely ever get snow here.

    I'd offer to give you lot the snow in New York City, but we're busy dumping it in New Jersey.

    I got snowed in, but someone came to get me from the bottom of the road (I hiked down through the cold). The fun part is going to be hiking back up the mountain.

    It was -45 here last night.
    Everiine is a man, and is very manly. This MAN before you is so manly you might as well just gender bend right now, cause he's the manliest man that you ever did see. His manly shape has spurned many women and girlyer men to boughs of fainting. He stands before you in a manly manerific typical man-like outfit which is covered in his manly motto: "I am a man!"

    Yuck. I'm just glad the power is back on now so I am toasty warm.

    Or not. It's back out again. Glad I charged my phone. Please excuse me whilst I light a candle and proceed to grumble.

  • Almost everyone at the office is either sick or has been sick recently. Not sure if I am imagining it but I am feeling a little off too. Please wait until after the weekend because I have a trip planned. Meanwhile I hope my immune system keeps fighting the good fight. Probably a good thing you can't see germs with the naked eye, because I bet the nice and toasty office is just teeming with them.

    If you think you may run the chance of coming down with a cold or the flu, load up on vitamin C and echinacea, both help boosting your immune system against colds and the like (either take a vitamin supplement, eat citrus fruit or hit your local juice bar and buy an 'immune booster' themed drink - they usually contain things like Lemon, Orange and other stuff rich in Vit C. )

    You guys would probably hate me >_> it is around 70 F here at the moment >_> (and it is nearly 11pm at night)

    Die in a fire.


    (Just kidding. If you happen to have a fire, send it our way.)

    We keep getting promised snow and then it turns out to just be more rain and high winds. I have now had not one but two days this year when trains I was trying to take were delayed/cancelled...by landslides. Not something you expect to hear in London.

    But then I didn't expect the Victoria tube line signal box to get flooded with quick-setting concrete, so there you go. (Lulz our public transport).
  • I will be in London this weekend so it better not snow. I did take cancellation insurance on my Eurostar ticket just to be on the safe side. 

    And yes, been getting my vitamin fix, drinking loads of water, and have chicken stock at home. Whipping up some simple chicken soup with that is easy, and that stuff is the miracle cure to so many things. May have a cup of that tonight, for extra hydration + electrolyte replenishment.

    I think you're relatively safe, as the snow is only predicted in Scotland/higher altitude areas. We are getting a lot of the wonderfully vague 'wintery showers' predicted down here.

    This is exactly what's going on at my house. Literally everyone that's passed through here has been sick with a stomach bug, and since the house is like a family Nexus, that includes my g-ma, mom, sister, two aunts, at least two cousins, and the kid one of the cousins babysits.

    I still feel fine, but the bug is apparently one that incubates for precisely five days, then incapacitates you with diarrhea and vomitting. Praying my immune system is up to snuff!

    The buying center for my company that operates out of Atlanta is shut down, apparently Atlanta is having literally some of the worst traffic in history because of the weather. People abandoning cars and sleeping in CVS, Costco, and in their cars. I feel sorry for them. 

    I'm also 95% certain Virginia is trying to kill me. The weather here has made me perpetually sick and/or dying for the past month.

    edit: There's also this crazy woman who keeps calling my work line asking if my name is Katy. I've hung up on her 4 times. She then calls back and tells me that Katy keeps hanging up on her. I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR CRAZY, MA'AM.

  • Transplant to New Orleans. These shotgun houses were NOT designed for winter. It is so cold in here I'm sleeping with four quilts at night. The palm trees are dying outside. Schools are canceled for iced over bridges. This is not supposed to be New Orleans.

  • The IT refresh at work is delayed to May. Four more months of Windows XP, IE6 and Office 2003. :((
  • TurnusTurnus The Big Bad Wolf
    On the topic of people going to work sick. I absolutely hate when people do that! Two weeks ago my office was like a quarantine zone. They're not doing the company any favors getting the healthy half of us sick either.

  • I work in a grocery store. I have to deal with the sickies, on an almost intimate level, daily. Luckily for me, we have some -awesome- homeopathic cold fighting stuff that I get to take for free while I'm at work, but that has not prevented me from catching a case of the sniffles. 
    I just hope it doesn't develop into something worse D:
    A whisper from the trees and a frosty presence tells you, secretly, "But you are strong, little 
    flower, and wise." The voice shifts and expands, becoming more real. "And everything you just said 
    in the ritual made me feel safer. You should, too."

    If I do go to DC and you're there, gonna call you Katy all day now.

    Going to be hard to call me anything curled up in the fetal position wondering if you are going to vomit up your testicles or not.
