***bleh***

The sneezey-watery eyed-nasal & head congestion crap seems to have relapsed on me. I am therefore going to name this winter:

 

The Winter of the Un-Ending Viral Crud

I want to shrink down (ala bad sci-fi) and go beat the shit out of the germs who have YET fucking again, invaded my body. I missed game yesterday because taking the Girl out to breakfast & then the mall for a walk and movie *exhausted* me. I got home around 4.00 or so and went to bed. I woke up around 6.30 PM (about 1/2 hour after I should have already been at game) because my phone rang. I probably have slept through to the next day, otherwise.

om nom nom nom nom….

I woke up chew-my-own-arm off hungry this morning. Probably because I ate right before going to bed. Either way, I didn’t have time til just now to actually eat. Hungries had reached to point of “mmm, car paint – that’s probably tasty!”

To Do for Today, non-work related

-> Take “before” pictures and get them posted (probably happening tonight)
-> Finish pile of Girl’s laundry
-> Fold & put away the clean (still waiting to find out if the ‘at gunpoint’ trick worked for takhisis)
-> Plan next week’s menu & post it (again, tonight)
-> Sweep/mop/de-cat hairball the floors
-> bathe the kitties (I picture me doing this in a mesh hazmat suit and chuckling evilly)*
-> Start the passport proceedings
-> play *hours* of CoH — its butt-whomping night!
-> strip the beds
-> master bath

No Clicky!

I am the Lords of Static’s bitch.*

I work in a cool, dry environment**. There is (literally) a metric ass-ton of electronics in here. Resting on metal wire shelves. Cords hang everywhere; overhead, across the tile floor, looped around the shelves to try to keep them out of the footpath (ha ha ha).
I often escape the lab to get a cup of coffee. To do this, I must leave via the electro-magnetically-locked door O’Doom. with the metal handle. Generally speaking , I touch the wooden door itself in a vain attempt to try and ground out the ambient energy. It rarely works.
Today I pulled a goddamn six inch arc off the handle. People across the lab heard it pop. This is over the white noise of said metric ass-ton of electronic equipment running, shrieking, hissing, popping, and ringing. I leaped around for a solid 10 seconds doing “jesus fucking balded headed bleeding christ” dance. You know the one. You see it at mosh pits, occasionally.
I am THIS close to removing the handle from that damn door. I am tired of being lit up like an Xmas tree.


* – No, not a death metal band. But, they SHOULD be.
** – 62F in the lab, at all times. The rest of the building is also dry but is ridiciously overheated.
