So how is everyone today?

**Mizicke5273** · 02-12-2008, 01:17 PM

Well I wake up today to find out we got about 2in. of snow over night. Good no problem. I get up go about getting ready for work. Bout to leave when my mom comes home from work early. Tells me the roads are really bad, accident on the turnpike so traffic is backed up and down to one lane, a few accidents in Pittsburgh so that means the streets there are kinda bad too. So I say piss on goin to work today. I really dont feel like driving 1hr & 30min+ in this weather today especially when its only supposed to get worse and I have to drive back in it at 9pm. So I called off, sittin in my room here nice and warm. I think Im about to go watch a movie and have a cigar while Im at it.

So how are you today?

**chefchris** · 02-12-2008, 01:24 PM

Enjoy your day off.

I am fighting back an on coming cold. My throat became soar yesterday and isn't any better today. I took some thera-flu last night and was asleep by 10pm. Then woke up at 11:30pm wide awake. So I got up and watched Logan's Run and finally fell back asleep around 4:00am. Then got a wake up call at 7:00am to inform me of my interview. Been up since. Not feeling too hot. I just went to WalMart and got some medicine and rented The Assassination of Jesse James by the coward Robert Ford. Gonna lay down and rest. Wish I could light up a smoke.

You've got my sympathy. I wouldn't have a clue what to do in weather like that. I would freakin lose my mind having to stay inside all the time.

another day at the office, I did get to chat with a nice lady here, always brightens up the day

actually, it's been quite warm here for the season, highs around 70*, makes for pleasant smoking when I get off work

That cold came around here in Dec. I was lucky enough to get it on Christmas vacation. Everyone's different but that cold sucks the life out of you. It's 3 days in bed if you do not get the coughing part. Blocked ears also comes within 5 days. It takes about 3 weeks for this one to leave you but you will be feeling a lot better in a week. I am sorry, your young and strong I am sure you will do better then the people I hang out with....

I'm sitting in my cubical putzing around online. When something happens at my job things get pretty crazy, but then there are the slow times too, just waiting for something to happen. Plus its like a monsoon outside right now.

spiffy

**Mizicke5273** · 02-12-2008, 01:49 PM

Im enjoying it, although I would rather be at work since I really like my job and I dont get paid sittin at home. O well guess you need a day like this everyonce in a while.

Sorry you're not feeling well - dude Zicam. It's a homeopathic remedy that you can find at any larger Px chain or grocery store. Some people say BS, but I take it exactly like the label says and it works.

Ya, my girlfriend was telling me about that stuff yesterday. If I'm not feeling better by tomorrow then I'll go back and pick some up.

Thanks.

**bigwhiteash** · 02-12-2008, 02:13 PM

I have used zicam, and it does seem to shorten the duration of a cold noticably. it works in the nasal membranes where most of the germ reproduction occurs.

Hope you feel better

Not tryin' to be pushy - but one of the directions is something like, " . . . at first sign of cold". So, the sooner the better. And, there's no substitution for lots of rest and fluids.

**cinda** · 02-12-2008, 02:31 PM

It always seems to happen just when you get a new job you get sick..or there something real important you need to do at work and you get sick.

**Mizicke5273** · 02-12-2008, 02:32 PM

Oh you may want to try some Honey, Lemon, and Whiskey for your throat. Always works great for me.

**Lopaka** · 02-12-2008, 02:52 PM

Me personally, I've enjoyed my last 2 weeks off and I'll enjoy the next two weeks off before I head back to work. No, to head out for my run...

**nhcigarfan** · 02-12-2008, 03:08 PM

I'm procrastinating today. I can't seem to stay focused on anything for long.

**drew_goring** · 02-12-2008, 03:19 PM

I am having an amazing day. I had to skip a class this morning so I could be around for the Rush pre-sale.

Didn't expect too much. I heard a lot of bad stories about pre-sales.

Ended up getting a pair for me and a buddy on the floor, row 4. Very excited. Especially since I bought them for face value, and was prepared to spend quite a bit of coin for tickets if I didn't have any luck on the pre-sale.

**bigwhiteash** · 02-12-2008, 03:26 PM

Sweet!

I have seen Rush probably 8 times, mostly early 90's, but they have always put on an amazing show.

**ashauler** · 02-12-2008, 03:51 PM

I've been in meetings off and on all day today.......non-productive, beauracratic (sp?), mind-numbing drivel. Now I'm back in my office, processing the results of the non-productive meetings...

i.e., putzing around on the internet.

**Sporadic Metonomy** · 02-12-2008, 04:14 PM

...working with videographers all day on a "humorous" Valentine's Day video. I have to go to the grocery store later to purchase ingredients for a special Valentine's Day meal for the girlfriend.

Yay. No time for cigars today.
