I shared "calling in dick" with the friends I was hanging out with (we were making valentine's day cards! Or, well, I hemmed some pants and made like, one card, while my other friend made 15) and they were highly entertained and by the time I left (seven hours after I got there) we were pretty slap happy and giggling about calling in dick tomorrow. Which very much confused the person who'd just gotten there and was crashing for the night, who was actually contemplating calling in sick tomorrow, having us be like 'Hahahah! you SHOULD CALL IN DICK!! AHAHAH!!"
If you take sexual advantage of her, you're going to burn in a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I called in dick once.... good times.
My coworker came in saying how cold it was, and I disagreed! It's because I've given in and started wearing my puffy coat even when it's up in the 20s. And she is from Florida.

I just walked the kids to school, and let me tell you, it is fucking cold here. I only wore one pair of (wool) socks, and that was an error.

I am wearing my coat rated for -45F this morning, which should tell you something about the weather today.
Ugh, traffic. I just want to get to the office so I can eat breakfast and book travel to Ecuador!

Also my office is nice and sunny and warm. For now.
Why can I not get one good applicant for this job I'm trying to fill? It's so annoying! The posting says 3-5 years relevant experience, and I am getting people with zero years. Zero! I think half the problem is the title. The other half is that it's a one-year position. But I would have thought there would be someone out there!

My plane (which I made by the skin of my teeth, fucking traffic) is sitting on the Tarmac because the water for the sinks is frozen in the pipes. Tubes, whatever.

One year positions are the devil. If I had 3-5 years experience at something, I would only apply for a one-year position if I were desperate.

Yes, it's that time of year when my definition of 'cold' undergoes severe recalibration. Yesterday, barely in the 20s, I wore a t-shirt & a sweater, with a hoodie thrown over it out to the store. Two months ago I would have been bundled like an Eskimo.
(Yes, there were pants and shoes involved.)
