Random Friday Afternoon Blog

I know all two of the people that read this can’t wait to find out what’s going on with my uvula.  The swelling apparently was not a result of snoring and I really do have some kind of weird sore throat thing going on.  This is self-diagnosis of course, but the couple of times the snoring/uvula thing happened before, it always disappeared within a few hours.  So that can only mean two things:  I am either actually sick, or there is indeed a ping pong ball lodged in my throat. 

 Anyway, I’ve managed to work a grand total of two days this week, and I’m angry about working today.  The part of me that is logical understands that this is a place of biznaz that can’t just shut down because everywhere else in the county is closed, but let’s face it, that part of me is a very very minuscule part of me.  The rest of me is bitter like a petulant child because I don’t feel good and want to be at home in my pj’s and I see absolutely nothing wrong with that. Is it too much to ask that we close down an entire company so I can get some rest and not have to use any PTO? Do not answer that honestly. I mean that.

The Mechanical Contrivium

You should totally blog about that!

On an average day, Kim and I will speak on the phone approx. 33+ times.  These conversations range from anywhere between 15 seconds to 5 or 10 minutes.  For the last two days, no matter what either one of us is saying, the response is “You should totally blog about that!” 

 Some sample convos for your enjoyment (or boredom):

Kim:  I am going home for lunch and making tater tots. 

Me:  You should totally blog about that!

Me:  OMG this is the longest day ever and I think my clock is broken and it smells like weirdness in this office.

Kim:  You should totally blog about that.

Kim:  Why aren’t you blogging?

Me:  Why aren’t YOU blogging?

Kim:  I have nothing to say.

Me:  You should totally blog about that.

So yeah, this is a special blog just for Kim.   I have OFFICIALLY blogged about it.  I win.
