this really stinks

Everyone in a bad mood and we get negative degrees dropped on us just to accentuate the pain.

It was really nice how the holidays lined up this year on a Thursday making it convenient to take Friday off. I cannot remember ever having this much time off while the kids were home.

Today, we all pay the price.

I have a mental picture of Douchebag and Bagels using sick days and meeting up somewhere on Route 59 to watch the NBA games during the day.

I go by the Jan 15-Feb 15 is usually the harshest time, so you make it through that and you're good

That's how I look at it too. Mild December helped me lot. I figure even if its shitty the worst of it will be over in 2 months.last year seems we got pounded from Dec 1 through March.

Nevertheless, make sure you have the vet check your ample soft tissue out ASAP, my porcine friend.

I am sore, will probably go get checked out after lunch. Accident in front of me over a hill and then all hell broke loose. I almost pulled a Kyle Busch sliding by in the median, but got hit from behind by Danica.

Did you get out and look for someone to punch like a man?

No sir, I stayed in my truck and was thankful not to get hit again. Accidents mess with your head a little bit, I had never been involved in one on the freeway like that, which is amazing considering the miles I drive a year.

That is pretty optimistic. I usually count the first 10 weeks as pretty rough most years, although I have
been out golfing by early March about 4-5 years ago. This is a pretty nasty wake up call for 2015 though.

Today is National Whipped Cream Day. I'll be spinning Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass in the breakroom at lunchtime.

Tomorrow is Bean Day.

It's not unusual to have snow falling on St. Patrick' Day.

This is the time to give up all hope until May.

If you need a new ride I'd be willing to part with mine. You know you'd look like one groovy dude in it.

The funny thing is I have been looking at new cars as I want to let my son have my truck. There is damage to the back end but it is drivable, now just have to go thru the bullshit police report and hoping the person that caused this has insurance.

Taking unpaid leave might not be a good idea now that you have to pony up for Mac DeMarco's shoes.
