I felt physically better by the evening. But people at work were pissing me off. Another instance of “What the hell is going on in our schools” a guy had a digital coupon for 2 litters of soda. (not sponsored) and was angry because he got 14 bottles of soda and they were supposed to be 99 cents with the digital coupon and he couldn't figure out why his total was twenty something dollars. Well, digital coupons are limit 5. And it took off the five bottles. He insisted that he knew it was limit five, that's why he got 14 of them. 14 is more than 5. He knew 14 is more than five, he works at a school. While I was trying to explain what the word “limit” meant to somebody who insisted ...

Some gunk in the back of my throat making my throat sore. Along with some sinus congestion. Ran out of bacon a couple of days ago so yesterday and today I had a pork steak for breakfast. I was going to have eggs to go with, but those steaks were pretty sizable so having a plate sized pork steak with four fried eggs seemed like a lot. I had just finished cooking the breakfast steak when Roommate came downstairs and announced that his doctors appointment this week is at 10am instead of the 11am it had been in the last couple of weeks and we needed to leave right then because it was just time to leave to get to his appointment. I put a lid on the skillet and since I have an electric stove the burner was still hot when I got back f...

It was the “Supervisor Curse” a boring day is a good day, because if nothing is happening nothing is going wrong. The mocha mix of instant hot chocolate and salted coffee tasted a bit better this morning than it did yesterday. Yesterday I added a bit of milk, today I skipped it and it had a stronger flavor. So I think I'll pass on the milk in the future. There was a bit of drama before I got to work. Apparently the Trans person was fired because sometime last week s/he blew up at one of the carryouts because he was sacking next to him/her beside the register. One of the people who was supposed to be a carryout this morning No-showed again . This was t...

I woke up this morning to a notification of a “Wind Advisory” on my phone we've been having wind gusts going up to 45 mph (72 kph) Back on Thanksgiving I told my Grandma that I was planning on putting up her Christmas decorations this coming Friday. She insisted that she did NOT want me up on her roof if the weather is bad. I thought about teasingly call her this morning and ask if I should go ahead and put them up today. With the 45 mph wind gusts. I know that she would have said no, but it would have been fun to mess with her. But I could just not wake up today. I had the regular bacon and eggs for breakfast. With breakfast I put a pack of Hot Chocolate...

My head feels like it was hit by a baseball bat from the inside. And my legs are stiff and sore. My throat was sore the last couple of days, it doesn't hurt this morning so I don't think that I'm getting sick, I just think that I overate yesterday and I'm recovering today. I wasn't looking forward to going to work this morning. I thought that I was working the self checkout lunch. I wasn't feeling good and I wasn't looking forward to dealing with other people who are also probably recovering from over eating yesterday. I knew that I feel bad, and I don't know if other people will realize that they feel bad and will try to blame everybody else for the way they feel...

So I don't know how much I weigh. I am off Thanksgiving so I bought some Hot Cocoa last night and woke up early this morning to try to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade (not sponsored) but apparently you have to have an antenna to watch the broadcast on TV or have one of the various streaming subscriptions. I did find a couple of live streams of it playing, but it was just being filmed from somebody standing on the side of the street with a camera as the floats and balloons went by. It just didn't feel right. I did like the hot chocolate this morning. I microwaved some milk to make it this morning, but I think I'll put some in my coffee tomorrow morning. Appar...

No “Low Battery” no error message, nothing to indicate that it has any issue. I just step on it and it has no reaction. I opened the battery compartment to see if it just needs new batteries and the entire battery compartment is just corroded away. There's a lot of corrosion on both ends of each of the three batteries as well, so I'm not sure if the corrosion came from the batteries or from something wrong with the scale. But either way, the scale is dead and it'll be a week or so until I'll be able to get a new one. They don't cost very much, but I don't want to spend that much of my weekly allowance on a bathroom scale. I typicall...
