Oh, fuck me!

Hit -10 here last night/this morning. A couple of towns, Elkton, and Cynthiana, reported -22.

I am so mad at the cold I could kill it. Only I can't. I can only complain and that makes no difference either. So I'll complain and pretend I can stab it right in the face.

Goddamn it! This is stupid shit cold.

Hey, at least you got a new car battery before this latest round.

I thought our car might not start tonight heading out to a high school band thing. It finally did start, but shifting gears was almost impossible.

Well, it was chilly pulling up my dead water pump and installing a new one today. The major problem being no way to stay dry.

It dipped to -12 F this morning. This is when I thank The Shelter Institute for the house locating advice. No wind on my side of the mountain.

Cold temps cracked one of the outside rails on my metro line this morning. Major delays. But it was announced on the radio, so I rushed and got to the station about 45 minutes early, and made it in to work just on time.

Guys, it's cold out there.

Central NC has had a crappy week. Local schools have been out all week. I worked at home for three days - I would have loved all week. We got snow on Monday which was covered with ice that persisted for a few days. There are still some ice chunks sitting around parking lots and some black ice.

I am sick of this cold! I moved south to get away from this for fuck's sake - it's not supposed to be 7 degrees here. Yes, I know there are colder places, but this is the south, dammit. Give me back my 40 degree winters you fuckers

I know, right? I want to yell at someone or something about this cold crap. It won't do any good but it feels like someone (or something) needs to take some goddam responsibility for it!

I'm off Fridays and haven't ventured far from cozy bed and warm electric blanket. I need to go to the laundromat, but it might wait until tomorrow, though everyone and their dog will be there tomorrow when the tropical heatwave of 36 degrees hits.

A little excitement this morning at work. A sprinkler head in the first floor restaurant in our building went off, flooding the restaurant. No big deal, except we have workroom space below the restaurant, and it's raining in 5 of the workrooms as the water finds its way through every hairline crack in the restaurant's concrete floor slab.

I mention it here, because somebody is claiming it is cold related, although I don't understand how that's possible with an interior sprinkler head.

Never rent space below a restaurant kitchen.
