Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Also, our hot water heater decided to stop working, and it's 52 degrees out. I am not looking forward to that shower.

I feel your pain -- urs was out fr 3 1/2 weeks after the basement flooded. Heat some water in a big stockpot, and take a spongebath. And you can keep water pretty warm all night and day in a crockpot. It sucks, I know.

It's apparently the thermal coupling, and Tim already sourced a replacement part and is coming home early to replace it. (Although I have to shower before that, because we have to leave at 5 for a meeting. And I really do need an actual shower, because I haven't taken one or washed my hair since Sunday, and I have to stand up in front of a room full of people and give a presentation, so I need to be clean for my peace of mind.)

Ugh. waiting for a call back. I reached out to senior leadership this morning about some serious concerns I have about the direction of our department and risk to talent. Would appreciate any stay focused ~ma so I can get everything across without sounding like it's a bunch of complaining.

The showers are sketchy as hell. I'm just going to gird my loins and take the fastest shower ever. There may be screaming.

Wow. You have ovaries of steel. I'd wear flip-flops and use a sketchy shower over an ice cold one anyday. I'll JUMP into cold water and get out immediately, but an ice-cold shower fills me with fear and loathing.

They always test my glucose, too, and that's always fine. So I've got that going for me.

Mine has been fine 99% of the time, but they also check my glucose because of my family history.

Anyhoodle, I'm just mentally preparing for all the fist-shaking I'll be doing at the universe when I go in for a physical and my numbers still aren't great despite massive lifestyle changes because genetics.

but an ice-cold shower fills me with fear and loathing.

When I ran the hot water tap in the bathroom sink, it went from ice cold to...room temperature, if the room hasn't had the furnace turned on yet. So, basically, a touch "warmer" than cold.
