Man...this blows. Yet another day at home from a great job because of an awful cold. I don't know how my coworker Pam worked through this if she felt this bad. I must say. she's pretty tough. I know I'm bitching, but that's what sick people do, and you know what? I feel that sick folks have the right to do so. We don't ask for this. Colds and injuries and pain and all that crap make no sense.  Stupid bodies breaking down even though we take care of them. I wonder why I live in this area sometimes, though I cannot fahom that there are people out there who don't experience four seasons in a year or know what snow looks like. I can't believe I'm typing about snow right now. Anyone else think this barrage of Christmas commercials is a bit much this early in the season? I liked it when I was little and the presents were the exciting part. That part drives me fucking crazy now, and makes as much sense as this bastard of a cold that is making my computer screen look blurry. I need to go check if I'm drooling on myself. I hate whining and complaining, I really do, but there are times when you just have to. So, I'll sign off with this for everyone to think about: I just watched "The Price Is Right" (without Bob Barker!! Drew Carey's funny and all, but it's definitely strange) and one of the prizes in the final Showcase Showdown was a giant American flag. Are you serious? Shouldn't it be up to YOU and you alone if you want to own one and be patriotic or whatever? I'll be patriotic by saying that sucks. So do Rockettes commercials and tissues when your nose is falling off of your face. I should be writing cover letters right now. That rant felt nice, though. I'm supposed to go see Jimmy Eat World in the city tonight, but I'm having a problem standing to take a whiz. Awesome! OK, I'm seriously done now. Thanks for reading.
