cold

How do you call in sick when a lot of your colleagues are going into work sick? Not only that, when I got in to work today, they had turned the heat off. Old building. It was so warm on Friday I left my window open in the office. I was cold all day, never warmed up. Dripping nose, much sneezing despite several doses of decongestant. Wait a minute... did I get this wonderful spring cold from... them???

Good thing I didn't try to get hockey tickets. At least this way I am firmly ensconced in from of my TV watching the Canucks work their magic. (oh yeah, don't read the rest of this blog if you're watching the game later on tonight on your PVR) A bowl of soup in the micro, a hot hockey beverage in hand. (back east they are called "hot toddies") Hockey rinks are too cold when you're under the weather.

Hockey rinks in cold weather climes... now that's worthy of another paragraph. Atlanta Thrashers are rumoured to be heading back to Winterpeg... good chance I think. But they'll stay in the Southeast Division? Winnipeg in the Southeast Division? A rose by any other name I guess. At least it cuts the number of NHL rinks that are melting under the hot southern May sun by 1. Puts another team back in Canada. May in Vancouver and I'm freezing in my office. Hot toddy in hand and the Canucks are up by one at the end of the first. Shit. Schutt. Shoot!
