I woke up sick as a dog this morning. I’m freezing, my head is throbbing and my throat is on fire. And I do believe the Mucinex Mucus Man and his family are moving into my chest. Bring on the annual bronchitis bout! Sitting through work today was sheer hell but at least I have the next 4 days off. Of course I have to go up to my sister’s tomorrow for the familial farce that is Thanksgiving (and again come Christmas). My sister and her husband offered to have Thanksgiving at a later date if I’m not feeling up to it, and I guess that was a nice gesture. But an even nicer one would have been if they offered to bring Thanksgiving down to me this year so I didn’t have to go out. But that’s too much to ask I suppose so off I go tomorrow. Hopefully we can go up late and leave early. There’s no reason to hang around there long and I know they don’t want us to anyway.

Anyway, to everyone out there…Happy Fucking Thanksgiving!!!

So we had a small film crew at my job today. Turns out it is for some job recruiting commercial. But from the reactions of everyone you’d think it was a big budget Hollywood deal. Everyone dressed to the nines. And when it came time for them to film our section, everyone practically trampled over each other to get in. In the end all they had to do was sit in front of a blank computer and pretend to type…for about 3 minutes. Then it was over. And I of course ducked down the back stairs when it started because I really am that unfriendly and anti-social.

I know I’ve posted before about how I’m usually only allowed about an hour and a half to myself when my sister takes mom to bingo. Well now that little scrap is most likely going to be cut down to only an hour from now on. They tried the bingo at a new casino and mom liked it better. The only problem is that it starts earlier and therefore ENDS earlier…so that means they are home earlier. Because, God forbid my sister should maybe take mom out for dinner or something that wouldn’t cut into the only time I get for me. You’d think maybe sister dear would take mom to bingo on a day that I’m home so I could have maybe 3 or 4 hours to get myself together. But no…that would be an inconvenience to her and might benefit me and we can’t have that now, can we?
