    My poor wife. I always buy what I want or need so she is always trying to find something to surpise me. She got me a seat cover for the back seat of my truck. That should help keep the dog from making it muddy when we go biking.

    A friend gave her some bottles of muscle milk since her husband didn't like the flavor. I drank one and started vomiting. They had gone bad and now I've got food poisoning. Felling much better tonight but last night was a struggle here at work.

    I like the banana muscle milk, but now you've got me scared!
    We don't celebrate Christmas, but tend to work during the holidays so my co-workers get a chance to spend that time with their families since it means more for them. We like to do surprise presents at random times of the year for our family and friends.

    Scary morning! At 3 AM as I was driving through the industrial park I startled a very large cow moose along the side of the road. She startled the heck out of me too! Luckily she didn't run out in front of me but buckec and jumped and ran alongside for a moment. There are a lot of warning signs along the highways here but this is only the second time I've come across a moose this close to town. Usually it's deer. At least a couple times a week. Glad it didn't end badly for either of us.

    Goodness! Glad you didn't collide with that moose! We have trouble with deer here. I haven't hit one, but both of the work vehicles have come in close contact several times. I can't imagine what their body work bills must be like.

    On another note, it's looking like I might be back on night again soon. Pretty good bet a position is going to open up soon at one of our spots, and I plan to nab it if I can! Indoors, climate control, WiFi, easy walking, sounds pretty good to me! Not to mention a pay raise!

    @canadjineh holy hell, deer scare me enough

    @jennifer_417 I hope the better job comes thru!

    I have fallen off the wagon in the most glorious of ways lol. But I'm getting back up on it and moving forward.

    I'm working too.... time & a half for Stat holiday (Yaaay).
    Welcome back Bethanie!!
    I hope you get your choice job, Jenn!
    Howdy, Dead_Mans_Party!
    Hope your tummy is feeling better, sufferlandrian!

    On the 'crap news' front - I lost all my personal keys (car w. fob, truck, house, shed locks, etc) and my office door key in the snow while on a volunteer shift with my husband Friday night in a big snowstorm. By the time I went to go to town on Saturday morning (borrowed my hubby's keys) the area where I likely dropped them had already been plowed. So.... they are probably buried in a snowbank somewhere nearby.
    I shoulda just stayed in Mexico.... :(

    I got the job! If all goes well, I start in 2 weeks!

    @canadjineh - bummer about your keys! Mexico looks beautiful though!

    Thank heavens the holidays are over. One more day and then back to only 110 hours a week. Can't wait for June.

    Bethanie! Too bad you are ill but at least you both get it over with at the same time.
    Ugh 110 hours a week. June can't come soon enough I guess.
    Yahoooo, Jenn! Congrats!!

    @Dead_Mans_Party - what do you do?

    We've been miserable together but we've hung out and watched TV together. Even though we're sick, we laughed and joked so all in all, not a terrible way to start the new year. I'm toughing it out at work today bc I don't want to lose my holiday pay. Hubs is hanging at the house.
  • canadjineh
    canadjineh Posts: 5,396 Member
    I think it's always easier if you are both sick at the same time.....then no one gets irritated by the sniveling and whining (because you're both doing it ;) )
    Coroner.... Wow, that left us all speechless. A tough job that's nowhere near as glamourous as TV makes it out to be. That makes sense with your avatar name.

    Being sick sucks. I dont feel great but would also loose the holiday pay if i called off. Its been a horrendous shift this evening. Very busy.

    My condolences DMP! Sorry to hear it. My night was extremely quiet, nobody has energy to get into trouble or run around in the middle of the night on Jan 1st.

    Holiday pay is why I drug myself to work today and will do so tomorrow. If I call out, they take it away.

    @Dead_Mans_Party -oh yeah, I remember now! You were in here before, too. Welcome back!
    I got holiday pay for Christmas, but not New Years. I did pick up an extra shift that led to a way better post, so I guess I'll try not to complain too loud.

    Also, my back really hurts today! I'm not sure what I did, but hopefully it'll clear up before I go back to work on Saturday.

    Yah I have been on and off this thread for a while now. Just depends on how busy I get.

    Finally back on the bike commuting to work. Tough going where the snow plows piled up the snow, but overall, it was nice to get outside and ride.

    You guys, I can almost breathe without coughing!!

    jennifer_417 Posts: 12,344 Member
    @bethanie0825 - yay for breathing!

    My back got a lot worse, and I've been a total gimp all day. It's slowly improving, but moving around is difficult.
