In looking back on my day, I can divide into 3 elements: shit, juice, & sauce. I do hope tomorrow will be less messy.
Juice-- Even though I did enjoy a glass of cranberry juice this evening, what I really meant by "juice" is sweat & snot. I just didn't want too get to bodily fluidish on y'all right from the outset. I know that Old Man Winter is finally begun his reign over my part of the country, but my office seems to have overreacted to the dropping temps. I swear the thermostat in the office was up to 96 today!!! I felt like I was melllllllting. My eyeballs and eyelids in particular felt EXTREMELY perspirational. Honestly, I am amazed that I didn't have any mystical Navajo daydreams, of the sort that are suppose to beset you when you hole up in a sweat lodge. As if a marinade of my own sweat was not enough, I also had a drippy, sneezy beezer today. Yeeeeaah. Bonus. And work was maaaad busy. And THEN one of the trainers who was leaving to go back to Texas comes around snapping photos to share with the gang back home. AAAAGH!! So there I was mouth-breathing and slack-jawed with my hair all staticky flyaway, lips cracked like ancient pleather, and where my head wasn't chapped and flaky, it was glistening with sweat, with the tiny exception of the outer perimeter of my nostrils which were glistening with snot instead. I managed a face that was 1/4 forced smile and 3/4 roiling hatred and I said "Oh, be sure to zoom in and catch the rivulets of snot streaming from my nose!" I wonder what sort of impression that photo is going to make on my Texan comrades. Ha. Like I give a shit.
Which brings me to my next element du jour...
Shit-- At the end of an overall shitty day, I had to come up to my sister's to babysit. Which really wasn't too bad. The kids were fairly well behaved, or at least, I've certainly seen 'em brattier. But Lucy had the WORRRRRST diaper. I should feel sorry for her rather than whine about my having to change it, since the poor muffin is sick, but UUUUGH. It was this highly toxic, extremely PUNGENT, swampy liquid. Yellowish green. Probably if I'd smelled it full force without my thick snot buffer I woulda heaved.
Sauce-- The saucy part of my day was good. We've always provided breakfast & lunch for our salesguys & distributors that come here for training. Recently we've switched caterers, and from what I've sampled thus far, it was a stellar upgrade (these guys make great whoopie pies!!) Anyways they had a lunch for all 20 trainees delivered yesterday but they wrapped up class early & most of the guys had left. So it was free chicken parm & garlic bread , free 20 oz sodas for me & my comrades. Lisa thought the sauce was too sweet but I thought it was excellent.. . Seems pretty pitiful that was unequivocably THE highlight of my day, but yep, that was it.
