There's a good excuse. Who wants to put up with nonsense like that on Friday?
Argh, the road I usually take to work was closed due to water main break so I had to take the long way around... only added a couple minutes but I hate being thrown off my routine first thing in the morning.
Ungh...woke up sick here. My lungs are burning and I have a fever and a sore throat. Lovely.
Hope I didn't already pass it to Hair and ecurbh somehow. But I don't have any more PTO, so I gotta go to work anyhow. Or skip the pay.
Git your bread, milk, eggs, toliet paper and kitty litter tonight--major snowstorm expected tomorrow afternoon, 5-6" or more, oh, and rain first. It's a Kansas City winter!!
Mmmmmkay. So the strange odor didn't get better, neither did my headache. So I opened a window. Well, the folks down the hall didn't appreciate that (it's winter) so they decided to call maintenance. "Well, what does it smell like?" the dispatcher asked me. "Hot electronics." I said.
So she sends the fire truck.
I kid you not. Sirens, axes, hunky guys in nomex and cool hats. One guy brought an axe. The other brought a thermal imager and a tank of air. The third guy was in charge and didn't carry anything.
All sorts of fuss and hullabalooo.
And they find nothing. Not even the smell because I had just had the window open and cleared it out. Even if the smell had been there, I don't think you could have smelled it over their smokey nomex.
"Just call us if it comes back," they said. Inner Chloe is rolling her eyes.
