and i had to turn around and head straight back home.
now the furnace is broken at work, too. i got there early and UH-OH. the thermostat read 30 degrees. the mop and bucket was frozen over and i almost slipped on the ice that had formed on our beautiful hardwood floors.
good thing i had called off the other morning employee the night before. i had told her not to come in to save some payroll hours and i doubted there were would be too many customers strolling in. the HVAC guy was out on several other calls and wasn't able to make it in for the repair for another three hours. so home i went.
it was still -10 this morning. i wore the following:
fleece-lined tights
long underwear
pants
two pairs of wool socks
waterproof, lined tall boots
two undershirts
a long sleeve tunic
a cardigan
a down jacket
a pair of gloves COVERED with a pair of mittens
a fur hat with ear flaps
a scarf tied around my face so only my eyes were exposed
will i get to work tomorrow? i dunno. i hope so cause i don't want to think about my lousy upcoming paycheck.
i stopped by the library on my way home and stocked up on more movies. my apartment still isn't the warmest. inside my apartment i am wearing the following:
long underwear
two pairs of wool socks
hello kitty slippers
flannel pajama bottoms
three shirts
fingerless gloves
and when i'm not up and about, i am on the couch with two fleecy blankets
yeah, this kinda sucks. no sugar-coating that. but i suppose it could always be worse. right?
