Dang it's Cold Out

So I wake up today, pop a cough drop in my mouth, as I head out the door for the bus. As I step out the door with said cough drop in mouth, I take a breath, and feel this icey chill go down my throat and into my lungs!! My first thought is "Man, it is cold out here"! As I keep breathing, I notice that I can not get the chill out of my airway, or lungs. So I deal with it till the bus comes. Eventually, I get to work, after 30 minutes of freezing my toes (among other things) off, only to find that the facilities personnel had yet to turn on the heaters for my department. I mean, it's bad enough that there are only 4 of us in the department, so it is normally cold, so we don't need the extra help on the freezing part. Not to mention I am wearing short sleeves today. So, I get in, and decide to check the weather outside. No, I did not do that before I left. I find out that it is 15 degrees outside with a wind chill of -2 degrees. It would not have mattered if I had not been sucking on a cough drop or not, I would have still frozen my lungs. So here I sit, starting to get freezer burn, and frost bite on my fingers and toes. Each press of the key board is very painful! THIS STINKS!!! Hope you are all warm!
