It's rather nipply out there!!
Jan. 15th, 2009 10:27 amThe temperature at my house this morning when we stepped outside? Yeah. -30º Fahrenheit. For you Centigrade-readers, that's -34º Celsius. And as you may or may not know, Fahrenheit and Celsius are exactly the same at 40 below. I believe "Holy Shit" would be an appropriate epithet here. And I think what's sadder is that the -30º F reading? That's just the temperature. The wind chill today here in my city is more than 40 below. Cover up, girls and boys, frostbite sets in within four or five minutes at these temps.
In other news, my bonus payout was supposed to be due this past Monday. I finally got hold of payroll because I haven't received it yet, and the boneheads aren't finished. They "hope to have it ready by today, possibly tomorrow." Which means I won't be getting the check promised to me for the 12th until oh, Saturday, possibly Monday. Idiots.
Also, I'm off to buy ingredients for a massive spaghetti dinner. God, I hope I get enough stuff...
Those of you in cold areas today - keep warm! *hugs*

Can I kick the people in payroll for you?
Or maybe sending some of my mum's home made chocolate and cherry cake would help? I'll save you the last slice! ^_~
Good luck with the dinner tonight, I hope it all goes wonderfully for you!
