Whining thread. I feel like I need some cheese with my WHIIIIINE.
I'm fucking FREEZING AT WORK. Seriously. I know that the back room has to be kept fuckass cold, but JESUS, I'M DYING. I've got on three thick layers, long pants, covered shoes, and MITTENS and I'm still cold.



AND NOW IT'S JUST STARTED SNOWING.

Oh man, JanetLand, we should add "make camcorder your right hand's priority" to bmarkey's How to Drive Poorly in the Snow thread.

Stand up, windmill your arms forward and back like an Olympic swimmer (or two Olympic swimmers, if you wanna be technical: two legs of a medley, freestyle and backstroke); twist your trunk with your elbows out like an NBA center protecting a rebound; and highstep, slapping the palms of your hands, held waist high, palms down, with your knees, like a twelve-year old double-dutch jump-rope champion. Just do that, and put on a hat, and you'll be warm.

Remember, if your head and trunk are warm, so too will be your extremities. Get a vest.

I've been doing little dances when I'm on the lift in an attempt to keep warm, but the real problem is my fingers are getting really cold. I think some of it is still residual doom from my last job, where I think I ended up with some RSI type deal. Maybe my fingers are just jacked up.

Seriously, a hat will make your fingers warm. Though it won't fight soreness. Drink a cuppa tea. Warm your hands in your armpits.

Then you can give your boss the stink palm when you leave at the end of the day. Win-win!

Yeah, totally the hat. Hope you made it through OK.

It's kinda funny (I've only got 30 minutes left anyways) but I was talking to the other dude about the cold (since our boss isn't here, we can bitch) and we decided that we weren't going to do any of the extra prep work we normally due because it's too damn cold. Heh. So we're only going into the cold to pull orders, no shelving or anything like that for the rest of the day.



But yeah, I need to find a good hat. My hair tends to get in the way.
