Stay Home Or Else - Friday, October 16, 2009

This morning, I called work and told Marilyn (the resident pain in the neck mother hen at Martindale’s) about the fever. So, it was decided, not by me, that I would stay home from work today. The problem was that our heating system in the apartment was not working. So, I had to wear two sweaters, two pairs of socks, and "Abby" on my head just to keep somewhat warm. The poor maintenance man is new and unfamiliar with this type of heating system so he was in and out of the apartment for several hours bleeding the lines in order to make it work. As a result, I had little time to sleep. By about one thirty, though, my temperature was normal. All I need is twenty-four hours and I can rejoin the human race. By the way, we still do not have heat.
