I hate Mondays!

It's cold this morning here. I had to use the heater in my bathroom getting ready this morning for the first time since spring. Brrrr. Nothing like having to get out of bed on a cold Monday morning to set your teeth on edge.

I dropped off the car this morning at the shop because the "check air pressure" light is on again (this also happened last winter but it went off after awhile) even though a check of all four tires shows they are just fine. When I called for an appointment, the guy asked me "did you check all five tires?". Five? Oh yeah, the full size spare underneath the car has a sensor in it too. Oh. OK, well, I don't crawl under my vehicle, that's what the mechanics are for. An hour after dropping it off the shop calls and tells me it was indeed the spare being low on pressure. Enlightening for the next time it happens. Wonder how much they'll gauge the dumb girl for to figure out this piece of information?

So I get here at a whopping 7:30am because of the car drop off this morning. This is a whole (*gasp*) half an hour later than I usually get to work! I come in the back door right by my office to find my boss standing right in front of my office (?!?). "Oh, I was wondering where you were. It's so unusual for you to be late." Let me get this straight. One of my coworkers was out of work every day last week being "sick" (I'm just saying, if you're out for a whole work week and are supposedly on antibiotics, you should be getting better each day you're on them and if you're not and are still to sick to work, maybe you ought to check yourself into the hospital). Another coworker is in his office about two days a week right now (I know, this is all a continuation of my vent last week... maybe my friend will stop by again to check on my health!). I haven't taken a whole day off since Sept. 8th (I take very few whole days off, ever, and even that was a rarity) and you're going to freak out if I'm a half hour later than usual to the point you'll take up camping in front of my office door? Wow. Just, wow. I should have just called in sick all week apparently.
