Yesterday it was 3 degrees outside when I went to work. My neighbor is in Belize until the 4th of Dec and has lent me her car to use. Being it was chilly outside I wimped out and took her car. I got to the office and opened the car door to be bowled over by a horrible smell. The smell of sewage backing up somewhere. Up the stairs and in the office and the smell followed. I checked the bathroom and it wasn't from our office. I wasn't sure who to call so I waited for someone else to handle the problem and I tried to ignore the smell.
Eventually, the land lord was called and the bathrooms in the shops below had backed up. His solution to our smell problems was to go around the building and open all the windows. Now if you have been following me the last few days, you know that the building has been cold all week. Now with a temperature of 3 degrees we have to work with all the windows opened. I sat at my desk with my furry hat on my head and my down jacket on with cold feet and legs as I didn't bring snowpants as I drove to work. I would have had my mittens on but I can't type and wear mittens so my fingers were freezing. I tried to not stop typing so that the movement would keep them warm. But still it has hard to concentrate between the smell and the cold.
11:30 came around and we rushed next door to Eddie's for Tator Tot Friday and warmed up in the heat of the restaraunt. After lunch I decided that since I had worked late two nights this week I would go home early. It was nice to be in my warm house without all my outdoor clothing on. I love winter but there are limits to what one can stand. I hope everything is fixed by Monday but to be safe I will take ALL of my winter gear.
