  • The General Specific

    In a month I will be on my way to Poland.  It is going to be incredible.  The average temperature in Krakow in December is 34F.  That amounts to instant hypothermia.


    Krakow is Kold

    Not to mention that when I leave the house early in the mornings and it is 50 degrees outside I shiver and spontaneously combust because I'm so cold.  I'll have to man up. I think chugging vodka will help.


    The Cure For The Common Cold

    There's good news.  I won the weekly NFL gambling pool ERRRR community money raffle we have at work.  That earns me enough dough to buy some quality Under Armor cold gear.  That way I can make sure to try to run around and exercise while in Poland so I don't gain 10kg.  I've stopped eating breakfast and stopped eating lunch at work so I can drop enough lb's that I can afford a small bounceback. 


    Under Armor stuff rules.

    I have stayed up way past my bedtime the last two nights watching football.  Then today I somehow had forgotten to set my alarm.  Unprecedented. Luckily, mental alarm woke me up at 5:50AM.  Later than I usually do, but still plenty of time to get to work early. The mind is a powerful beast.

    I think I have to have some sort of annual review at work soon.  Horrible.  I've done my best and I think I do a smarter-than-the-average-bear job but I can't stand getting reviewed.  I deal very poorly with criticism.  My emotions run the gamut from nervous, to depressed, to angry.  With flashes of rage and fear in between.

    haha, that first comment. Sorry, I don't mean to laugh, but...IS a concentration camp? WWII ended in 1945, last I checked. I guess she's thinking of the jewish ghetto in Krakow? Or perhaps getting Dachau (location, germany) and Krakow mixed up? I dunno. But, funny nonetheless. And even if there was a site of a former concentration camp, worried you may end up in it? I guess she did use the present tense...

    What i meant to comment on, and not make fun of other people (I apologize only slightly for being a bitch), was that you know if you don't eat once you hit that vodka, you're going to find yourself passed out in the streets. And while under-armor is indeed good (we use it here to work cattle), I don't know if it'll save one from being passed out on the polish streets in winter due to lack of metabolism and vodka. But good luck with that nonetheless.

    What's so funny?  There is in fact a live, fully functional concentration camp in the heart of the city.  I'm hoping to get a tour.  Maybe I'll be chosen as the lucky tourist who gets to push the child into the crematorium.  But I'll probably just end up watching.

    A live concentration camp. Almost an oxymoron.

    Meanwhile. I've heard you like to watch.
