I’m really excited for the Tour de France to start this year – especially since there’s going to be great coverage without all the “OMG LANCE ARMSTRONG GOD-MAN OF TEH AWESOMES” hype.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m a big fan of Lance and am in awe of his accomplishments. But you have to admit the coverage last year did get to be a bit much.

But this year, their new tagline is “The Men Who Would Be King” and they had a pretty good “pre-show” on Sunday going over the contenders. I’ll go out on a limb now and put up my predctions:

According to the packaging, the DayQuil LiquiCaps I’m taking are supposed to be effective in combating my cold symptoms (cough, nasal congestion, fever, minor aches, pains, headache, muscular aches, and sore throat pain) for 6 hours.

I’m getting more and more frustrated with my new co-worker. She just doesn’t give a shit about getting things done, and done correctly. When I was at work for a half day on Tuesday, she complained about one of my people giving her ONE thing to do for them because they didn’t know if I’d be in (because I’m SICK). I even offered to do it for her and she refused and in the same breath complained about having to do it and how she’s stressed out and blah blah blah.

Not everything revolves around you.

…without a lungful of phlegm, that is.

I haven’t been sick for months – but I go to bed Sunday night with a tickle in my throat and woke up with my throat on fire and sore as hell. I called in sick and rested – by noonish, I was feeling a bit better and was going to go into work, but my supervisor just said to stay home.
