Springtime Maladies

I’ve come down with the dreaded late winter/early spring cold. Several factors contributed to my current afflictions:

Mother Nature, for 40-degree swings in daily high temperatures.

A vendor, who shall remain nameless¹, for providing a dysfunctional POS of a remote access console, forcing me to leave the warm but shabby confines of my cubicle and freeze my stindeens off on a cold data center floor.

And for lack of treatment of the current condition, my everlasting love to the bozos and bozettes who are our elected Congressional representatives, for inserting a provision into some totally unrelated other proviso which now requires me to register to buy OTC medications like Sudafed, et.al.²

Ok, nuts to the lot of you. I have a warm blanket and single malt scotch.

¹ The vendor went to the extreme to solve my problem too. After leaving unceremoniously at 2PM the afternoon the problem surfaced, they called me not once, but twice, on the next day. By that time, I had no further need for the console, having already endured the stindeen frosting experience detailed above. They assured me the problem was with “our network”. I think I’ll nominate them for a J.D. Powers award.

² I could be making illicit substances, and gosh, the law is for the children.
