Me? Asthma?

I think I might have exercised induced asthma. I've always hated exercising outside when it's cold. When it's warm -- it's fine. When it's cold though it makes it really hard to breathe for me. Not just when the wind is blowing 90 miles an hour and it's 56 below zero. On days when no one else has problems -- i start exercising and I can barely breath. I went biking today -- and it was fine -- but I was having an awful time breathing well. About 3/4 of the way though I literally had to get off of my bike and sit on the ground b/c I couldn't breathe, starting wheezing, felt light headed, my chest was hurting, and I felt numb all over. Definitely came back and googled it -- it seems that one of the major triggers for exercise induced asthma is cold air. I think I found a solution. Guess it means I need to go to the doctor and see what he thinks -- and get some medication and see if that helps. Scary.

I work in a whore house

At least it smells like I work in a whore house. The new woman in the cube across from me must take a bath in terrible smelling perfume everyday. I think she's killed her sense of smell over the years from two much perfume. This should be a medical term. Something like "Perfumectomy" -- killing the sense of smell due to perfume overexposure. It's not even nice perfume. It's horrible cheap nasty perfume. EHHHH I hate work.

Annoying

This stupid place in AZ is really annoying me. They're on strike 2/3 before I've even interviewed. While it would be nice to move to AZ -- I'm not excited about the company culture right now. I might be interviewing there on Monday -- we'll see if I can get flights out that won't cause me to miss a week of work. Freaking annoying -- they scheduled a flight w/o even calling me to confirm dates or anything -- I mentioned dates to the recruiter like 2 weeks ago -- and nothing from them until I received an itinerary via email today. Freaking weird. Ahh whatever. Work is more boring than ever. Lost was awesome yesterday. It just opens up more questions with only half answers to things. It's classic lost as opposed to the bullpucky that we've been seeing since the second part of this season started. I hope that next season is a real season as opposed to the weird 8 week or whatever interval. The job search is just going so so. Nothing exciting lately. I...

Long Time

I know it has been a while since I posted... but honestly nothing that exciting has happened.... well kind of not exciting. My company might have some production issues if we can't find a supplier. That could be an issue. So in I went boozing with Josh, Joe & Jamie in Cleveland last weekend. Nick was supposed to come - but he totally bailed. It was amusing. Nothing too exciting. We did go watch 300 on Sunday. It was okay -- lots of violence. I guess the Iranians aren't too excited about it and have a whole conspiracy theory about the US government funding it to turn the US against Iran. Honestly though, I didn't know until there was a news story that Persians came from Iran. I didn't connect the two. I would like to think I'm pretty smart and pretty globally aware. If I didn't connect the two I doubt that any significant portion of the population would have gotten it. This just makes me think that they are completely paranoid fucks. They must...

Airport

OMG I'm so fucking bored. I'm sitting at the airport waiting for my flight to "hopefully" get out of this freaking city. It's been like white-out conditions all day. I went to Starbucks this morning and nothing. By the time I got my Venti triple non-fat carmel machitto it was a freaking blizzard. They haven't canceled my flight yet so it still looks promising. Anything that I can do to get out of this city is good today. It's not a long trip -- only a day and a half in Baltimore. But is a hell of a lot better than sitting in the office. I also got to set up remote desktop to my computer at work. So as long as the power stays on there I can just desktop in which is way cooler than playing with the VPN all the time. Other than that it's been a pretty boring day. I didn't really have anything left to do at work this morning so the only thing I got accomplished was setting up my laptop. Supposively my mom's boss is supposed to get canned...

LOST Symbols

Anyone else notice the huge amount of symbolism that they use on LOST? It's not just the little tid-bits that you need to piece together to get everything. Or the items that they hint at until they finally reveal them. I mean the full out smack you in the face kind of symbolism? Like the fact that Hurley was "in the drivers seat" when he came to the epiphany that the "bad luck" wasn't happening anymore and that he was now controling his own life and destiny. Anyone notice the fact that Charlie was in the passenger seat -- just like he's been his whole life -- just like he's been to Desmond's prediction that he will die. He's just letting it happen. He's not taking control of anything. We haven't seen much of Siayd lately -- and that's sad. Whenever Locke gets involved with something though -- it always seems to go wrong or something really strange and unexpected happens. We still don't know what put him in the wheelcha...
