Well, my day started around 0230 with a call from work. No problem there, that’s what I get paid for right? Not a big issue, and dealt with it rather quickly. Problem is, I’m on this friggin diet, and going to bed hungry now. So, I was starving by 0230. That made it quite a challenge to get back to bed, and so did the fact that we are trying to save money on our electric bill. Because of this, the ambient temperature was 77F. Not so bad, some would say, but I can’t stand it that hot! Sheesh!

So of course I was running late this morning. Get in the car and speed off to work. What’s this? According to my gas guage I have about 5 miles of gas left. SHIT! So, off to Circle K for me. That’s ok, right, because I can get a quick breakfast there (yummy Circle K dog and cheese). So, finally all set to go to work (way late), and I’m listening to some good tunes (Best of Great White). Then I get a really bad pain in my chest right where you would expect a heart attack. The kind of pain you would expect a heart attack to feel like (or at least I would). It continues to get worse and worse, and I finally place my hand on my chest only to find that I am burning a hole in my shirt pocket, my chest, and now my hand thanks to a stray collection of embers from my cigarette.

Man! I knew I should have called in sick. Well, at least I wasn’t having a heart attack! :) LOL!
