Urrrrrg

Shovel testing is so much more difficult with a cold.  Also, people need to stop carding me for cold medication.  I am over eighteen.  Have been for seven years now. 

Also every time cold season comes around, I think about the fact that it took less than two weeks to train me out of  saying "bless you" when someone sneezes, but I haven't been able to retrain myself in the following eight years.  I'm not even sure why we weren't allowed say anything about sneezing at choir camp, but we weren't.

Yeah, I've come to expect that I'll have trouble buying Sudafed, which is why I got something different. Really my thing was the cashier asked if I was eighteen, then when I said "yes," stared at me until I produced an ID.

'gesundheit' is a good one. I just have a hardtime remembering to say anything until eveyone else does.

They ask if you're 18 when you're not even buying Sudafed? Weird. Very weird.
My new boss told me today that he could totally see someone mistaking me for a 16 year old.
*headdesk*

I never get to it in time, either. *shrugs* Oh well.
