Brr, so cold

selenayWays I know that it's winter in Canada: my cubicle pod has a big pile of snow boots in the middle.
It's a wee bit nippy today. Apparently we're getting a high of -11C (with whindchill of minus 20) so I was out there scraping ice off my car in temps that made my entire face hurt. Ouch.
Today, however, is balmy compared to tomorrow. Daytime high of -14C. Windchill high of minus 27. I don't even want to think about how cold it will be when I leave the house. Note to self: handknit socks tomorrow. My toes are still defrosting despite two pairs of regular socks and my snow boots.
My decision to switch to cords instead of dress pants for my winter work attire has been completely justified.
Today is already shaping up to be a day of epic frustration. I'm deploying Project Doom Phase IV to our acceptance environment. It took us three days to get it onto the systest box in December due to issues with what the DBAs were doing. We started yesterday morning and so far, 5% of the objects have been deployed. I'm thinking that our three days of hell from the last deploy may actually be good compared to the deploy we're attempting now...
*sigh*
On the up side, tonight is knit night so I get to spend some quality time with incredibly sugary coffee drinks, the baby blanket I'm working on and my awesome knitter crew so today won't be completely awful. It's just that I may *really* need the sugar and caffeine hit by the time I get there.
