If you have an issue or a story idea for the paper get in as soon as possible because the Western Wheel office may be under quarantine for the next six weeks.
The staff at the Western Wheel did not make it through this prolonged winter unscathed.
It seems not a day goes by without someone in the office coming down with sniffles, a runny nose or coughing like a tuberculosis patient.
Not being the smartest group rarely do we go home and heal, we would rather battle through it like troopers and show-up for work. The news never sleeps you know.
We may only make it through half a day, but we stubbornly show up for work. As a result, the contagious jungle fever continues to circulate through our office.
It may be 10 above outside, but we have some with sweaters and toques shivering behind their computers while in another office others are sweating with fever shedding clothes like its a wet t-shirt contest.
When you call our office don’t be alarmed. It may sound like a zombie or Jack the Ripper answering the phone but it is our front office staff and they just ran out of Sucrets.
However, you are better off to phone rather than come into the office anyway. First, we are all sick. Second, we have all been taking garlic pills. So, we are sick and we stink.
We have been trying to become a paper free office but that went out the window when we started buying Kleenex by the case.
In fact, we are eager for Bulk Barn to open because we have cleaned all the pharmacies out of Vicks Vaporub, Buckley’s and echinacea. In fact, some of us have resorted to trying grandma’s mustard pack remedy. I balked because I recall as a child hearing my dad screaming when the pack was ripped from his hairy chest.
Instead, I think I will try something with more potential — hot toddy anyone?
