Sep. 11th, 2009 02:54 pmMum came down with the flu a few days ago, and when she did, she warned me: It's only a matter of time.
*dramatic music*
We're pretty sure we picked it up at the fair, but also pretty sure it's not H1N1, which sent some 4-H troops home while we were there. My immune system is younger than Mum's, despite the many broken bones, but it hit me today about ten o'clock and I have been miserable ever since. If we hadn't already had a short week I'd have begged off and gone home, but today has been full of horrible things I have to fix, and for some reason a lot of people speaking German. Look, I'm just an office boy, I don't control the clientele we get.
The highlight of the day has been THE RETURN OF BULLETPROOF TEMP, who came back to say hi after having spent the summer DJing and working security for local nightclubs. He just took his official entrance exam for an out-of-state police academy on Wednesday, so if he passes he'll be leaving Chicago soon. I'm sure he'll get in; he's smart, and he's been studying various martial arts since he was five, and for those new to the cafe he got his name when he came in to work on a Tuesday after being SHOT in the leg on Saturday. Bulletproof Temp: the original definition of Chicago Hardcore.
He's also been teaching self-defence courses specifically geared towards high school and college-age women. Apparently, at the start of the course, he has his teaching partner get padded up and says "Show us what you'd do if someone attacked you and you had no self defence training."
One woman took this extremely literally. When his teaching partner tried to grab her, she pepper-sprayed him in the face.
I have missed Bulletproof Temp.
