I made a meme?

In January, on a cold blustery morning, I made up a little joke and tweeted it out.
And the Weather Network retweeted it.

A few days ago, a friend said this came up in a social media feed from an American cousin. No connection of mine whatsoever.

How do you win on Canadian Twitter? You talk about the weather.
Some more people decided to share it.

And kudos to whoever made this graphic for giving me credit. I didn't know the Internet was that honest :)
No wait, it isn't.

Your numbering is redundant! And capitalizing every word? A terrible choice!

Totally ruining the punchline.Oh well.

Wrong. Argh.
At least Al Roker liked the original gag.

And really, I'm not the first one to come up with the idea. More than one person has applied the Kubler-Ross model of dealing with grief to winter...

But maybe I'm the first one who memed it?

Weird.

My indiscreet tweet

Sometimes I am a dough head.

Sigh indeed.

My Peasant Project

I have spare minutes at work every now and then. I usually fill them with online reading, picking my toes and decorative origami, but I'm also working on my writing skills. Specifically, pumping out 140 ironic characters.

Yes! My years of education and experience have finally born fruit in a fake Twitter account! @Mom will be so proud.

@PeasantTweet is written by an 11th century Bulgarian peasant. He's married, usually has 8 children (depending on mortality and market rates) and loves to dig.

Is this a great big waste of time? Yes (though I'm sure the three bots following me would be devastated if I quit). On the other hand, taking my daily problems and filtering them through a snarky medieval serf helps me stay cool, yo. 

So follow @PeasantTweet. Or better, start your own fake Twitter accounts. Who knows, maybe one day you too can proudly stand beside my favourite comedy accounts - @CobraCommander, @Sockington or even @PMHarper (a person who tweets just like a bot - love it!)
