Today: Get beat by the heat
The AC in our office went extinct last week. We were waiting for a replacement part, only to find out the model of the our unit had also gone the way of the dinosaurs. In the meantime, I lost about 10 lbs. of sweat, without the benefit of actually losing 10 lbs., all while in office attire. Not cool. Get it?
My co-worker and I rigged up various fan and extension cord configurations (none of which were up to fire code, or really any code), closed the blinds, tried to pirate cold air from the hallway, and even went so far as to turn the lights out. I have no idea if that accomplished anything, other than worsen my eyesight by another .75, but who knows.
With today’s temperature reaching 91 in Boston, we are officially in the midst of a heat wave. It only reached 89 degrees (Bible) in the office, but I think that must be some sort of record. Where’s my prize? Ooof.
