Mar. 9th, 2004 09:33 amI am working in the dark today. What a weird day. I get in to work this morning at 7am and it is already about 75 degrees in the building. That's hot. By 8 it is over 80. One of the facilities guys comes around asking it we mind turning off the over head lights so that they can attempt to cool off the building because they are doing repairs on the water cooler towers and they can't get the air conditioners working. So fine we are working by the light of our computer screens and we have all of the blinds shut on the windows to avoid the greenhouse effect. It's only supposed to get to 55 today people, but unfortunately we don't have any windows that open. So it is 9:30 and I'm sweltering in the dark. Warm dark place, boring work, it's gonna be naptime very soon whether I like it or not.
Caffeine, must find caffeine.
Oh and then in the middle of my Tuesday meeting, facilities decides it's time for a surprise tornado drill. I have to release the meeting, remind everyone to come back after the drill so we can finish, and then head to the stairwell to wait for the all clear. Fantastic. 10 minutes of standing in a crowded, hot, stairwell with a bunch of bored engineers.
I'm really cranky today if you couldn't tell.
