Doing a little better now. Just hope I can sleep in until 7:30 tomorrow, since I’m calling in to tomorrow’s 8 AM teleconference from home. Sometime tomorrow the A/C should be back.
When one is used to A/C in the workplace, it’s a little difficult to try and work around it. Having had the same problem, I always kept a small fan at work. It’s amazing how much better my cubby was with the fan blowing on my middle-aged self!
It’s in the mail - I drove to the p.o. this afternoon.
I’m getting a headache. I think I’ll have to drink some tea with sugar.
:o])
I’ll make sure to check on Saturday...JIC.
Hunger headaches are absolutely beastly. I don’t envy you the next 12-16 hours. But I WILL be praying for you!!
I don’t really feel hungry, because I’m full of diet 7-up and cran-apple juice, but the big hand is squeezing around my eyes. Maybe the purge medicine will have some carbohydrates or starch in it. Getting old is a drag. At least my nose is stuffed up, so I can’t smell the pizza the others are eating!
I got pictures made of Bill and Tom today. Took forever to get decent shots, but I think Mom will be happy.
Here in NY the Multivote was in full swing for Andrew Cuomo.
It's more difficult than that. The "air handler" is shut down so there's no forced-air movement in the building. This being a building from the 90s, it has no "operable" (openable) windows -- for which there is now interest from the "green building" movement. Worse, there are no openings to the outside from the second floor, so opening doors at ground level doesn't help. Without the HVAC running, upstairs just grows ever less bearable.
It just gets warmer and warmer and warmer...
I do have a small fan under the desk but this was beyond that. I rarely use the fan now ever since I got the HVAC guy to set the minimum temps for my office down to 68F or so, most are at 70 - 72, plus a bit higher airflow AND I don't have hydronic heating the way the outer offices do.
If Corporate weren't death on wireless connecting to our in-house networks I might have gone outside to the picnic table to work. It's a gorgeous day, and short shirt-sleeve weather.
Ah, sion...you have my deepest sympathy...
Just wait until you really start getting older! *\B^| When I finally got glasses (just shy of 50) I thought it was all over. Now those are the good old days.
Getting a haircut and beard trim Sunday so I'll look a bit less Santa-like on the upcoming trip. Need to look professional for the speaking engagements at the conference.
Oh, it's fine and I'm happy, once I learned what was going on.
I had to stick around the office until 2 PM for a one-on-one meeting about my presentation for next week's conference (upshot: I don't have to learn/use this complex audience Q&A device they're using, nor integrate it into my presentation).
Stayed later to work on the powerpoint some more -- an hour or two tomorrow, after all the morning teleconferences, and I should be ready. I'll call into the first, at least, from home, and maybe the others. Then maybe to a "nearby" library to finish the powerpoint -- for me in-office meetings are so rare I don't need to be there unless I need to use the phone. (I don't have/want a corporate Crackberry.)
I'm home for 6 days more, life is good!
But praying your transportation situation resolves quickly.
You know your office and its working much better than anyone else, so all I can do is trust that you are more aware than the rest of us!!
Hopefully, tomorrow will be The Day that MD lives again. We shall see!
I am way too tired, and was up hours before the sun. What is "MD"?
MD is Miss Daisy!
I know how that tired thingy goes... it’s OK!
Oh yeah. Too many acronyms...
I’ve worn glasses since I was 12. I really need a haircut, too - it’s looking like Albert Einstein’s.
Life was much simpler before acronyms came into play.
:o])
I’ve worn glasses since I was seven...suddenly, the alphabet above the blackboard was obviously clear. Until then, the folks that taught me thought I was facetious. Idiots.
I was folding my papers into really tiny squares, making sure that I got up to 110 on a side. In the first grade. Idiots.
And longhand in the second grade, which was “not acceptable.” Idiots.
I’m sure all the teachers are dead, now, but still...would it have made the local papers if they had encouraged me? Idiots.
I think you and Pat are related ;-).
I'm outta here - I'm going to try to get Frank to bed before I drink the Purge. *shudder*
See? Patrick and I are kindred spirits. Along with my son....
I’ll pray for you. Purging is not fun for any of us. From either end. No matter what the reason.
I’m almost through 2 liters of the gunk. My innards are starting to make weird noises. (Don’t worry, I won’t give excessive detail ;-).
