Gray and rainy skies and damn if I’m not loving it. With a mindset like that, I think I could do well in the Pacific northwest. But here at my desk, I’m more worried about hypothermia than moisture.
With the A/C cranking, it’s like a meat freezer in here. I’ve actually taken to bringing a sweatshirt with me to the office every day, and every hour or so I’m in the bathroom defrosting my fingers under a running stream of boiling water. Of course, this will all change in a few months when thoughts of keeping cool are replaced by thoughts of keeping warm, at which point I’ll find something new to bitch about.
At home, my desktop system has once again forgotten how to boot into OS X. It’s done this before, and I know how to fix it. Of course, the fix means spending an evening reinstalling the operating system and weeks tweaking things until they’re just right again.
With it being a franken-puter spliced together with a host of after-market parts, I can’t say I’m surprised when it decides to do something flakey. My kingdom for the cash (or at least a decent line of credit) to get myself one of those lovely new Mac Pro‘s.
Tic-tac. Two in a row.

who is ever happy with the temperature in their office, especially in the summer? we spend all this time praying for warm weather and then spend all that time indoors with the air con on full blast. how much sense does that make?
I don’t have so much against air conditioning when we get up in the high 80′s and above, but whenever I can get away with opening my windows and letting mother nature take over the air conditioning job, I do so. Of course, when someone at the office has the thermostat locked at 40 degrees (an exaggeration) and the office windows don’t open (not an exaggeration), there’s not much you can do except bring an extra sweatshirt to work and learn to deal with it.
