Standard day: Work. Gym. Home.

It was colder than brass monkey balls at work today!!!

  • The A/C units broke down about two months ago. Yes, you read that correctly: two months ago. Yes, boys and girls, that would be in August.
  • We live on a high desert plain… which means “it’s hot in August.”
  • Factor in the fact that we work in a building with (at that time) 500+ people, we are pushing 700 now.

Take all of these things and you begin to understand what working conditions were like for the past eight or so weeks. Well, now that the weather has turned cool (Remember the snow on the mountains that I mentioned on 10-Oct-01?), the A/C gets fixed. And it gets turned on. And now it’s COLD inside as well as outside.

::: BRAINCRAMP :::

Plus ça change, plus c’est la meme chose. And did I mention that it was cold? It was. *sigh* Oh well. Angie met us at the gym, but we didn’t work out together. It was good to see her, though.

Dad called and said that Rana made it safely to the Ukraine; he said that she’ll be contacting me soon. I also got a call from my friend Don. He and Christine, his wife, were concerned about Jess and me (since we work for the USPS) with the anthrax incidents that have been popping up across the country. I reminded him that we are in a facility that does not handle actual mailpieces; he said that he had thought that to be the case, but wasn’t 100% sure of it. It’s good to have friends who care. We talked and caught up on the past few months. At this rate, I will have talked to all of my close friends back home by the end of the week. That’s not a bad thing, mind you.

DS9 just went off, so I guess I’ll surf for a bit… and try to make it to bed before 4 am. Of course, I’ve been trying to do that all week. Maybe tonight will be the night – there’s a first time for everything, I guess.

Peace.
