The Weather Outside is Hateful, and the Sweats are Undelightful

March 24, 2008

There’s something very sinister about coming back to work and feeling unwelcomed. I understand that good times - or even quiet relaxation times - have to end at one point. And I had a week of good and relaxed times. I played Call of Duty 4, watched Good Morning VIetnam and Clockwork Orange, read Ulysses and sci fi novellas, studied Photoshop, got new jazz albums, and went out with a friend. But the vacation ended, and whenever that happens, I expect to be busy doing boring tasks again.

Certainly, the boring tasks flew back. It’s also summer and the weather outside is a smothering 37 degree centigrade, so there’s a lot of sweating to be had from home to office. And what did I get after arriving to work, as I hoped to be better ventilated? Disappointments. Our office’s aircon have been busted, and won’t be up for the next two days. In the meantime, we have 4 fans the size of a Playstation trying to compensate for the heat. Fans that small is hardly enough for two persons, so how could 4 fans cool an office of 30? As a result, it’s hotter here than outside. Right now, my desktop computer is facing a sweat-bound visage of Nightdreamer. Is it your fancy to toil all day while perspiring drips to your keyboard?

Yeah, way to worsen my vacation hangover.
