Brrr!

Not to start out on a grouse, but here goes anyway.

Talk about cold! The heat has been out at the office all day. Bummer. It is hard to type when it is 56 degrees in the office. My fingers don't want to move like they should. A couple of penguins came in and asked if we had any ice.

Fortunately, I have a small space heater. It has been heating our large space all day. And it is now just about bearable at 71 degrees. But this room is the warmest one in the building by far.

The wonderful people who run things were hesitant to call someone to look at it. "Let's wait and see," they said, "and maybe it will start working again." I'll remember that next time one of their light fixtures goes out, and they want it replaced.

Unfortunately, this isn't the first time this has happened. Every time we have a warm day followed by a cold day, the heat doesn't work on the cold day. Something about the warm day throws everything off.

Someone is on the roof working on our unit now. Now that it is time to go home. And I can tell someone is up there by the cigarette smoke smell working its way down through the vents.

Yes, it's a great day indeed!
