The temperature is hovering around ninety this week, and it’s bright and sunny, so of course the air conditioning in our building decides to croak yesterday afternoon. And of course the repair place can’t get out here to look at it until tomorrow at the earliest. Our office is on the upper floor, which reached intolerable at about 9:15 this morning and is still rising.

It’s at times like this that I really bless the current state of computer technology. My main computer is a laptop, portable by definition, so it’s easily possible to move it (and myself) to a lower and cooler floor for the duration. And reliable wireless networking technology means that I’ve got full access to our phone system, our network, and the Internet, anywhere in the building. So this becomes a minor inconvenience, rather than a choice between lost productivity and an invitation to heatstroke. 🙂
