Similarly, my wife decided she's a Duke fan because she knows I like UNC...

It's 18*F outside and the f'n AC is on in the office.

On the plus side, the efficiency of heat transfer is quite high right now.

 

[blybrook PE]

They figured out how to get the AC off before I left the office. The boiler is running, but the circulation pump may be shot, so we are getting convective heat right now, not very much though. It has warmed the office area back up to 65*, much better than it was. The cardboard is still over the vents as there's still some cold air blowing through there, but it's manageable.

A swig of nyquil before bed last night helped too.

Neighbor's tree hit the house in high wind and early season snow at 4AM. Damn! I'm trying to get ahead to take next week off and now this crap!

It's 18*F outside and the f'n AC is on in the office. Currently, the cold air blowing over my desk is annoying and the temperature in my department is around 50* & dropping. Everyone is commenting on how cold it is in this area of the building. I have blocked off the ceiling vents with cardboard to cut the air flow down some; but about to walk out for the day if it doesn't start to warm up.

The heat went out in my old office in Vermont on a chilly day where the high was in the single digits. I eventually just had to take some work home with me and do it there, because my fingers were getting too stiff to type.

heh... "stiff"...

[Master slacker]

Now I find out that I need to be here all f***ing day. THANKS FOR TELLING ME THIS YESTERDAY!

 

[snickerd3]

gosh darn it...a black pen exploded in my pencil mug. Now i have black ink all over my hands that is being stubborn and not washing off.

It's -43*F out and I can't trust the heater in my 2012 Dodge! Dealer states its a known issue, but they have yet to be able to resolve it since it corrects as soon as they get vehicles into the shop bay. They think it's a module freezing up, but they aren't sure which one!

Thankfully I remembered ALL of my arctic winter gear today and put it on before heading into town. It normally lives in the truck, but I had taken it out to go snow plow Wednesday night, so it was still thawing out in the house yesterday... Made for a COLD drive home!

^^^ Reminded me of this youtube video from a few days ago. Now that's COLD!

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oH7lC3RVjXY

A Russian man has made the most of his country's freezing weather by filming himself hurling a pot of boiling water off his balcony which instantly turns to mist in the icy air. The video was shot in a Russian town where the outside temperature was -41 degrees Celcius, according to an app on the man's phone.
After showing viewers the temperature the rugged-up Russian puts on a pair of gloves and picks up a large pot of boiling water, which he tosses over the balcony.

As soon as the water hits the freezing winter air it turns into fog leaving a waterfall-like trail as it floats slowly towards the ground.

Another shot taken from the ground shows the fog waterfall appearing to expand as it blows across the apartment building.

^ Yeah, it's about that time of year to do that again. It's a fun experiment to conduct!

I've done it several times myself with cups of hot water and once with a pot of hot water. Kinda cool to see in person.

 

[cdcengineer]

Work is still slow. WTF! When are things ever going to finally get back to "normal"?

 

[Master slacker]

Forgot my office keys on the dresser this morning...

On the bright side, I had my computer with me and am working out of a vacant office... in a different building...

I assume that you have a private office with a locked door. nice.

At first, I'm thinking "What no one would let you in the building?"

 

[Master slacker]

No, I don't quite have my own building... yet...

Got my keys today, though.

OK, what kind of brain trust puts an open soda can back in the fridge that everyone in the office uses? Recipe for disaster.

I moved it to the counter, where it is still a spill hazard, but not a risk to everyone else's lunch.

 

[Ble_PE]

You should have put it in the trash...

 

[Judowolf PE]

That is one trusting idiot...I'd be afraid what one of my co-workers would put in it

Shoulda given it the HSD treatment.
