Thursday, October 8

early dismissal

The air conditioning at my office has been nonfunctional for the past week and a half. In a city that's still sweltering in the high 80s, that's kind of a big deal. The maintenance guys has been "working" on fixing the A/C unit for days now, and no progress. None whatsoever. Every time that guy is in the closet where the unit is, all we can hear is hammering, drilling, and all sorts of other sounds that indicate he is hard at work to bring us some relief, despite the evidence that whatever he's doing is not working.

(I have a sneaking suspicion that he's really in there napping, and all those sounds we hear are just playing out of his boom box.)

Today, my cell phone screen fogged over when I walked into our office. FOGGED OVER. And I'm INDOORS. This was clearly too much, so after about an hour, my boss decided that we all should go work from home for the day. HECK YEAH. (for the record, I did get a large amount of work done at home)

Target Mossimo sandals
F21 necklace
Modcloth Camelot ring


This ring from Modcloth is absolutely funky and adorable! The "ring" part is made out of painted wood, and the castle bit is hard plastic. My only complaint is that the castle is a bit pointy, and if you're as uncoordinated as me, worrying about accidentally gouging out an eye on one of those turrets is not totally irrational.

  3. I would quit your job. Seriously. Broken A/C in Houston is a deal breaker for me.
