August 31: Still Not King - Tuesday, August 31st, 2010
Hello, and welcome to the end of August! The title of this entry means nothing. Well, it means I’m not the king of anything, which is probably obvious.
Mim’s birthday is tomorrow. She’ll be 65 years old and to celebrate we’re going to do one of the local Ghost Walks on Saturday. I’m hoping I’ll be able to get some cool pictures (not necessarily of ghosts, but in general). I’m also already thinking that it’d be more fun to do the walk again later in the year, when it’s dark out.
I’m very glad to see August go away and I would like it very much if it took the hot weather with it when it left. We got an email at work today reminding us that space heaters are not allowed. It’s 9:30 in the morning and already 86 degrees. Are space heaters really a problem already? Am I working with aliens? Is this building haunted? Where are these mysterious cold spots that seem to be bothering people, because I’m about ready to email someone and ask if heaters aren’t allowed, what’s the policy on moving my cube into a walk-in freezer.

I have a cow-orker who runs a space heater all Summer. Because her feet are cold. Because she wears thong sandals. Because it’s Summer. You cannot convince her to just wear some damn shoes.
