Burning

Holy shit, it's hot here. We didn't get any warning, either. It was like, "Ok guys, we're gonna do the cold spring thing for awhile - cloudy days and all - and then we're just going to springboard directly into summer!!! Who's with me?!?!"

But I think I can speak on behalf of most people when I say that this change was a little too sudden. Where were our 76�F and sunny days? Could we get some of those, first?

I'm about to go to work where we have no air conditioning, no circulating air, nothing. It's going to be great. I also run up and down stairs a lot while carrying piles of books.

Speaking of running up and down stairs a lot, I spent out first scorching hot day helping a friend move. He's an artist, and the majority of the things we moved were paintings. Big ones. That we had to carry a certain way. Up lots of stairs. There were only three of us, and we were just disgusting by the end of the whole ordeal, literally dripping sweat. The best part was that I couldn't go home directly afterwards, so I got to hang out with my own salty skin for awhile. It reminded me a lot of when we were in Cambodia and we could inspect the salt lines on our clothes at the end of the day.

Apparently, it's going to be this way at least until Wednesday...

UPDATE: I was wrong!!! So blessedly, wonderfully wrong!!! My "office" has air conditioning. I wore a sun dress to work and was COLD. This is awesome!!! I want to work every day!!! More exclamation points needed, after this sentence!!!!
