I believe that the fluorescent lights in this place are slowly draining my ability to think coherently. Oh, how I long for one incandescent light fixture and the warm, comforting light it provides. As is, I have my fluorescents off for the time being, but every time I step into the hallway, I swear I can feel my brain getting sucked dry.

Fluorescent brain vampires, I tell you. So I try to poke at code with what little brain I have left. Only a couple more hours, but I have to make some progress, neh?

So I'm told that it's hot today

I'm looking at the weather map, and I get to the current temperatures. The map looks like burn tissue, red and purple on the outside, fading to pink in the middle. Probably feels like an oven outside -- hot, heavy, oppressive. Completely unpleasant. Meanwhile, I've been huddled in a cocoon of air conditioning, oblivious to the 93 degrees right outside my window. Of course, come 5:00, I'll have to leave that little bubble of coolness and wander into the oven. I'll have to drive with the windows down, as I doubt the car's A/C will stand up to 93 degrees of heat. Needs a recharge, I'm sure. The hot air will melt me and the belt buckle will burn me. The steering wheel will put blisters on my hand, despite the sun shield I put up earlier to keep it cool.
