Heat

It's hot in my office. For some reason they haven't installed my A/C or blinds. They've had two months to do it, but God forbid. (And in fact, three adjuncts were sharing this office before, and apparently they were fine without A/C. I guess that's because it's only necessary in the summer, but ya know, it's still summer.)

A student in my lab, very predictably, came into my office today to ask what she needed for lab. Primarily she was wondering about any books required. Of course, all over the building are signs saying "Lab manuals are five dollars and available from the departmental office." But no one reads those. (And really, this is not a student thing, we like to say that students are all like this but really it's a people thing.)

On the lighter side, I worked at home in the morning to wait for a delivery and lucky for me, FedEx came at 10:30! I purchased an inexpensive sound system, something to be better than just TV speakers, but not really top notch. But it arrived nice and early so I could come into the office. And sweat.
