Who had Day 1 at 10 am?

Doctoral Program:
I took three hours on Friday night and found all but two of my textbooks online. Half.com and Amazon is the way to go!
Of what could have been a $900 textbook tab, I was able to get all of my books for about $675. That’s $225 bucks saved.
I think I did pretty well.
On two books I picked up an earlier edition, but I only did that for ones I knew I could get away with + they are on reserve at the school. Those two in and of themselves made a savings of $100.

Between used and online discounts, I am very pleased with my efforts.

Once they arrive I will take the bookstore ones back [I have till the 15th] and that will be that. Amazon has a great deal on expedited shipping for orders of over $200 so they should all be here before I actually have to go to class.

Got my school email up and forwarding to my personal account. Need to test it, MUST remember to test this.

Work Rant:
For the past couple of months, a number of my beloved co-workers have been complaining that the temperature in their cube was too cold. They b!tched about it enough that the building engineers put up temperature sensors. These wonderful devices were moved around and shuffled to other locations, but concluded that the temperature in our area was consistently 70 F. The real problem is that the ventilation system tends to downdraft right onto the people sitting in the cube, so in effect you get a wind chill – which the thermal sensors do not monitor.

Well the agitation continued and over the holiday they A/C was adjusted. This area will now be “warmer”. This was met with general merriment. I on the other hand was not happy.
As I expected it is not too hot in here. My thermometer reads 78 degrees.

F@cken freeze babies!

72 is room temperature and that is what my thermometer should read. This is too warm. I brought in a fan (well it was hiding under my desk) and had to start that up, but electrical appliances are not allowed in the cubes, so it will only be a matter of time before I get yelled at. Additionally, I don’t like working with a fan blowing right on me. I have to stare at a computer screen for the next 6.75 hours and it makes my eyes dry and strained, that tends to give me a headache.

They were ridiculous in the first place. Three of the girls brought in fleece blankets, because it was too cold. It was 70 degrees! If that is too cold, what in the name of Jesus Christ are you doing living in Minnesota? Get a clue, suck it up and leave well enough alone.

How long will it be before the complaints start and the fix the A/C? I give it till the end of the day.

Funny as I was typing that out department manager (internal client) just flagged down the building engineer and complained. So who had Day 1 at 10:00?
