well, this would've sucked.

it's so hot here today that in an effort to conserve energy, my co-workers and i are tip-tip-tapping away on our keyboards in a half-lit office. i actually kind of like it.

know what it feels like?

pre-school nap time. you know...they'd dim the lights, you'd lay down on your little nap pads and all of the assistants would use their adult whisper voices. sort of feels like someone's just unfurled a clean cotton bedsheet over the entire office, and we're all playing in a makeshift fort. everyone's a little calmer. everyone's voice is a little softer.

now, if they would only pass out chocolate milk and graham crackers.
