This is a test of the emergency broadcast system.<\/p>\n

Instead…<\/p>\n
My sixth floor cubicle has one major<\/b> flaw.<\/p>\n
It’s frigid<\/i>.<\/p>\n
The air conditioning vent is right above my head. I look up, and that’s all I see.<\/p>\n
The air conditioning vents seem to run around the building’s edge, right at the windows. If I move interior, away from the vents, things are appreciably warmer.<\/p>\n
At least, that’s true on this, the northern side of the building.<\/p>\n
On the southern side of the building, things are warmer. Much<\/i> warmer.<\/p>\n
Same basic set-up. Same positioning for air conditioning vents.<\/p>\n
Not a frigid icebox, however.<\/p>\n
What’s strange and curious is that where the two sides meet there’s a humid, sweltering mess<\/i>. It’s like two weather systems have collided. I expect hurricanes to form there, tropical storms to rain water down, flooding the elevator shafts as waterfalls cascade to the lower floors.<\/p>\n
I’d almost welcome that.<\/p>\n
It would be more exciting than here, where it’s frigid. Where I sit, shivering. Where I wonder, “When is the blizzard going to strike?”<\/p>\n
It is cold here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
