Hell, I worry enough about losing my USB drive, I'm not involving diamonds, too.

Matt Damon does Matthew McConaughey. (Impression)

Aw, and then I watched the McConaughey clip that YouTube linked me to, and now I really want to see We Are Marshall.

And Jake! Does no one think of Jake??

I assumed that Austin Nicholas would take care of any consoling he might need...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ha! Who is this Austin Nicholas??

Darn it, I can't get that Matt Damon thing to run. (It runs for about 16 seconds and then stops.)

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Kathy A - Problem here is that the vent is not only in the ceiling, but behind the flourescent lights, so there is no access for me. I can't even get the engineers to close the vent or even redirect it, so I'm just screwed. I don't know how the woman who had this cube before me stood it for as long as she did!

Hmmm, ::engineer brain turning... must come up with creative solution.. cold wind inside SUCKS::

Is the cubicle such a size that one could decoratively take a large golf-size umbrella and have it stretch across the cubicle (resting on the 'walls') maybe hack off the excess handle, such that the umbrella deflects the cold rushing air (and possibly reduces the icky flourescent lights).

If you were at the theater, I'd say make a small soft muslin flat and have it over the cubicle... alas, I don't think you do theater.

I just put tape over the ductwork. But mine are on a sill. A metal sill that is the duct. Which means I still get radiating cold, damnit.

jesus, public broadcasting is making me a sentimental mess tonight. First, Hanukkah Lights on public radio. Now stupid pbs ADS. ADS!!! But it has prompted me to email a childhood friend in my hometown. I may lobby the parents to have her and her husband and kid over for dinner on xmas. We always did a night of Hanukkah with them, and they did a day of xmas with us, when we were growing up. And I'd love to revisit that tradition.

In other news, I'm loving the 75 degree weather. Not loving the existance of bugs that are biting me.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Kathy, I'd find out if employers have to maintain certain daytime temps like landlords do. If they can't maintain an acceptable temp in your cubicle then they should move you somewhere else. Though I do love the idea of a huge umbrella over your desk.
