sumi, could you get some kind of desk toy that moves? (electric or battery-powered) Something that would foil the evil sensors so you can sit quietly without having the lights turn themselves off.

Either one is fine. I love the purple one for you.

It sounds really annoying to have to keep proving to the building that you're alive.

I still have a too close relationship with the bathroom, but I slept a long time and feel better, except that I'm a little woozy and my ribs are killing me. I had fortunately thus far avoided learning that two days of stomach cramps can apparently sprain one's ribs.

It's also going to be hotter than the hinges of Hades again. Blerg.

What a good idea. I'll have to see what that could be. . . or perhaps a miniature trebuchet so that I could have a nice tool to toss things at the sensor.

We had those sensor lights in our office for a while. Our problem was that our office is long and narrow, and the sensor only covered half of it, so if we were sitting in the other half, then when the lights went off, we'd have to get up and walk over to the other side to get them to turn back on.

Ok. I went with the purple outfit. YAY. I love ebay.

We had weird bathroom sensors at the last college I taught at whereby, if you were wearing black, you might walk into the bathroom, but the light would not turn on.

Purple outfit is super adorable, vw.

Monday. Ugh.

If that was my office, I'd sit in the dark working by the light of my computer monitor.

But I like caves.
