Luck -- OH HI HEAT!
Jul. 21st, 2011 09:06 pmSo for some reason I more or less hit the jackpot at work today, and 4/5 developers, some of whom I've been chasing for months, finally got back to me and gave me a straight answer. The odds of that are about as good as me winning the lottery. And in fact I was kind of tempted to get a scratch ticket to see if I could push my luck but decided against it.
Oh, and HELLO BRAIN MELTING HEAT. In the 10 minutes I was outside going to and from work I felt like keeling over. Twice. When I got home the cat was meowing at me for five straight minutes like he was demanding I turn down the sun. I told him I couldn't do that but turned on both ACs (one in my room and one in D's) and got the place cooled down. Irish people were not designed for this level of heat.
But I felt really sorry for the folks at work who volunteered to do the field day. Holy crap, there will be some sunburns tomorrow.
And my good deed of the day was finding a ring someone had left in the bathroom and giving it to the front desk to hold onto until someone claims it, just in case someone who had fewer scruples than I do came along and just pocketed it. I also put a post-it on the mirror where I found it saying that if anyone had lost a ring to go to the front desk, and I didn't specify what kind of ring it was just in case someone tried to falsely claim it. I do hope that whoever lost it finds it, since I could tell it was a really important piece of jewelry just by looking at it.
