Yes, I've been a busy busy boy. Refreshed enthusiasm from the school gig has had me working on a bunch of musical gear, and actually buying something, and actually fixing something, all too involved to talk about just now, except to say that's it's been fun. And the summer job, and the movie-rendering, and helping the roomie with his car; plus it's been absolutely unbearably hot and humid here in STL, so when I needed mental refreshing it was pretty much down to watching some movies or catching a nap.
I really need to put some thought into some cool posting but right now I'm, again, all shagged out after a long squawk. One more day of the phone-job and then it's a nice two-day network administration seminar for the school, a very pleasant break from sitting on the phone. I just hope I don't melt over the next couple of days-they're predicting 97+ with heat indices in the 100's; I am just not cut out for this!
Oh well, thank goodness we have a/c! I remember doing without, not all that long ago. Air-conditioning makes life bearable in the summer, when you live in St. Louis.

A/C may be the greatest invention in the history of mankind.Even greater than toilet paper.
ReplyDeleteI think toilet paper and air conditioning are tied, but nothing's better than those.
ReplyDeleteWhat exactly do you do, QA? Music teacher, or some other musical/teaching position?
I'm not sure which one makes you more miserable if you don't have it. I love my AC, but I also love central air. I have grown to hate window boxes. I grew up in a part of the world where central air wasn't common, and in many places still isn't. It drives me nuts now. And remember when cars weren't air conditioned -- it was an expensive "option"?
ReplyDeleteWell, when I lived in a little 100 year old converted farmhouse in mid-state Illinois, I loved my little window boxes, 'cause they made the place bearable! Otherwise, I totally agree with Lily that central air is a gift of the gods. And while TP is a must, one can alway make do with kleenex or other paper, and, for myself, since I reaaalllyyy dislike other toilets than my own, I can almost always get in the shower if my hygiene experience has been less that satisfactory!
