Halifax, 2004.05.09
My girlfriend's gone. I spent the day in a bit of stunned haze. Been feeling like I might have a bit of bug coming on.
I went into the office, read email for 90 minutes, and hated the 29ºC air temperature. I can't understand why Keane can't get the A/C working in the Halifax ADC. It's just bizarre. With the carpet tiles coming up, the bare walls, the hot air, and the lack of real cubicles, it's hardly the most comfortable environment I've worked in. But I guess it's cheap to maintain.
