Halifax, 2004.06.07

Today the air temperature at the office hit 28ºC.

But that's nothing compared to the 32ºC it had been holding at during the weekend. Keane, apparently, doesn't want to part with the $85 an hour to keep the place reasonably cool. I doubt I have to mention this, but the place smells like a locker room.

Illusions commend themselves to us because they save us pain and allow us to enjoy pleasure instead. We must therefore accept it without complaint when they sometimes collide with a bit of reality against which they are dashed to pieces.

—Sigmund Freud
