What am I to do...

... the internet kept breaking at home, so I came in to my office. 6 days to finish my book chapter, no time to slack. AC/ventilation is broken at work, so it feels like I'm working in a closet. Opened my "forbidden*" office window. Ahhh.... air. Then the construction workers across the street returned from lunch. The din of heavy machinery, saws, rocks and trees falling into dump trucks replaced the stuffy air. Not sure what was worse.


*I am one of the fortunate souls that has a forbidden window crank. When my office building was built 8 years ago, the University wouldn't give the faculty window cranks because of liability. They didn't want the faculty falling (jumping) out of the windows, or so I'm told.
