The Joys of Spring
I just sent this to everyone in MyCompany:
Because of the high temps this weekend the building may seem a bit warm this morning -- it's that time of year when we face the challenge of keeping the building comfortable when the temperature outside fluctuates. We are working on cooling things down a bit.
Thanks for your patience,
me
That's Faciliteze for "I know it's hotter than McDonald's coffee in here so please, don't call me 100 times because I'm sitting here in a wife beater and a Nike headband, okay? Stop whining."
Ah, springtime. I'd forgotten some of the good and bad of spring:
- I love sleeping with the windows open! Go frogs, go!
- I hate the fact that HB has the sprinklers programmed for 0'Dark:30. At 5am those bastards pop up cheerfully and start spraying joy and goodness all over the back yard. Unfortunately, one of them is too close to a tree, so in addition to the "chucka chucka chucka sssshhhhhhhhhhhhhh", you get an added "fwacka fwacka fwacka" as it hits the tree. Every minute. For 30 minutes. While I'm trying to sleep....
- I love the feeling of warm grass between my toes.
- I hate the feeling of warm poopie between my toes.
- I love the shade of light green the forest in our backyard takes on before it becomes one giant green wall.
- I hate how dark our house gets in the summer because of all the shade.
- I love love LOVE smoking outside when it's like this.
- I hate the idea of quitting, but I really have to.
- I love getting up early!
- I hate driving to work when it's still dusk -- I've already narrowly missed a racoon and 2 deer...
- I love the fact the MyCompany is surrounded by ponds. Ponds in springtime = baby ducks. SQEEEEeeeeeeeeel!! I heart baby ducks.
- Ponds also mean geese which = big nasty green geese poopy piles everywhere.
- I love not having to wear nylons. Oh, the joy of bare legs and sandals!
- I hate how white and splotchy my legs are right now.
- I love the smell of spring -- fresh!
- unless they are fertilizing the lawn.... not-so-fresh.
Time to get to work. I mostly posted this because I wanted something other than my horribly embarassing public flatulance moment last week.
