Far. Too. Hot.

the_eggwhiteOnce again I am finding it difficult to stay on track with what I'm doing. It's too hot and muggy to concentrate on anything. Our new masters in Marketing seem to have the right idea about fans, though. We went over there yesterday for somebody's leaving do (more on that in a mo) and they had a fan on every desk, one of which was one of those hefty industrial style wind-blower things... Unlike here, where requests for fans or aircon result in blank looks.
But I mentioned a leaving do... So I'll go back to that now. Yesterday somebody left from the Marketing department, and we were all invited to go over to the leaving do, since we're now officially part of that department. It was a bit odd - we go over to a room full of people we don't know, with at least one of them being somebody we'll never see again! Kind of a "Hi... Bye!" deal.
Very odd.
Incidentally, I've been acquiring a bunch of new people on my friends list as a result of a brief flurry of activity on Treehouse, the Tad Williams Mailing List on Yahoogroups... which I've been a mod on since, oh, about the dawn of time. I predate the move from a proprietary list run by penguin to a yahoogroup (more accurately, to another company that merged with a second company which was then bought by yahoo) by quite a long way. Decent bunch of folks. Don't eat them. Unless they ask nicely.
