Too hot

Too hot, brain slow, productivity down to almost nil.
People keep asking for help here at work and I just stare at them because I really can’t think of anything. Not anything useful, just anything. My head is full of empty.

Setting up plans to work in a different part of the office tomorrow away from the heat.

Funny thing is the two IT guys have disappeared so somebody told me I am now IT since I seem to be third in line since I know so much stuff. They are so screwed.

4pm San Francisco 90 degrees. High today predicted to be 77.
High tomorrow predicted to be 79.
Room seems to think it is 80 or little more.
Berkeley even hotter. *wimper*

  1. For me, the build room, far away from any actual internet connected systems and my phone, is wonderfully air conditioned. The rest of the building, which is modern and probably reasonably climate controlled is starting to feel like a sweatbox.

    Why aren’t there more companies looking for people in Half Moon Bay; a place with a reasonable climate?

  2. 90 deg? Wow.

    We have been about 10 deg cooler that normal for the last month or so. The weather here has been so weird that we don’t know what to expect. I was carrying an umbrella with me the other day.

    Here is the big secret that IT people don’t want you to know (other than me).
    We only know a little bit more that everyone else.
    Therefor if you know more than the other employees then you are an IT expert.

    1. Oh, I knew that about IT a long time ago. The knowledge came from stumping them with problems because I had already gone through the low level stuff on my own.

      I think it is kinda cool to be an honorary IT member. The only reason I don’t do IT as a real job is because when I get really stumped, I get fustrated and don’t want to work on it anymore. As an honorary member, I only have to work on someone until I am willing to admit I don’t know and you need to find a “real” IT person.

      I like figuring out the mysteries but hate being the final goto person to make things work.

      1. Sometimes, the “Real” IT people get to scratch there heads and say “I don’t know.” Unfortunately, some (L)users don’t like that answer. That is when they are labeled as ID Ten T (ID10T):)
