I have spent way too much time dealing with and touching a dead guy's balls today. I have a feeling the next class is also going to demand a lot of guided tours through his balls.

Everyone needs a hobby?

Now I'm doing open lab and I'm pretty sure the next two hours are going to be almost entirely about the dead guy's balls.

Finally, the heat has hit the office.

There's no actual heatwave per se in the UK right now, but once it gets above a certain outside temperature, the inside temperature here rises dramatically, due to terrible venting.

Which means we have about 50 million complaints from students about it being too hot to sleep or study.  Every year,without fail, this happens.  And every year, without fail, no-one looks into installing air conditioning or similar.

The Good Reverend Roger

Working from home today, on the newest project.  Told the operators to call me if anything weird happens.

The chilled water system went tits-up, due to a modulating valve blowing a fuse.  The operator decides to wander around the tank farm trying to find a pump not running (the control room panel tells you if that's not happening).  The first thing I know about it is a call from an occupant's engineer, wondering why his air handling system is full of hot water.

Problem is fixed now, but heads are going to roll on Monday.

"Billy, when I say that ethics is our number one priority and safety is also our number one priority, you should take that to mean exactly what I said. Also quality. That's our number one priority as well. Don't look at me that way, you're in the corporate world now and this is how it works."

Looks like I'm gonna need an ODB reader, at the very least. And my mourning dove died today. Sucks.  I'm going to start double-spacing my periods again, because this has not been my best millennium on record.

The other thing that could solve this problem would be to remove all window restrictors.  It wouldn't be perfect, but it would allow more of the hot air to leave, so it would be cooler in the evenings and overnight.  This is against the law, as student accommodations are required to have restricted windows, but given their attitude to other health and safety laws, you'd think that wouldn't bother them.

But no.  In this particular case, they follow the law to the letter.

It's like they WANT the place to be a disaster in waiting.

There's a reason I've taken all of July as my holiday time  :lulz:  Between the summer school students and the heat, this place is going to be a shitshow.

And I'm going to be somewhere in central Europe, visiting places of Culture and affordable, cold beer instead.

SWEET MERCIFUL FUCK THERE'S GOING TO BE A NEW GALAKTIKON ALBUM.

That is all.

Welllll so my car which just came out of the shop and cost about $1050 to fix just broke down, stranding Salty and li'l Salty at the side of the road in Washington.

Fuck

Salty

A coolant hose snapped/melted/tore off, so I removed the broken bit and crammed the hose back on without its sensor, or whatever, and now I'm back and beer/bed.
