Heatwave! Heatwave! Oh Boy Is It An Oppressive Heatwave!

I know that other bloggers have touched this subject since the beginning of blog time, some few short years ago. Even I briefly touched the subject already, and I must continue!

On my way into the office building from the subway, which connects directly into the basement of my building a young woman seemed to be overtaken by the heat and decided to “rest” on the pavement instead of going into the air conditioned building. I guess she figured it better to show good signs of heatstroke in public, just 10 feet away from the entrance that 85% of your coworkers use, rather than going inside and asking for help. Swallow some pride and inform someone that your head hurts or something, no need to let yourself look like a fool who didn’t drink any water this morning. Aye, a fool.

That “aye” is a reference to Henry David Thoreau. Who I feel is a gigantic douche bag of a writer. I need to read “Civil Disobedience and Other Essays” for my history class. I read Ben Franklin’s Autobiography, and Frederick Douglas’ Narrative already, BF was quite full of himself, and FD was an interesting read, and maybe it’s the heat that is getting to me but Thoreau books should not be read. He makes me want to induce vomiting, with his over the top full of hot air way of writing. Yesterday on the subway after class, when I was going home around 4pm, the a/c which had been running strong, stopped altogether, and the cars of this N train got crowded and hot. A woman and her about 4-year-old girl sat next to me. The girl was sitting on her mother’s lap, with her mom fanning her. This whole I’m not touching you, but I’m waving something in your face on top of reading douche bag Thoreau was not going to be stood for. So, I channeled all my energy into nothing but good, and I politely said, “Can you please fan your daughter from the other side?” The woman huffed, and complied, but apparently her right hand doesn’t work well in a fanning motion. I was happy.

So, the FDNY and ConEd are outside my office building, looks like we may need to evacuate today.

Gotta go get some work done.
