Been suffering from a similar malady myself. My current round of random rotating headers would be a clue to that. However, yesterday I got to get out of the office- unfortunately, it was only to wait in line at a government office from 7:45 am until 6:00 pm. Then, lucky me, I got to go take my place back in line this morning. So yeah, a bit stir crazy.
On the bright side, I did manage to read 2.75 novels whilst patiently queuing.
It was a whole lotta waiting. However, the timing was good- our office was apparently struck by lightning Monday, we’ve had no AC all week. At least the gov’t offices were cooled! Mission was finally accomplished, and when I got back today they’ve finally managed to get ½ the units back online. (So it’s only half sweltering in here.)
Nothing special, all very light reading- good for passing the time in the midst of a crowd of panicked, impatient people.
1) The Last Promise, by Richard Paul Evans- Sweet, somewhat predictable, love story set in Tuscany.
2) Street Boys, by Lorenzo Carcaterra. Felt like reading the novelization of a rather good action movie. Would make a better movie than book, but still worth reading, if only because it’s a fictionalized account of a real happening- in 1943 when a band of street orphans fought the Nazis for what was left of Naples.
3) Danger Zone, Shirley Palmer- ¾ of the way thru it, very John Grisham-y.
What are they holding for you?
Meanwhile, I'm simultaneously reading The Codex by Douglas Preston and Blink by Malcolm Gladwell. I just finished The Tipping Point by Mr. Gladwell and found it quite fascinating. I saw a bit of him on television talking about 'Blink', and I think it'll be excellent, too.
I'm glad you survived your bustle and moreso the heat. We had a malfunction of sorts in my office space (which lasted for several months) in which my office temperature was near 90 degrees. It wasn't horrible in the middle of winter, but when it started to warm up outside and the right people finally squawked about it, they came and fixed the problem. I should have feigned sickness long before I literally became sick of the heat one day. Live and learn, I guess.
