elrhiarhodanAnd I'm not talking about the forty-minute meeting on how to use Sharepoint.
My office spaceheater, the thing that contributes to my health and well-being during the colder months of the year, just caught on fire.
It was only a small conflagration, but enough scare the shit out of me. Nothing else burned and the damn thing's already in the Dumpster.
It smells like burning chemicals and it's cold in here already.
Oh, pooh.

Date: 2012-11-29 05:12 pm (UTC)And no, I don't think so. I have a spare quartz heater at home, which I'll bring in tomorrow.

Date: 2012-11-30 03:33 pm (UTC)I had a headache for the rest of the day - the stink from the burning stuff.
But the heater from home is working just fine.

Date: 2012-11-30 03:32 pm (UTC)It's funny, but I am much, MUCH happier with the space heater I've broght from home. It doesn't make these weird noises, nor does it consume so much power that my lights flicker when it cycles on and off.
Just the hum from the fan as it pumps out heat.
So, silver linings?
