Temperatures up to nearly 100 degrees made the wander in a bit difficult. Almost got taken out by a girl (gabbing, of course) who ran a red light in Union Square. At the office, I found that my machine wasconstantly shutting down due to a "heat-related incident." The IT guys swapped my narcoleptic box with a newer, XP model which is great, but doesn't have everything I need to do my day-to-day work. (Without access to the general ledger and my reporting formats, am prettymuch dead in the water). I'd go back home again, but the air conditioning's actually a major incentive to stay here. (Generally that and a paycheck are what my loyalty is based on at this point.)
