Air-Conditioned Grad Office is now a Reality!
Yes my friends, the dream is now a reality. Sorry to rub it in the faces of those who have since left the Office of Public Archaeology, but the grad office is now AIR CONDITIONED with a "Frigedaire" (complete with remote control) air conditioner. As part of the generation of the air-conditioned grad office, I would like to say that it is indeed a beautiful day. The sweltering summer heat will now remain outside of the building, and in the field where it belongs. It seems Al-Uzzah has smiled kindly upon us...

How did this happen?! Surely this came not from the pocket of Uncle OPA?
Yeah, I heard someone died of heat exhuastion on campus and the Anthro department did not want to be a part of that publicity. Maybe Dr. J had to work up there for more than an hour and realized that it is unbearable. Or maybe it was the fact that Scott's face got 4 times as red compared to other summers. I always felt guilty for having that A/C in the downstairs office. I felt the same about my bath tub. It was nice when I needed to relax in some bubbles.
I wonder when the Grad Office will get a bathtub...
You know I turned the water on in that bath once to see if it was still hooked up. A brown liquid substance that I guess you could call water came out of the faucet. The office stunk for a week.
You guys promise me you'll keep the window open on nice days. I always liked the greenery.
They'd better not put a bathtub in the Grad Office, otherwise it would be impossible to dislodge Holly from it during lunchtime.
Hoagies anyone...?
HA! ZING
Not only do you OPA folks stand in danger of losing the yoder-loved greenery, but the "gentle whir" of this dearly beloved bit of machinery is going to nix all the chirping of birdies and Elms girls. Sad but true!!!
No, methinks you ought to have to suffer and we should move the beast across the hall to my room...or maybe to Berge's hall o' historics where I'll probably live come thesis days. Yes, I will sacrifice for you all and take this burden off your shoulders. It will be difficult to bear, but my respect and admiration for you shall stem my fear and... wow...this got long. Well, anyway:
GIMMEE YOUR A/C OR THE NACHO LIBRE POSTER GETS IT!
Hallelujah!!
I'll admit, as nice as it is I think I'll be a little freaked out when I see it this morning...that's one HUGE paradigm shift!
Jenny,
That's the way progress works. Who cares about a bunch of birds chirping when the climate is pleasant and bearable?
Plus, you're never in "your room" anyway so moving it wouldn't do you any good. Brett and Mark might thank you for it though...
Progress is highly over-rated, Aaron. Hence your fascination with ancient technology. Hmm...
