Hot water?? What's that?
I brought a small space heater and desk lamp to work today.
I'm hoping the lamp will help with the S.A.D. My office has only a single incandescant fixture on the ceiling and the way my desk is positioned it is behind me. The lamp lights up my desk so I can actually see things.
The heater is helping too.

All right GTcommuter!
Ron, it is 62° outside. If you rode your bike today, you'd be happy now.

You people suck. It's 20F and snowing out. If I did not have my 3 year old I would grab my mountain bike and ride around the block. Being stuck inside is not one of my strong points.

j/k about the whip my *** part, but he did give me some grief about not riding.

I drove today so I could bring a small space heater and a desk lamp. Now I can see what I'm doing at work and it helps the S.A.D.
But I did wear shorts if that counts.

Things are looking better for Tuesday.
