In better days.
.
My new building, as beautiful as it is, is FREEZING. My office is consistently hovering around 62 degrees. Maybe colder. Oftentimes in the morning, my fingers are so numb that I can barely type. It's cold enough that I wish I was a coffee drinker, anything to get my internal temperature up. We are constantly calling Facilities to ask them to turn the temperature up, but it seems to be of no use. I continue to shiver, the goose bumps still rise. Brr. I think I'm going to bring a lap blanket to work.
The frigid temperatures were painfully evident this morning. My cactus is dead. It's my 2nd recent loss {the other being a result of the Cactus Killer at Goldman Sachs}. I watered as I was supposed to. It was sitting next to the window in my office, getting plenty of light {but not too much direct light- cacti can actually burn like humans do}. The only thing that I can think of is that it is absolutely, ridiculously freezing in here. I wear a jacket most days, and my cold little cactus has had to sit there naked, freezing, dying. I'm sad.

That was your "congratulations on a new job" cactus (aka best gift ever)
I'm sorry love. I haven't thrown it out yet. Wanda is keeping it on her desk for a while to try to coax it back to life (she is talking to it, and named it "Grapefruit"). But it's looking pretty dead. :(
Oh how sad! I'm a plant killer by nature. I killed the pretty plant Mom gave me the last time she visited. I just can't win. I either forget to water plants or I over water them. Turns out you can drown plants! I'm sorry for your loss.
it is SO cold and gloomy here. I am ready for Summer to be OVER and get back to sunny most beautiful city ever San Francisco:( oh, did I mention me and my friend want to come to New York sometime . . .
It's FREEZING on the trading floor where I sit. The guys are always complaining while I sit there, with frostbite. It turns out they keep the ac at 60!!! I totally keep a blanket under my desk. It helps.
Tara, you need to buy a peace lilly or a jade plant. They are very, very difficult to kill and give me hope that someday I might be able to keep a small child alive.
Kera- please,please please come visit me. That would be so fun. You could bring Haidyn, or my mom could watch her for a weekend. :)
