Yeah yeah shut up and tell me about the free sauna you say...
I unlock the office and go throuhg the usual routine of opening up only to find that the air conditioning isn't working yet again.
YEEARRRRRRRGGGHHHH............. 2nd time in as many weeks and what makes the problem worse is not one air conditioning company I call can come in to fix it until tomorrow...
I stole this list from Rhi thought seeing someone one day may read this blog here is something about me.
