Some Cheer on the Most Stressful Day of the Year

Welcome to the worst day of the year (so far)! It has lived up to its name for me, as I’m drowning in work and managed to get very little sleep last night, thanks to the heat being unbearable in my apartment. It was 84 degrees in my room when I woke up this morning. Add a humidifer and BAM - instant steam room!

In sharp contrast, there’s no heat in my office at all today. So, I woke up in a sweat, and now I’m shivering at my desk. But our facilities manager always finds a way to make light of a bad situation in this e-mail he sent this morning:

Greetings,

The building is having issues with the boiler. A tech. is on the way or so I’ve been told.

Those of you who were on the nice list can show off your new holiday coats. Those of you on the other list can light up your lumps of coal.

How’s the most stressful day of the year going for you? To release the stress, experts are  recommending screaming and throwing a tantrum. If you feel the need, throw a tantrum in the comments. Happy Monday!
