Room With A View

Outside, looking in...and up...and UP...

It is always cold at work. I thought last year that, surely, come summer I could finally stop trying to come up with new layering combinations. But no; summer has come and gone, and just...no.  The building is one of those made-entirely-out-of-mirrored-windows deals, and that does have trouble with insulation. Just crank up the heat courtesy of Big Government, right? The State building should not be cold! Hah. We are trapped in the lee of our own parking garage, and the other side of the floor – the bastards who get a view – are fine, just fine with the heat. While us Shadow People have to wear ski vests at work.

PARKING GARAGE!!!!

Inside looking out -- at THE VIEW

...Although, we do have the added benefit of knowing the leaving schedule of every other worker on our floor. They give away their precious secrets by coming over to the Shadow Side, walking to the mouths of one of our cubicles, and instead of speaking to the denizen within who looks up so expectantly, the visitor gazes blankly past the poor fool's right ear to auto-start their cars through our windows. We’ll use this to our advantage someday -- you just wait, Light Side People!!
