The Heat is On

Last night was the first time this year that I have to run the AC while sleeping. Today is the same, hot and humid. It was so humid that you can squeeze the water out of the air. I was constantly sweating even just sitting in front of the computer. Dark cloud is gathering at the southern horizon. Distance thunder signaling the coming rain storm. This is a typical Summer afternoon in Taiwan.
Last week was the most boring week at work. Our project is delayed due to the delay of the parts supplier. A whole chain reaction triggered down to us. I was so sick of browsing the Internet, mind you, I was looking for work related information. When twiddling your thumbs at the desk, don't you get a feeling that the blade of the axe is pretty close to your neck?
Nothing better then doing what you like to do and make money from it at the same time. My buddy got lay off from HP few years ago, a woodworking hobbyist. Now he's got a job at a wood working shop. I hope I can get a job at a photo processing lab someday, before I can no longer walk.
I went back to my old photos and processed few more pictures. I have posted them here, check it out. They are office buildings on Seaport Blvd. Redwood City, way out into the Bay. Note: After the map opens, zoom in to the office complex at the center, top of the map for a closer bird's eye look.

Comments:
Our sailmaker here at the Spinnaker Shop is in his sixties. He had retired from his career of managing a machine shop, loved sailing, and applied for the job here. He's fabulous. A few months ago he was thinking about re-retiring but his mother-in-law moved in with him and his wife so he decided to keep working. Lucky for us.
