ME, TURNING OFF MY SUNLAMP AFTER USING IT FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS WINTER: Cripes it's dark in here.

I don't know that the lightbox will save me but I am no longer surprised that I've been doing so poorly.



In other news, I've started getting strata council email. Yesterday included one from a woman who wanted someone to come open the bleeder valve on her radiator. I considered volunteering but decided that messing with finicky mechanicals was not how I wanted to start my tenure. Another guy on council said he'd go take care of it.

A couple of hours later we had a flurry of emails regarding a massive water leak in that unit.

Apparently the bleeder valve snapped, and when they tried to activate the water shutoff in the unit that also broke off.

I am feeling only a very little schadenfreude that this is a unit belonging to someone who voted Against having more hot water in the building, because it's a) a crappy situation for her (now she's got no heat in her unit at all), b) not great news for units next to or below either, and c) ultimately problematic for everyone in the building.

But still.

You also closed off part of the only window with a bookshelf, plus closed off the bedroom window.

There's also a pretty long dark hallway on the way in, which allows the eyes to adjust without noticing.

Yeah. That sounds about right.
