Mr.Vic20 Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 My work environment look like disaster movie with scientists all press to the 3rd floor obseration glass to witness the ominous red and grey sky as welders shot sparks as they ground down points on the central staircase. This was the backdrop for the National Science Foundation tour, as they picked today to visit. It was, dystopic, dreary, and yet I had to keep it upbeat and entertain a dozen vistors!

silentbob Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 We never really had a sunrise this morning where I am because of the smoke. Looks pretty smokey right now, and so we’re running our AC to help filter out the bad shit. Think the weather network said it will stick around until tomorrow night, weekend looking good, and then we return to this shit again on Monday.
