the sky is falling

Either that, or it's that dang ghost in the attic...

They're re-roofing my building right now. In and of itself, that's a good thing. No one wants to have a bad roof. The problem is that this morning they're in the attic directly above my office. They've been banging and thuding for a while so far (not the banging and pounding of nails, but more like dropping 50 pound bags of cement all through the attic or of very heavy chains being dragged and dropped). Every now and again I also get the smaller patter of dirt and plaster falling onto the ceiling of my office, as though if the drop ceiling weren't there, I would be getting a little dusty right now. It's just a little unnerving. The office's A/C unit is also up there, and I won't be shy about removing some heads if they damage that! At least it's a little cooler today than it has been, but still.

Ah, take the rest of the day off or "work at home".
