My very own "ricardo"


My office is cold. And not just oh the air conditioner is on and it's a little chilly cold. It's arctic tundra, bring a coat and blanket to work when it's 75 degrees outside, mittens and hat cold. Around the office our cube is referred to as the ice box. Perhaps this has contributed to my current state of illness? (and yes, I realize I'm being a little dramatic about being sick) Anyways...today Caroline (one of my cube mates) and I decided we'd had enough. We hopped online and each ordered one of these...


A space heater!! Hooray! Anyone remember Steph's space heater "ricardo" in Italy? Remember how it warmed up those cold dorms in the dead of winter in Torino? Remember how wonderful it was to not have to wear seven layers of clothing indoors? Well, I will finally have a "ricardo" of my own to keep my cube nice and warm! They are being delivered to the office tomorrow. I can't wait!

Do I remember Ricardo? You bet. I also remember having to flip the circuit breaker at least once a day because the electrical system couldn't handle my space heater (who remains unnamed) and Ricardo, or one space heater and a hair dryer, or a hair dryer and a night light, or just the night light. People really don't know what they are asking for when they want to live in an Italian villa.
