YAY!!!!!

[fictional]

this e-mail was waiting in my inbox today:

To all WRIers:
* Since the working environment called Rice Hall is insufferable, and
* Since WRI wishes to avert any proceedings by OSHA, and
* Since at least Mary Jane and I currently find it more comfortable to work at home,
all WRIers may be excused from further suffering in Rice Hall this afternoon.
Have a refreshing July 4th everyone, and let us hope improved
meteorological conditions restore Rice Hall to reasonable levels of comfort
by next Monday.
Keith
