Tower of Bab…oxes???

After only getting 3 hours of sleep yesterday due to me creating the next homework for computer vision and an early morning meeting with my advisor, I learned that all the testing has to be done this week for the paper abstract deadline next week. Oh joy joy. So instead of going home to sleep off the afternoon, I had to do horror of horrors…actual work. However, it was SOOO cold down in the dungeon. Usually it is quite chilly and I’ll wear a light sweater but it was just completely rediculous today. Somebody must have left the AC on manual override or maybe just sucking in 40F air from houtside. Anyhow, there is a giant vent right up and to the left of my workstation. And with the surgeon coming in the following morning, I was going to be working most of the night. So I decided to do something about this infernally powerful AC draft. After several ideas, I came up with a box wedge solution. The only problem? What do I wedge the box against to block the vent? Turns out the solution is to construct a giant stack of boxes. And it worked! Oh the flush of warm success cascaded down on me like the harsh crushing clank of a dropped needle.
