Day two-hundred-seventy-five

A simple observation: ever since we moved out of the controlled climate of the digital room into the warehouse, everything feels drier.

The printed material feels drier, the packing paper is drier and more crinkly, and the cardboard has a slightly coarser texture. Even my hands and my son feel drier to the touch. At first, I simply thought it was because it was so much cooler in digital room, what with the constant running of the air conditioner. The temperature disparity can be anywhere from twenty to thrift degrees Fahrenheit depending on how hot it is outside.

Turns out there's a much simpler reason. Mounted on the west wall of the digital room is a device that is constantly giving off a steady amount of steam. Only today did I discover, much less realize, that it was a humidifier.

That's alomst with months of working for the company. I guess it goes to show you don't think about what you're not giving your attention.
