Things to do when your heater is broken

Circulation pump of our building's heater is broken and National Grid can't fix this until tomorrow (Sat) noon. Here are some things we are doing to keep ourselves warm (besides the obvious layering, etc.):

  • Do laundry (especially use indoor, condensation dryer)
  • Bake flourless chocolate cake
  • Make tea (properly, with boiling water and tea dust/leaves)
  • Re-compile FreeBSD ports on a MacBook Pro that's on lap
  • Walk to local bookstore, Greenlight Bookstore, and pick up a couple of books.
  • Walk a couple of miles in snow
Update: Good news is the technician is here now and the bad news seems to be he may not have the necessary parts at hand.
