Do you remember how in Korea,
people believe that if you sleep with the fan on
you'll die? Well, there's a different kind of fan
death going on here. Yesterday afternoon I was napping - sprawled directly in
front of my fan as the temperature was over 100F - when I was awakened by a
loud POP! I awoke to discover that my apartment reeked of an electrical fire,
and that my fan's motor had exploded! The office has given me several excuses
as to why they can't provide me with another fan (they already provided me with
one, if they get another it will just burn out too, they can't find me a fan
because they're all sold out right now, etc), so as yet I am fanless and
melting... although at least it isn't humid here. I am tempted to just buy
myself a fan, although you know as soon as I do the office will provide me with
one. Grrr. Meanwhile, I am currently camped out at the internet cafe as they
have a superpowered AC which I am sitting directly under.
