“Putting in extra effort is a sign of weakness … like those serrated blades in the fan. Those are not needed to cut through air.”
“You never know. The air is thick with conspiracy and there is no temperature control.”
“ wonder what all it cuts ….”
“Cuts? Icy indifference and combustible temperaments can damage more. I worked here for more than a decade.”
