Space heater IQ test for dummies

You are at work. At your desk there are two space heaters. There is only one of you. It gets cold in here sometimes, but right now it is not especially cold. You are not especially busy. What would you do?

  1. Move one space heater aside where it is out of the way. You won't be needing it because if you do get cold you can just put on a jacket and/or turn on the other heater. When your shift ends, leave things as they are and go home.
  2. Move one space heater aside, then turn on the second heater and aim it in a general direction. (Best to be proactive and keep it warm from the start.) When your shift ends, leave things as they are and go home.
  3. Move one space heater in front of the other space heater. Turn on the heater in back. (Best to be proactive and keep everything warm from the start. Space heaters need warmth and love too, you know.) When your shift ends, leave things as they are and go home.
Now, match the three choices above with the selections below:

     A. What usually happens
     B. What I found at my desk this morning
     C. Best choice of action

I am Nostradamus

  1. I should have posted this prediction the first of January when I made it, but here it is anyway: Utah's winter will start mid-January 2012 and it will be winter until June.
  2. I should have posted this prediction the day after the Iowa caucus because that's when I made it, but here it is anyway: Mitt Romney will be the Republican nominee because he is the guy who will be able to beat Obama.
  3. Follow-up for these will be in June and August!

Looking back


Driving home after dropping off child #1 at dance class, on my way to buy chocolate milk and bananas then pick up child #2 to go to the next dance class. Our new stomping grounds: Downtown Salt Lake. Ironically, not much faster to get through town than to take the freeway all the way to Centerville.
