Dear Ik09:

It is a shame that your company takes advantage of new employees. Feeling used/ taken advantaged of, on top of being overworked and underpaid, is hard to take. I do hope you find a job with a different company.

I am back from my walk, glad it’s over- I walked fast because I was not alone on the walk: vicious flies joined me at places, bumping into me. I want to be more exact about the temperatures I told you about: the average high temp here for June is 21 degrees. The all-time record high this weekend is over 40 degrees (I am translating from Fahrenheit).

In Mumbai, I see online, it’s 29 degrees and rainy, at 10 pm . I hope the temperatures are lower and that it’s raining where you live as well. I am now sitting in front of the computer post-shower with ice tea to drink, and a pack of ice against my body. I hope that you are comfortable too and that you sleep well tonight!
