Jeff Puthoff: “I’m a fan of your fan.”

With the first warmer weeks of spring came unexpected warmer days in Choice One’s Sidney office as one of the building’s AC units went on the fritz. To keep a little air moving, Kyle Siegrist brought a fan from home that invited comments from passersby, which Kyle then exhibited on the fan. Not only did Jeff Puthoff make his pun-intended dad joke, but Brian Barhorst allegedly commented, “I’m Kyle’s biggest fan.”  We’ll not remark on the legitimacy of that statement.

The temporary lack of AC in the office this week made many of us older Choice Oners reminisce about the days of yore, before AC was in every building and when some of us had less gray hair. Tales of the olden times have been recalled all week, like all the hand-cramping that used to happen during Christmas card signing, how there was a time we didn’t realize we could drink coffee after lunch, and, of course, how Jeff Puthoff used to have a mullet.

Thankfully, the AC has been fixed and generally, everyone is back to being cold. With the AC on, we can stop being ‘fans’ of the good old days. Kyle, however, will continue his usual role as the office comedian, fan or no fan.
