Yesterday was the hottest day in Ottawa since 1911. Today was the hottest since 1893. Tomorrow and Saturday are set to break records as well. It's the second week of May, not mid-July. Why is it 32C? Literally "Not Cool." It's back down to closer to normal after this mini heat wave, so I am resisting setting up the air con if I can manage it. At least it's going below 20C at night so I can leave the windows open, and then close them in the morning.
All of the people in my general area at work have been thrilled with the summer weather, and I want to metaphorically die. I hate the summer. I love sunshine, that part is lovely, but the humidity, the oppressive heat, it all just makes me miserable and cranky.
94 degrees f* where I live with very high humidity. Man, when summer heat hits (in the spring!) it doesn't screw around!! Thank god for fans. * That's 34.4 celsius.
every season is sweater-weather! no, but really..... it was 85 today and the AC was on too high. so i was walking around with a blanket on. in the winter, the heat isnt on high enough and i have my sweater and/or blanket.
I used to know a gentleman (long since passed away) who was a retiree from IBM. He often mentioned that an operative rule in management is (or was, perhaps): "When you need something done, give it to the person who already has too much work -- they can't afford to let it sit around."
The office where I work is like that, too. The other guys are wandering around in summer shirts, complaining that it's too hot. The office administrator is wearing a jacket and I'm wearing a lined vest, and we're both cold.
Well, in a way. I mean, sometimes you gotta wear one, sometimes you are one. One who sweats that is—aka a sweater.
That's me. If I were a video game character, I'd have +50% frost resistance and -50% fire resistance. When I still worked in the office rather than at home, I always had a small USB fan at my desk. At the same time, the girls there were wrapped up in blankets.
I just slapped the shit out of a spider with my bare fucking hand. Why was that my impulse? Why did I touch the scary spooky thing???
Your body decided to face your greatest fear. ————- The past week, we’ve had, like, three different assignments at work that all needed to be done by the 17th. I swear to fuck… I can feel my brain cracking.
89.9 F I’m sure no one else does this, but hot temperature make more sense to me in Fahrenheit, while I understand cold temperatures better in Celsius. Explain that one!
I grew up in Fahrenheit but live in Celsius now. I memorized a few random points along the scale and just rough my way off of them: 100c=212f, boiling 35c=too fucking hot, aka Osaka summer 28c=82f, the boundary line between a nice warm day and a hot day 25c=the temperature we should be able to agree on for the office a/c 18c=a nice office temperature except the women and ectomorphs (and especially the ectomorphic women, of whom there is no shortage in this country) freeze solid 6c=43f (it was in a textbook once) 0c=32f, freezing. Time to change from shorts to long pants in the fall and back to shorts in the spring in Chicago. 0330 a.m. in late February during a cold snap in Osaka -18c=0f, pretty cold even in Chicago. Incomprehensible in Osaka -40c=-40f, nope and nope
I remember way back in ancient times when I was tasked with calculating this. Probably in a chemistry class.
Not to brag*, but the other day I successfully converted C to F in my head. Of course I can only do that if it's evenly divisible by 5... * absolutely to brag
Double the C and add 30 to get F is the quick and dirty forumula.... I think the real one is C times 9/5 + 32 to get F.
I've had a few experiences regarding this temp. None of them were good. Ice blows around like micro-razors that cut your face and eyes. The air burns even the smallest open hole to your skin. You become surprisingly numb in random places after too long. Good times.
We'd see -20F every once in a while in NH. It was cold but tolerable because it was dry. -70F with the windchill was bad. Have to imagine a straight -40F is brutal. -5 is nothing. Keep the beers in the snowbanks to keep them from freezing.
Reminds me of the time in my misspent youth when my buddy and I went hiking in minus 20F temps, and carried beer in our backpacks. That was when Lowebrau was new and the idea was it should be consumed at room temperature. So we were sure to get bottles that had not been refrigerated. Well. . .. by the time we decided to have some beer with our, um, "smokes," we found it frozen to slush. Did I mention this was in the early '70s? Some of us were, well, open to various mind-expanding items. Kind of made us pleasantly stupid; I trust and hope I have mostly recovered since then.
I have recently been informed some medical supplies I tried to order would be accompanied by a $265 copay. I tried calling my insurance to ask what was up with that, but got stuck talking to a rep who didn’t even know what the items I was ordering were. That $265 is up from $107, and on top of what I already pay in premiums and other out of pocket expenses.
