Foo - Its Hot!

No AC in our office at work. It quit working this weekend over 100 degree temps we have had. I guess they have to order a part. Tomorrow its suppose to be 100+. I'm ready to strip down naked in my office or wear my swimsuit to work!!! :D

Hell. I do that even when it's not hot.

the AC is out and they're not letting you go home? WAOW.

Yes, QUITE hot. Rode in it Saturday and Sunday. Blech. Guess who's shopping for swamp coolers right now?

Cup full of ice, some cardboard and duct tape, combined with a desktop fan = comfort.

Remember this. And be ready to fight tooth and nail with anyone who messes with your plans....keep a LOCKED ice cooler under your desk to refuel the ghetto-AC.

I agree, you should take off all your clothes and send us the address to your webcam. :D

Nope our boss said we could wear shorts to work if we wanted. NICE HUH??

Thank God I have AC at home. :D

Did your boss say anything about short shorts and a tube top?

No as a matter of fact he didn't. Screw that stuff though I'm seriously considering going naked and then I bet you the AC will never break again.:lol:

My mother used to tell this story from her childhood, back in the days right after dirt was invented but just before mud became all the rage, that the AC in her car was a wire basket, filled with dry ice, she hung from a slightly open window. The local dairy here still sells dry ice, and I've seen it in grocery stores in other states. Put a block in a cardboard box in front of a box fan, instant depression era AC.

It's a capitalist conspiracy to keep you at work longer.

while you can't blame any one hot day on global warming, there will be lots more hot days because of global warming. especially in the west. and when the snowpack melts, you wont have any water. I'd move.

That MUST be it! You always have all the answers, Stacey! ;)

Yeah, but usually they're to all the WRONG questions! :roflmao:

That wouldn't actually have as much cooling effect as water ice (look up heat of vaporization in the phase-change from solid to liquid to vapour). In the heyday of Rolls Royce, Packard and Winton touring cars, yes a bag of ice on the gap in the slightly front-window was great AC. :)

Its up to 88 today. Its hot, my work for the day is done, and I'm headed out to the water as soon as my pupils un-dilate.

Hit 96 or so today, and I'm so stubborn I did my long ride anyway. Shortened it from 62 miles to 59.5 though. Man, those climbs were hard!

Snowy must have listened too much to that Nelly song.

Its been around 95 in the shop at work, and so humid. Yet some of the tough folks wear pants, not usre how that is done

You want some cheese to go with that? I ran a metal roofing crew for six years. Frickin' cooking on hot days. Now I'm working as a carpenter and I think about ho cool it is.

It was only 108 today in the next town over. We are usually hotter, though.

I live close to the ocean in san diego, so luckily I don't suffer much.
By the way, it's all a sign of global warming. We're all going to die.

Dang, my eyes are stilll dilated--I'm stuck at home.

If the Avian flu dosen't get us first.

In the same vein, I ran in to someone the other day that I haven't seen for a whiule (a real asshat) He asked me how I've been. When I told him about my bout with leukemia, the lady he was with chimed in "Not that Feline Leukemia that's been going around I hope", I groaned and walked away. <sheesh!>

It was nice here today. I had a time restriction so I only did about 30 miles.

Hot here with big time humidity. Heck with riding, I'm staying indoors for the next couple of days! I'm such a wimp!

Still staring at the computer in search of pictures of Snowy at work? :)

Don't you have any OSHA rules? In CA, the office temperature must between, say, 70 - 80*, or something close to that. If not, I think you can go home or some work something out with your boss - i.e. telecommute.

It's been in the 100's here in SoCal, and especially in the High Desert. I don't mind the heat - when I'm not doing office work. Sweating a ton is fine when you're cleaning out the garage, or landscaping, but in office clothes? Yuck.

High of 100 here in Austin today. I did my lunchtime run at the gym.

And even worse -- even with SPF 50 sunblock, I'm getting way more than my RDA of sun, and my arms are getting pretty burned. I'm going to have to start wearing under-armor long-sleeves to stave off the Daystar. (And I'm not running in the afternoon after work; that's bike time!)

If it's that hot tomorrow, I'll have to head to Riverside and play some disc, just to say I did.

Thank God I have AC at home. :D

Wear some Daisy Dukes into work. Not as radical as going naked, but will still get much attention.

The air conditioner for the office broke at a factory I worked for and they bought tons of fans. After the air was fixed they would not allow the fans to be used in the factory area. Go figure.

It was 101 degrees here today and very humid. I spent LOTS of time in the pool today.

Global Warming!!! YIKES. We little people can only do so much to help the planet but you have places like China that are burning coal at a crazy rate too.

Anyhoo I got to work this morning and I think the AC is working. YIPPIE. Yesterday sucked I went home with a headache.

You "think"??? If it's cool it is, if it's hot it's not :lol:

Yes its running I hear it now. THANK GOD!!!

Wow, God was your HVAC tech? How cool is that? Did you get his autograph or curry any special favor? :lol:

100 here again 3 days in arrow but at least we have the beach!

I love the beach but we have the mountains here and I wouldn't give them up for anything. Its warm but I know in a few months it will be cold. That makes it all worth it!!! :)

" Its Hot!"

No, the correct saying is, "That's hot!"... ;)

Nope. Hasn't reached 100 in NH this year.

my bank sign says 99.. if you wanna split hairs in half maybe take it up with them?
Ill stand my ground and tell you that it' s figgen hot whatever it is!:p

I remember workin at the lube and wash changing oil. I used to take a rag and soak it, and wrap it around my head, resoaking it every 20 or so minutes. That was the only way I could have continued working, that rag really made a difference, otherwise it would have just too freakin hot in the garage for me.

It's so hot the chickens are laying poached eggs!

Dont blame you there, id trade my view for yours!

I'll say. That Inkeeper has to be pretty greusome at 1 AM :lol:

It was 109 F yesterday, and 107 F the day before. 95 F would feel great about now!
