THOUGHTS AND MUSINGS HONORING SURFACEY CONVERSATIONS, FAMILY, AND THE EXCRUCIATING MINUTIAE OF EVERYDAY LIFE

Office Or Sauna?

Conversation in my office (which I share with three women, until Friday, when I get to leave this summer job!!) this morning, with the temperature expected to break 100 degrees outside.

FG (Facilities Guy): Yesterday when it was 100 degrees outside, it was 85 in this building. It sure is hot in your office.

W1 (Woman One): Yeah, it's pretty unbearable right now.

FG: Well, they're starting to put in a new compressor - should take several days. The people across the hall said that they're leaving at noon today.

W1: Oh, but we're tough. We'll be working through the day.

Sam: Not me. I'm not tough. I will be leaving early today.

I left the office to run an errand on campus. When I returned, another woman told me that they would all be leaving early today. Fine by me, since I won't be there.

Good job on being a trendsetter. Someone has to blaze the trail for the others who are weak and can't do it themselves...

Sam wins! Seriously, no job is worth heat stroke.
