Its 31C over here (that’s about 88F). Its warm. The office has no a/c, the windows don’t open, and we have 8 computers running 24/7. I’m sat at my desk practically dripping in sweat ☹

We’ve had some brutally hot days here lately… 34 c is like what… a million fahrenheit?

And then there’s been thunderstorms and tornadoes to make things even more fun.

This Canuck was thinking he’d like a summer home in Antarctica.

Here in Denver we’ve had some recent 100+ days. TOO HOT. So hot that you can’t breathe when you go outside. I suppose I should be happy that at least it’s a _dry_ heat. Except for when the whole state catches on fire. That part sucks too.

My problem is that I am always FREEZING cold in the office. I wear long sleeves and pants every day, stopping short of turtlenecks and sweaters so I don’t boil when I do have to go outside. Plus I have an extra sweater that I put on over my outfit to keep warm, and a little space heater under my desk. When people walk in my office they always complain about how hot it is.  
Anyhoo, with the 100+ weather, our building’s A/C has gone into overdrive and my office is EVEN COLDER! I am currently sitting here with extra sweater, space heater and a BLANKET wrapped around my shoulders to keep warm. Even so, my hands are ice cold and actually hurt.

It was so nice two weeks ago when the A/C was out…I was the only comfortable person in my department.

Sigh. Come back 70 degree weather, come back!

::checks [weather.com](http://weather.com):: Thank Og, it looks like the heat wave here is breaking! Only 85 F right now, heat index 87 F. I’ve been holed up in front of the fan for the last few days- no, we don’t have A/C. The joys of an old house…
