1. Isn't Lostinva supposed to come over and fan you or something then?
You are the sugarmom, or something like that.

3. That lucky bitch got a half day because their power went out
I'm just busy dying in the world's hottest office.

Dehumidifiers do nothing for the heat.

5. Damn, that sucks.
Do they not have a/c or is it kaput?

You'll notice that out of compassion for your dilemma, I've not suggested ways of helping to cool off, such as taking off your shirt. I have matured so much.

6. I believe there is A/C

It's just not being used.

And, you are being mature.

8. You must be around here. We had frost warnings Thursday night,
80 Friday, 90's ever since. This is in PA, where we are supposed to be in the 60's right now.

We need a "sweating" smiley.

32. It has been a wild weather ride here in NJ
Freezing last week, boiling this week, but "down the shore" we had an ocean breeze on Saturday and it stayed very temperate, unlike the rest of the state.

10. I think those are fair grounds for unsafe working conditions. They must let you leave.

16. It's so nice and cool at home
I have all the windows open and the fan on... even the dogs are being good and sleeping. What wonderful luck having a transformer blow at work.

Can you stop on the way home and pick up subs for dinner? I don't feel like cooking.
