So how many of you other dickheads are dealing with a heat wave right now?

[Conspicuously Absent]

cry more about your heat. when I left work 2 hours ago, they were unloading the fish that we're processing on my shift tonight. Meaning it gets to bake all day. So by the time we get it, it will be half rotten. I get to become wonderfully ill again tonight!!!!

btw, if you wonder what we use this for.... surimi, it's the shit they use to make imitation meat, generally seafood, but some places use it to make other forms of 'meat product'. I know some of the places are taco bell, mcdonalds and burger king, cause we've shipped orders destined for the assorted company's "processing plant".

have a great fast food lunch, i'm going ot bed.

I know we're always looking for ways to beat the heat but this is fucking fantastic.

Remember the end of the movie "Titanic," where the ship upended in the water and the passengers slid down the length of the deck to an icy death in the water below?

Well now you can relive the fun and excitement with your very own Titanic water slide!

[Ayeka]

It's been raining here for the last two days

 

[Will Bozarth]

not me! i work 3 - 8 in a cold deli

 

[lizard]

my office is air conditioned and so is my home, so I just have to endure the grueling 1 1/2 mile commute, 'cause my car has no AC.

 

[lurch70]

1.5 miles? wow ... make sure you have a gallon of water with you

at 6:15 a.m. the only thing that can stop me is two red lights.

Today is quite nice, I drove home for lunch with the windows down even! It's in the lower 90's today, with almost a blue sky for a change.

 

[dorian gray]

Yellow Springs! that's hippie paradise, isn't it.

 

[MFJ]

I'm in New Hampshire for the week (Tuftonboro) and I must say, the temperature here is very pleasing. It's been about 75 with a cool breeze, and that's good enough for me.

 

[J.]

still hot as Hades down here, but at least we got some rain last night

east Columbus

Yellow Springs! that's hippie paradise, isn't it.

haha! yeps. believe me, the hippies get a bit irritating but it's a fantastic place to live. one of the last places in america that has a bonafide greenspace around it to keep out the walmarts and the strip malls. i've heard there are more phds per capita there than anywhere in the country. it's incredibly, absurdly expensive though. hence, the reason i dont live there anymore.

what do you think of c-bus?

 

[lurch70]

just got back home and it is so fucking goddamn humid outside, the interior of my car is actually slimy slick and wet ... fucking nasty.
looks bad again for the next few days.

 

[Conspicuously Absent]

we just had a cold wet spell and now it's getting hot again just in time to go back to work. oh. joy.

 

[Mormagil]

Here's to hoping the third time's the charm:

Yellow Springs is fucking awesome.

 

[lizard]

what do you think of c-bus?

I actually like it pretty much...I moved here from the monstrosity that is the Chicago area, so Columbus is much easier to get around, and much more affordable. Ideally I would prefer to live in northern New England but ... sometimes you have to adapt. I do wish there was some scenery here, tho.

 

[dorian gray]

german village is a pretty cool place to live. it's just south of downtown if you've never been.

what kind o' scenery are you talkin about?
