5:01 PM 17/08/2008 - Hot hot hot weather
The weather has been crazy hot for the last 2 to 3 weeks here in AB, Canada. By crazy hot I mean over 30c for more than a few days in a row. This level of heat is just above what I can handle while still feeling comfortable at home. The optimum temperature for being comfortable is obviously -30c! I say that because we have heating throughout the apartment building which means you have a wide range of temperature to choose from at that point.
I really honestly do not understand people that say "I love this weather!!!" when it's this hot. How??? How can you possibly enjoy being covered in sweat constantly, sticking to everything, not sleeping, not being able to breathe one breath of fresh air and dreading the morning when you have to use your hairdryer? It may seem like I'm just moaning but it's more utter confusion as opposed to just wanting to complain. Bring me winter when the ground is covered in piles of snow, there's a blizzard and you're rubbing your hands and gripping your toes just to keep warm while waiting at the bus stop! Ha ha, well maybe not the latter... Last winter I had the unfortunate chance of being stuck at a bus stop with no shelter, a blizzard, -40c outside and the bus didn't show up for another HOUR.
One good little gadget that I got recently from work is meant to help me out with this crazy weather that Canada offers. Well, it's not really for that purpose but it will be for me considering I use public transport. It's a VPN Token to allow me to work at home. I had it all working Friday, but then of course something's happened and it hasn't worked for the rest of the weekend... I am hoping to get that sorted tomorrow! It's pretty great - now I can access my e-mails, work-only websites, and even remote access my desktops. Now when the temperature does reach that around -20c mark, I have the oppurtunity to stay at home in the warm and watch the blizzards from indoors all cozy. An office working, public transit users paradise.
I have just uploaded a bunch of new stuff to my Hello Kitty and Stationery Collections that I have been meaning to add for quite some time but of course never got around to it. The stars signify that the items on the pages are new (yay for my new star system!). Also, take a look at the new Dolores pic I uploaded - can you find the hamster?!
