It's the middle of summer. I wore a sweater-dress to work. I've just put another sweater on over it.

In my next life, I want to be an actual warm-blooded mammal and not a human-shaped reptile.

Far better than me, with my strange metabolism. (If my metabolism is this overactive, shouldn't I be burning *calories* and thus not be fat?) For me, it's a matter of keeping cool enough. I'd far rather be laughed at for throwing on a sweater in summer, all things considered. ;)

I don't mind the sweater, at all. It's the huddling under a blanket and breathing on my fingers as I try to work that gets to me. And my feet fall asleep after a while of sitting on them to keep them warm, too.

Well then! Obviously, you and Lut need to move to Florida. =)

Thing is, Florida's actually worse, from what I recall. My problem is with the weather INSIDE, not outside. I need to live -- or rather, WORK -- somewhere that's not overly airconditioned. Florida ain't it. :)

Well, that all depends on where the thermostat is set. Northern visitors accuse us Floridians of having our "blood thinned out," because we don't set the thermostat low enough. (I'm obviously not thin enough, because it's generally not low enough for my liking, either. ;) ) But I suppose the bottom line is a matter of comparing humidity and temperature. I don't exactly have useful numbers for humidity. For temperature, 76 degrees is a typical setting on the thermostat. (At home, it's more like 78 degrees.)

Now, if that is still cold for you, then, well, I admit defeat! ;)

OK, I'll admit that 76 - 78 would probably be warm enough for me. :)

But when I worked at IBM in Florida, my office was like an icebox. I usually ate my lunch outside so I could thaw out -- I prefered the summer time Florida outdoor temperature to the A/C inside. Think about that. :)
