Heat Makes Me Stupid

I'm absolutely convinced my day job is setting out to reduce employee costs. While all companies do this, my day job has stepped up a level by having the heaters keep the temperature at roughly 95 degress all day. I suspect that as people wilt, melt, and generally go away, the University can hope everyone will use up their sick/vacation time and then!! People will not get paid when they go home hot! (Lately I'm very much a fan of misplaced exclaimation points. And periods.)

My wee office has a wee window, which I open all the way as soon as I arrive. By the end of the day of having freezing air combating the radiator, it's a balmy 80 degrees in my office.

Anyway, the absolute worst part of this is that the bathrooms are warm like sauna (big like bear). And while I seriously wouldn't mind a cold toilet seat by then, the heat just makes the bathrooms smell more...bathroomy. It's gross. So now I pee like a race horse (very fast as opposed to just on my way somewhere) and hold my breath. And I worry this is all part of the plan. By holding my breath, I could become dizzy, knock myself out, use up my sick/vacation days and then!!

Moral of today's story: hot bathrooms are a boring topic. Again, my moral is more of a fact.
