I remember that humidity - I went to Disney World once. It was like stepping into a swimming pool every time I opened the front door...

You're not going to believe this but I'm applying to work for Disney. I'll let you know if I get it. Anyone else here from Florida?

As I can recall, my one trip to Florida wasn't too bad. It was in March, and the humidity difference between here and there was jarring at first but not hard to get used to as NB gets rather humid in the summer as well.

From FL? No. I did use to live there though. I lived in Pensacola, FL from 1994 - 1998. Although it's been about two years since I was last there doing some work in Orlando.

Orlando's where I was. It somehow felt like >100% humidity...I mean it gets so humid here a cool glass of soda taken outside sweats buckets, but *oi* that was bad.

Yeah, it's grim- our local power monopoly is going to screw us for an additional 17% hike. They know that living without air-conditioning would be very bad and can get away with it though...

The heating companies around here do that during the winter.
I hate the late spring weather here. It was 89F this afternoon, and is currently 39F. It is like mother nature is having a midlife crisis, and can't decide if it is spring or summer. Tomorrow's weather calls for 80% humidity, and a high of 92 friggin degrees.

I love seeing you guys complain about how hot or cold it is.
92f = 33c = actually pretty comfortable for me. It does get annoying when people call me a cold blooded freak sometimes. They're just mad that I won't join them in complaining about how hot it is in an air conditioned building.

I know how you feel but the opposite. I like the cold, so people are bitching that they're "freezing" when it's 50F and I'm fine in a t-shirt, or that I have my heat set "way too low" at 62.

I hate when people complain about the cold too. I don't like it but I can tolerate it.
Most people in Canada are fine with a t-shirt in 10 degree weather. It's winter that kills you at like -45. I can't handle that.

I love the cold. I can't sleep at night if my room is above 50F. And, I don't mind hot days that aren't muggy and humid. I just don't like when it fluxuates so fast, or when it is hot when it should be cold, or cold when it should be hot.

Almost certainly - assuming they hire me!

The office I work in has what we call "Thermostat Wars". I and a fellow co-worker are in offices that get no cross ventilation and have west-facing windows. Both of us like it cool. We have this idiot woman in our office that is always cold in the dead of summer. If she had her way, we'd have the heat on when its 70 degrees outside. The thermostat for our section is between my office and my co-worker and right across from the kitchenette. So the idiot is always 'washing her cup', then there's this pause and you hear the 'click click click' of her turning the office thermostat up to 77F or higher. Typically this will mean our two offices will be about 80-82F. So we go right behind her and crank it down to 70. This goes on all summer and she gets mad at us for not respecting the fact that she's cold. Forget the fact that she dresses in flimsy almost see-through crap (NOT a good thing) and we have to wear long sleeve shirts and slacks. We're wrong for not acquiescing to her widdle feewings. She expects us to accommodate her. She firmly believes that the 'average office temperature is supposed to be 78F'. But she also corrected our personnel director telling him that his use of the word 'grammatically' was wrong....that the word was 'grammoricly'. This to an individual who was an English major and worked in the public school system for 20 years. Then she wonders why she isn't respected? Total, complete, IDIOT.
My theory is: You can always put more clothes on, but there's only so much you can take off...legally.
