What's shakin?

So I come into my office this morning and the thermostat is set to 90 degrees. No joke. I didn't even realize that it could go that high, but apparently it can. The weird thing is that I was the first person in the office so I have no idea who set it that high. Oh and also, ten minutes later, someone put a giant sign on the thermostat that said "If you want it hot and humid, move to Florida." Haha.

What's up with you ladies today?

90 degrees?! Oof, I would die, my boss would never hear the end of it. He tolerates me constantly bumping the thermostat down to 60 when I get in. I love the sign, though.

I'm spending the day cleaning my apartment before I head off to my second job. My parents are coming to see our new place this weekend and to bring us some furniture. I have been hating life without a coffee table. SO just throws his stuff on the floor or the kitchen table, it kills me. My full time job starts back up next wekk and I am so ready, I hate not having anything to do all day. The animals will probably miss me,

Yeah, luckily the temperature was actually only 77, but still, that's hot.

Yay for furniture! We just moved last August and I swear we went to Ikea every weekend for months before we got everything we needed lol.

All we have is beat up furniture since our current place is kind of a transition apartment. We're pinching pennies in a tiny place for the next year so we can get a nicer place next year and pay off school loans. But I'm definitely all "yay for furniture" because we have no coffee table and our boxspring didn't fit up the stairs so we sleep on a mattress on the floor. I feel like I'm still in college and I hate hate hate it.

I did go Ikea crazy and bought 2 pot racks (the kitchen is itty bitty) and 2 giant book cases. and a bunch of little things. I'm hoping to aquire a bed frame, new tv and new laptop in the next 3 months. The bed thing just makes me feel gross. (Rant about my crappy bed over)

Yikes I'd die. I hate when it's hot inside..AC is my best friend.

Happy 1 month mark!

wow 90 is hot.  Tomorrow my carpet should finally be installed, yay I'm so excited.  This week has been exhausting mostly from work, but a co-worker of mine is back from vacation so the work load will be less stressful going forward. 

I have rehearsal tonight so it will be another late night for me.

My office is really strange in that it totally depends where you are whether you are hot or not. I'm always pretty comfortable though.

Yay for new furniture! I'll have plenty of furniture to acquire after my move to my new house in May, but really just need a new couch!

Peaseblossom55

My office is always so cold I have to wear long sleeves in the summer or have my space heater on. 

One month moocow you must be so excited!!!!

ICK 90 degrees!! Did it actually get that high? Dang!

I am on my first prep at work (I am a teacher) and clearly I am not "prepping." I need a moment to get my head back on after 25 teenagers walk out my door. Quiet time now

Listening to bright eyes and cleaning desks. 

Seeing Book of Mormon tonight in the city with my sister (who is visiting from NC) Can't wait!!

Peaseblossom55

So jealous irish rose BF & I have been dying to see that.  Let me know how you like it.  Have you listened to the soundtrack at all?  It's completely offensive and hysterical at the same time.

It's freezing in my office right now, and I don't have access to a thermostat to change it. :

And that colon is supposed to be a sad face. I always forget that this damn mobile site hates parentheses.

If the thermostat is set to 90, that just means that the AC won't kick on until it gets to that temperature inside, which is usually more efficient than completely turning it off.  I never set it up quite that high (ours is timed to go up to 85 during the day when we aren't home, and vise versa at night for when no one is at the office) and then we normally keep it at 77 or 78 when people are there.

Of course, my office sucks in that I apparently sit under one of the only AC vents in our office, so even though it's set at 77, it blows full blast on me so that I'm freezing (you seriously cross the threshhold into my area and it's like 15 degrees cooler than the rest of the building).

<div>Please tell me what you think! I want to see it so bad. MY BFF lives in NYC and said it was awesome. </div><div>
</div><div>On the whole 90 degrees thing: My mom has the AC set at their house to only turn on when it hits <strong>92 degrees</strong>. In Houston. In the summer. (ETA: At all hours of the day, not just when no one was home.) Half the time it was hotter inside than it was outside. When I lived at home, she would b!itch my dad and I out ALL THE TIME for changing the AC to a bearable temp (we put it at 78). That was one of my breaking points that pushed me to take out student loans and move out. She still b!itches at my dad when he "messes" with the thermostat. </div><div>
</div><div>Elle, I share an AC unit with a kindergarten class. They move around all the time, so they keep it at 70. The first thing I do in the mornings is put on my sweatshirt I keep in the office. </div>

My condo is on the second floor and it gets so ridiculously hot in the summer. Luckily my body temperature gets cold pretty quickly so I don't need to keep the thermostat as high, but my electric bills in the summer are triple what they are in the winter.

I wanna see Book of Mormon so. badly.

It's just two days before we go on vacation, and I'm so happy about that! This week has been INSANE at work now that we have another nurse on maternity leave. Yesterday, I had the excitement of a patient's tumor, which is large enough that it has developed its own intense vasculature, bled everywhere. We were taking a series of baseline pictures of it and it started absolutely gushing. Blood all over her back, all over the chair, dripped through the chair onto the floor... it was horrifying. And the thing's infected and necrotic, so the smell....... the smell .

So yes. Vacation.

mookow86

stillwell- ewww. Sounds like you definitely need a vacation. Woohoo!

Also, I'm pretty sure that the heat was on in my office this morning because it was definitely not hot enough outside to be 77 degrees in here.

And yes, one month to go!! Yikes. Gotta start hunting down the people who haven't RSVP'd. Grr.

My office has been freezing this week (not the whole building, just my office), but I'm working from home today, so it doesn't matter. If it's still cold next week, I'll complain.

I get to hop on a plane at 7am tomorrow for a one day business trip. The sad part is it will be 54 and raining where I'm going (Seattle) and 86 and sunny at home. I think I'm missing the first 80-degree day of the year!

Mookow!!  FI and I finally got to eat your caramel and OMG!!! A-MAZ-ING!  So good!  It's like eating a carameled apple without the apple!  We worship your caramel making skills!  FI asked me 5 times if I had gotten the recipe!  Your guests are going to love it!
90 sounds terrible.

Today is a bad day.  I woke up late for work, forgot to take the trash out for the trucks (luckily my dad did it.  Got to love that guy), my brother is having surgery on his hand and may not again full mobility in his finger again, and I am either on the verge of tears or about to fall asleep.  I need a break.  Sigh, not happening. 

Peaseblossom55

Sorry your having a bad day.  I hope everything works out ok for your brother!

ravenray

Aw thanks Danser. 

PhotoDerby

msuprincess- I'm jealous, I'd love a new couch but SO spoils the dog/cats and they are allowed all over the furniture so it just never seems worth it to buy a nice new couch.

ravenray- I hope things go well with your brother! I am a wreck when any of my family members get injured/ill.

mookow86

raven- Aw, glad you liked the caramels! Hope your day turns around and that your brother's surgery goes well.

irishrose54

I will definitely let you know how the show is!! I am going with my sister and my BF is uber jealous but my sis had the tix so I can't bring him. He has class anyway so I don't feel TOO bad lol.

Can't waiiiitttt. Counting the time until I can leave work.
