This is what happens when the boss is really, really cheap...

[Cheeseheadbob]

Hey guys, just thought I would share my misery. This is a real, unedited, although poor quality photo, of the thermostat in my office area. It is the temperature inside, not outside, at 1455 today. I work in manufacturing, but my office is not in the back with the burners, motors, blenders, etc. Boss is too cheap to install a lowered ceiling to make A/C feasible. If I didn't make so much money here, I would consider calling OSHA on his behind.

Be happy your indoors! Nothing says hot like laying under a truck that came in off the road and needs work done.

[Egon Spengler]

Wow... I would be out of there! F-that!!!

[ROB502]

SC 104 on my shaded porch. Now at 3:30 it's a cool 102. Has seen it as high as 108 already this year and NOT even hot yet. Last year same open air porch got to 114. :eek:

exactly....

Summertime heat is the no-work solution to losing weight.
Id be happy!

[justbob]

Sorry Cheese, I just can't feel for you at all here. I work in the sun, rain, snow and ice in all temps. I think I actually enjoy breaking frost with a pick axe more than shoveling a trench for my pipes in the 90's blazing sun.

I feel like such a wimp (I would type another word for wimp, but decorum dictates otherwise) for posting this. Perhaps I will go roll around in the mulch beds outside with no shirt on and then crawl under my car and change the oil. After that, maybe a quick trip up to the roof to patch the seams with some nice boiling tar... Yeah, that's the ticket... After I finish, I will repost with some more manly material... I forgot that I was posting on a Marauder site, not the Cadillac CTS forums...:D

Too funny Bob, were just bustin your chops!:D

[Joe Walsh]

Awww....Quit yer whining and send me some of that vanilla extract!....:D

BTW: You can work in my air conditioned garage...I keep it at a nice dehumidified 80 degrees.

[SpartaPerformance]

Out in a shop, under cars in the humidity sucks sweaty b$lls so I don't feel for you either. As long as you allowed to bring in a fan and are not prohibited from leaving your station to get a glass of water then nobody can do anything, all an employer is required to supply is heating for the winter months. :( Sucks but such is life.

[boatmangc]

Yeah I'm not feelin it either, try working on a boat with a heat index of 100+ in the sun, I had a heat stroke in this crap 2 years ago and almost again 2 weeks ago.
I go through at least 1 1/2 gallons of water every day just to survive.
Great way to stay skinny!

[Big Black Beast]

I sit at a desk in a nice, air conditioned office, if that helps any.;)

yup i hate you lol

[mrjones]

Years ago, after my wife and I got married, we moved back to the small country town I grew up in. We ran into an old HS friend, and caught up for a few minutes. He said, "I got me a good job - working in the air-conditioning" My wife asked what the hell that meant. I said, "It means you've never had a job NOT working in the air-conditioning!"

[RoyLPita]

I work in a warehouse where the a/c is 2 loud and rickity fans.

[MM03MOK]

Bob, the least he could do is let you wear a tank top, cut-offs and sandals! Not the way you really want to lose weight, sweating all over your paperwork. Suggest they set up a mocktail bar with lots of frozen drinks and all your neat Parker flavours!!

[guspech750]

I dont care how hot or how cold it is. I love drilling wells and working outdoors.

[PonyUP]

Fixed it For Ya

[DEFYANT]

FWIW,

I ran across two huge hot parking lots today, while ducking and weaving behind parked cars, after a "bad" guy only to find out - wrong guy! Amazing no one call the police on me! lol

[offroadking208]

lol, i work outside all day (street department) and it gets HOOOOT standing over fresh asphalt while you smash it down. you know it's hot when you step out of the truck and stick to the tar on the surface of the road ;)

Or how about Naked Fridays?
Oh, wait. That's probably a bad idea...

[Bigdogjim]

Well try driving down the highway with 50 people and no A/C on a tour bus when it 95+ inside and remember you can not roll down the windows:)

Yeah life sucks somedays..............

[Mote]

Here's a good job for ya; Several years ago the street I live on got new storm sewers, curbs, and asphalt. It did not have curbs/storm sewers prior, so this a complete tear apart and build. When the last layer of asphalt was laid down I stood out by the street and watched. 95 degree July day. Not a cloud in the sky. The giant asphalt truck lumbered slowly, gushing real hot asphalt. One guy caught my attention - His job was to walk about 10 feet behind the truck with a shovel, tamping the fresh super hot asphalt tight against the curb apron. Long heavy pants. Big thick-soled work boots. Holy Hannah he must have baked!

[rayjay]

Pretty soon I won't care what the weather is :D As for the heat, we freeze our butts off 6 months out of the year here, I don't complain too much about the heat this time of year.

I always wonder about those poor guys, and the guys who have to slop hot tar on roofs in this weather.
Besides the un-godly heat....breathing all those fumes must be like smoking 10 cartons of cigarettes a day!

Worst I've ever done was lifting, lugging, loading and stacking hay bails in the loft of a barn in 95 degree heat.
Sweatin', swearin' and sneezin' like a MOFO!
First, we had to stand under the broiling sun, in the trailer as the bailer would shoot hay bails back towards us.....
you had to be 'heads up' at all times....:bricks:
Then you had to unload the bails from the trailer, load them on the conveyer to the loft and finally stack them in the 120 degree loft.
That one day convinced me that I'd NEVER want to be a farmer!

There...now I'm done whining! I think I'll go get a cold beer! :beer:

[massacre]

As a welder I weal long-sleeve shirts and heavy duty Carrhart pants no matter how hot it is out.

Lol! We used to put up about 15,000 square bales per year. My Dad bought his first round baler in 1985 ($25,000!! ) and that was one of the happiest days of my life. Being inside the barn wasn't too bad until it began to fill up. Then you got pretty close to the tin roof. Of course there was no wind inside the barn either..

I know how it feels, but if it's not behind a tamper proof glass, then it will be tampered with... Ahhhhhhh, 69 degress!

[BLACKMARAUDER04]

Sorry to hear about the heat. Here in Sunny Southern California, its been very mild so far. We are in the San Fernando Valley and its only gotten into the low 90's or mid 80's. We haven't had a real heat wave yet.

[Cheeseheadbob]

Hey, I think that thermometer in in KPH degrees, so that means it is only about 90 mph degrees there...:P
