The AC is so strong in my office (I have a request to the building management to fix it) that I have to bundle up.
How about this:
You know it's freezing in your office when:
(a) you have to chug your hot coffee because it will frost over in 5 minutes

b) You have both a sweater and a pair of slippers to wear every single day work, but still have to periodically go outside to warm up.

c) Many of your colleagues are not as tolerant of the cold at work, so they have been forced to buy (and use) space heaters. They think you're creazy that you don't have one.

There was just a weather advisory here about the heat...

d) when you go out to lunch you don't use the AC in the car or roll the windows down thinking you can build up some body heat

I dont like days where you can actually "see" the pea soup air.
Air should not be seen or felt. it should just be.
Dear Mother Nature,
please get to work on this circa: Pronto!

Drove home for lunch; on the way back saw a sign thermometer that read: 105!

every town I see seems to have the bank in town that has the big huge visible-from-the-road time and temp displays - I find entertainment in this in that most of the temp gauges have long since been fried out and are a good 10 degrees more than they should be
Its kind of like the commerce equivalent to the widespread domestic issue of the vcr that flashes 12:00 (although that is not as prevalent now that people DVR things in HD with their Blu Ray players, but I digress...)

There are three or four of them on my drive every day...I need to get one for my house, in the front and back since the house faces East.

My new Celsius to Farenheit conversion technique is unstoppable:
C * 2 + 30 = F
Everything is cooler in Celsius, so, don't sweat the 105, think of it 37.5!
(I expect my eurocentric thinking to be worn off in other 4-5 days, sorry)

Not sweating so much now, since the winds and rains have cooled us off for a few days. Now we're just picking up the tree limbs and replanting our shrubbery. Wish I had a fireplace to burn all my new kindling from the poplars out front.

...you go to the barber and tell him to take all your hair off

One of the remedies I've been contemplating.

-you want a job (for free, even) @ 10 D's office
-yr legs stick to the chair in yr office
-3 showers in one day just dont cut it
-thinking of cooking anything in the kitchen (which is usually quite enjoyable IMHO)repulses you
-have become an expert at making iced coffee the night before work, knowing yr broken ass air conditioning in the Ford Fuckus will be giving you the finger throughout your oh so beautiful tour of the formerly beloved Matthew Amorello's Mass Turnpike
-you have to turn the radio, tv, etc way way up to compete with the noise made from all the fans
