RITA'S CXLIII: You’re Gonna Have to Serve Somebody

[Vibranium]

hahahaha...awesome

[jessecuster3]

You think you are crazy?

[Jeff Brady]

Yeah, my fear of heights kicked in so badly just watching that. I'd need about five different safety ropes to do that.

I don't have a fear of heights, but I'd be so damn scared to even consider anything like that. Just not an adrenaline junkie.

[Jeff Brady]

Santa hates delivering presents to Portland.

Also, my house.

(But there's no fucking way we'd use raisins. Chocolate chip ONLY.)

Santa demands beer and sausage at my house.

[Slam_Bradley]

Oh man, it is so slow here today! Monday is going to be even worse, its taking forever.

Everyone is busy watching the Cubs and the Sox.

Everyone is busy watching the Cubs and the Sox.

Chicago is basically shut down in fear of non-existent protesters.

Sometimes it's just not comfortable to work at my job during the summertime. It's gorgeous outside, but the temperature inside the building is 66-68°F...always. I understanding the reasoning, but I kiiiinda wish I could wear Snuggie to work.

That's a little warmer than I like it. But not too bad.

My ex is on the phone with HGTV right now discussing a possible TV show for himself.

A little warmer than you like? Damn.

The temperature is more like 64-67°F, actually. It's a bit of a shock to the system to go from 65-67° to 75-100° during the summertime.

Pretty much everyone here keeps a jacket or sweater permanently at their desk, and we're only a 72 degree constant.

One of the funniest things here at work was when it opened, the atrium had this beautiful set of palm trees, and many tropical plants planted for eye-candy. The tropical plants were constantly dying off, and the palm trees, though they stoically held off for many years, finally succumbed as well. They never did look all that great after we opened, and gradually started to look REALLY bad. The landscape people who were in charge of the plants FINALLY concluded that the plants just needed a bit more humidity and decided that the best thing would be to install a humidifier in the atrium to help the next bunch of plants along.

The building manager got a great kick out of that. I can hear him telling them now:

"You *do* realize that this is a huge mainframe computer facility don't you? The kind with over 2 dozen 1-ton floor to ceiling dehumidifiers installed per floor operating so as to keep the humidity to a bare minimum?"

The next bunch of plants planted in the atrium had some resilience to lack of humidity. (though they are still tropical and not really looking all that healthy)

That's how it is over here for most people. Scarves, sweaters, light jackets in offices.

The *one* time the temperature went up to 68, a few folks complained and said it was too warm. Since then, the highest it can go is 66/67.
