Default How hot?

How hot does it have to be on the client's site before you consider wearing shorts?



p.s. try avoiding typing 'hot' into google image search when you're using your client's computers

Use it as an excuse to work from home. In the garden. With a lager.

I was quite bullish about today's weather. I thought "this isn't bad!"

Until midday.

Luckily it's raining now, so might be a bit better tomorrow.

(Or not)

It's not too bad at the minute. But I'm waiting for midday onwards again....

We need a melting smiley. I thought today wasn't too bad, just stepped outside (and without the benefit of air conditioning) and OH MY GOD!

Closest I've got to a 'fan' motion --->

Luckily some of us haven't started our new roles yet



However, this was the temperature on my car thermometer

We're great at this weather game, aren't we? We moan when it's too hot, we moan when it's too cold.

My weather forecase for Friday says rain. At first I thought "great!"

...but I'm sure we'll all be moaning about the rain soon.
