Fifty Degrees and I Call It Quits: One Raindrop Was All It Took

[tribdog]

It was freezing cold this morning while I was at work. I was getting set up when I felt a raindrop on the back of my neck. I turned to the guy I work with and said "that's one, two more and we leave right?" he said, "we can't work in a torrent like that."
He was cold too, we got two more raindrops and called it a day after only two hours work. The point I'm trying to make is this: I was freezing, teeth-chattering, snot-bubble COLD to the bone. It was between 50-55 degrees F.

Where do you work? I wish i could do that, don't think it ever gets quite that cold here though.

 

[tribdog]

that was +50 to +55 Degrees F.
Someone convert that for me.
lets see, 50+no - 32/mc^2+4!
that's what 194 C right?

To me that is a comfortable tempature but then I also lived where the tempature got down to -12 degrees F at night people where I am now all think I'm weird because I wear shorts and a T-shirt most of the time in similar tempatures.

Andy, it's roughly 10-13 degrees centigrade.

trib, you're a wimp, conditions inside my house are usually worse than that!

but they wouldn't seem worse because you'd be there.

Arizona tends to really thin the blood...i lived in Glendale for a year, came back up to Oregon, and haven't been able to get warm since...

[Andy]

You are a wimp, we've had it much colder than that at work before, do you work inside or outside?

 

[tribdog]

Would you believe I'm a refridgerator repairman?

Aren't you supposed to work on those from the outside?

I'm always too cold. The temperature here today is similar, and gray and rainy. Well, it's not really cold, but with the damp, I just want to burrow under a pile of blankets and go back to sleep today (having our dept Thanksgiving luncheon today didn't help...too much turkey). I used to think that's what men were good for, keeping you warm in bed, but then I got an electric blanket. Then again, I sleep with a comforter on the bed all summer long and only had air conditioning on for about a month. It's just my cold-blooded nature I suppose.

Not if 10-13 degrees C is too cold. wuss

I agree with the wimp comment. I used to make ice cream. I had to walk back and forth betwen the room with the ice cream making machines (which was usually around 105 degrees Fahrenheit) and the freezer where we put the finished ice cream (which was -40 degrees centigrade).

Hot and cold, plus having to walk back and forth between Fahrenheit and Centigrade - it was all very confusing.

It changes so much in England that you get used to it but I do not think it is as bad as some countries.

P.S. BobG, why can we only count up to 1,048,755 on our fingers and toes?

I know what you mean. I hate when I'm walking around in Fahrenheit then all of a sudden a gust of Centigrade blows up my skirt

What are you doing wearing a skirt? I think that's the first problem.

No, that's about half-way down the list of problems.

 

[tribdog]

What are you doing wearing a skirt?

it's either:

a)I'm exploring my sexuality

b)this rash is killing me and I can't wear any close fitting clothes.

c)My name's Duncan McCloud

d)I hate seeing my posts die, so I shoot for something that will get a response, so I can respond.

e)my bikini is at the cleaner's.

f)easy access

g)OMG! What happened to my pants.

LOL! that's what I like to see.

I vote a combination of e) and f).

Hmmm...
a and b are a bit off-putting. c...do immortals get rashes from laundry detergent? d...could be. e... f...now that's an interesting thought or g...yeah, that sounds about right

I think you mean to say that he has gone a little too far.
