[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I grew up in Alabama, remember? But the only places I've ever lived without AC are Seattle and Bristol. And I'm angling for a window unit once we buy the house, just so I'll be able to sleep in comfort during our rare bouts of 80's and 90's.

Aren't you from the South? Aren't people from the South supposed to give a withering stare to someone who thinks that 85 is impossibly hot? The same look I give to native Californians who tell me 30 degrees is cold (after I lived in Buffalo for 8 years)?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

6 years in Montreal and 9 in Michigan. 30 degrees is way too cold.
Unless you mean centigrade.

The key word is "without AC." And I've always hated hot weather, though I tolerated it better back when I lived where we had months of it every year.

Heat in Seattle is harder to deal with than hotter heat in places that are set up for it. It's a thing.

Can I ask for a little favor from the universe? I know I've used up an awful lot the last week, but I'd really like one more.
Could people stop making "little clerical errors" that REALLY FUCK UP MY LIFE???
Turns out this job doesn't come with health insurance.

Oh, shit, vw. That sucks. Did they explain to you how the mistake happened?

The person I'm replacing has health insurance, so the girl that interviewed me assumed I would, so she told me so. Well, it turns out that he's working 25 hours a week (over the 20-hour minimum), and since I'm only working 15 (under the 20-hour minimum), I'm not eligible.

That's an awful big little error.
Being that my workplace often has California people coming out, they tend to think that temperatures in the 90s are okay, but they get wilted by the insane humidity.
