It is 19 degrees here now.

People (not me) were complaining that the section of the office where I sit was noticeably colder than the rest of the office, so now they're twiddling with the controls to try to get this section warm. I'm happier with it being cooler, but a number of other people are seriously uncomfortable.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I was there one year in late June and foolishly didn't pack anything with long sleeves. I came home with a new sweatshirt.
Sounds like my August trip to SF one year! I have to confess, at the time I was really happy with the break from summer. This is why I live in a temperate climate! I like the variety!

I remember one summer when SF actually got warm, DavidS commenting that the tourists in their shorts and t-shirts were actually comfortable instead of freezing and having to enrich the local economy by buying sweaters and such.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Chicago in the spring/summer is generally gorgeous.
SF weather, I can't deal with. Why can't you hippie freaks have your seasons at the same time as the rest of us?

My one trip to Chicago in the summer was in July and it was incredibly hot and humid.
When we went to SF a couple summers ago (in August), it was super cool and damp (which we'd packed for) but then when we drove up to Santa Rosa, I had to buy new shoes because all I had were boots and it was quite warm and sunny. Gorgeous weather!

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
right now, a temperature where all I need as outerwear is a sweatshirt sounds great.
Beckons invitingly to Steph from San Diego, where temps have been in the 70s this week. Brandishes Peanut Butter Bacon Burger from Corvette Diner to make it even more attractive...

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Weird cognitive dissonance knowing how cold it is everywhere else in the country.

OMG Jessica you made me laugh!
Okay I really need to buckle down and get to work. Which may call for coffee STAT!

Hahaha!
The sky outside my window is really gorgeous right now, but in a subtle way that I bet wouldn't show on a phone picture.

We've put down the blinds to try to warm up the office, so now it is freezing and DARK.
I would be so disconcerted to live in a place without seasons. Or in a place with Wrong Seasons (like Australia. Summer in December? NOOOOO!)
