Hottest Day in 5 years

Its supposed to get up to mid to high 90's today.  Yesterday reached 96.  Lets just say, I never appreciated how close I live to the EL until now.  Having that 2 minute walk was a blessing.

Anyway, so Dog normally goes to Doggy Day Care on Wednesdays.  Seeing as how yesterday was 96, and today was going to be just as hot, I was a bit concerned that it would be too hot for him.  Dog gets to sit in air conditioning during the day at home (spoiled, I know).  But walks are pretty rough for him since he has such a dark coat (he heats up very fast in the sun).  We can go on a 20 min walk, and at the end of it, he is panting like crazy just do to the heat.  I feel bad for him.

So, since I pay about $25 for day care, I didn't really want him to be so warm that he hardly moves.  The whole point of day care, for him, is to get energy out.  So yesterday I called the day care place asking if the dogs were going to be outside today.  They told me that they were going to be inside, and it generally doesn't get hotter than 80 degrees due to the 30 foot ceilings.  Then they told me that they can give doggy breaks if we are concerned with overheating.  I told him I think that would be a good idea.

So at 7:15 this morning, I dropped Dog off at day care.  The employee takes Dog's leash and says "Hi Dublin!" Looks to me and says "How many breaks would you like?"  I laugh, awkwardly and say "Wow, you remember me from the phone?"  He kinda looks at me like I've grown a third arm. I've been taking Dog to Doggy Day care for a few months, probably some time in March we started.  But the day care place has as many as 50 dogs show up (Just on Wednesday!).  So I figured I sort of blended in with the rest.  Unfortunately, I don't, and I think I now have the growing reputation of "the youngest crazy dog lady."

Its way too hot in this office

Alright, whoever decided to ventilate this building was retarded.  Seriously.  I currently work on the East side of the building, and it is like a freaking boiler in here for the majority of the day.  I swear it is approximately 85 degrees in here.  What happened to offices being a freezing 65 degrees? I would give just about anything for that.  You can always put on more clothes, but I can only (legally) take off so many.

I'm very close to buying a personal fan to have in the office.  I don't know if I can deal with sweating due to the morning sun all summer.  It is now after 3 PM and it feels like the air just kicked on and they are finally blowing cool air.  Don't get me wrong, I'm sure the air was on previously, but they should realize that the sun will always rise in the east, and having a wall of windows facing the east is probably going to boil the employees alive. 

If whoever designed the building were smart, they would have different thermostats for different sections of the building.  Unfortunately, I don't think our building designers were that intelligent. 

The worst part of it all??? I (along with the rest of my east facing co-workers) have to suffer.
