can't really complain, since i'm a paper pusher in an air conditioned office right now. although, when i was working my way through college i worked at a power plant as summer help. they had us do all of the crap work (surprisingly) and one of the jobs was cleaning out the seventh floor of the power station........which was the boiler room floor where the coal dust conveyors came in. you had to wear every type of personal protection available, goggles, respirator, ear plugs (it was LOUD) hard hat, paper suit, gloves, you name it. all in 110-115 degree temperatures. was fun, especially when you blew your nose at the end of the day and black stuff came out.

right now, i'm loathing leaving work because i have my muay thai class tonight and the weather report says its 110 with humidity here in pa. we practice in an upstairs room with, of course, no ac or fans.
