Weather Swings.

I work in a cooler, and then have to go attend to the ovens. In other words, I am constantly shifting between hot and cold. And it does terrible things to your body. I have a lot of pain all over my body when I get off of work. Not to mention I currently have a sinus infection.

It was kind of sweet when we had time off, but I was in the middle of my GCSEs at the time, and holy fuck there is no experience quite so draining on body and mind as three straight hours sat in an exam hall marinating in your own perspiration.

Here in Arizona one day there was a day when temperatures reached around 48˚C. I remember my air conditioner broke down, the ice cream machines broke down all over town, and people were literally sitting in bathtubs, with gallons of warm water all around. (I don't remember people dying, but then, I was like six.) It was pretty terrible.

How ya doing, buddy?
