    It's 87 degrees F in the office, up from 82 when I first got here about 30 minutes ago. It's 6:52 am and the sun isn't even up yet. It's suppose to be 95 today.

      Well, they are not allowed to have their employees work in a sweltering office. Does the state you live in have laws which cover that issue? If so, you might be able to play that card to work from home today... ;)

          I can also just opt to take a vacation day since I've turned in my 2-week notice. Whatever vacation I don't use I won't get paid for anyway. :) We're in Texas, so I doubt there are any heat-related employment laws beyond "Cowboy up or move to Oklahoma."

                                  They didn't give me any questions like that at all. I was kind of surprised...

                                    Houston is recognized as the San Francisco of Texas. Beyond that, there's nothing wrong with Houston that isn't also wrong with San Antonio, Austin, or Dallas. And no, I'm not from Dallas.

                                      We're looking at 96 with high humidity, making the "real feel" temp at 104, here in upperstate NY. Marc

                                      But I bet your A/C works... It's 94 in the office right now.

                                        Actually, I haven't put the AC in the window this year, and am trying to avoid doing so. We'll see what this month brings though.

                                          It's 87 degrees F in the office, up from 82 when I first got here about 30 minutes ago. It's 6:52 am and the sun isn't even up yet. It's suppose to be 95 today.
