damn right i'm hot!

my coworkers think i'm weird: i haven't turned on my A/C yet. i don't see the point, not yet anway.

  • first off, it's not that hot. it 90 today. i can handle that.

  • tomorrow it will be warmer and more humid, but it'll be cooling off by thursday, so i can't justify cranking on the A/C only to shut it off in two days.

  • i' get pretty good breezes through my house, with a ceiling fan in the kitchen and a oscillating fan in the bedroom to help

  • i'm cheap, and i don't like having to pay for the electricity needed to run my air

  • it's good for my weight loss; if i'm hot, i'm less likely to eat (or eat a lot), and i drink lots of water to help keep cool


yes, come july or august when it's sticky hot, i'll turn it on, but i don't leave it on any longer than necessary, and i keep it up rather warm. if i'm cold in my house, the it needs to be adjusted.

I'll resist the obvious pun implied by your subject line.

And way to go for resisting the a/c! I've got mine cranked, I'm afraid, but I've also got all windows closed, due to SEVERE hay-fever this year. Not only are you saving yourself money, you're saving precious resources of the earth! You didn't even know you were being an environmentalist.

I'd rather open the window and not use the A/C myself, but Mark has allergies. It's frustrating.

Besides it is your place, and if you are comfortable do what you want :)
