Pouring coffee on myself
It's hot in Kansas right now. Not the hottest temperature ever experienced by humanity, but hot. It's been hot for awhile. It's going to be hot for the foreseeable future. Here's the problem. To combat the heat, the building management has turned the air conditioning down to about 2 kelvin. It's beyond freezing in here. To delay the onset of hypothermia, I've taken to pouring hot coffee on myself. I had a fire going in the cubicle next to me, but it froze. My coworkers are all getting freezer burn. Fortunately, I'm naturally more insulated than most. I'm counting on that to get me through the next 6 -7 hours before I can get out of here. I'm now contemplating survival scenarios...

Being that hot outside and making it extremely cold inside is just a recipe to get sick. We had the same issue when I was in Vegas and the temp was 115-120F outside. Start a riot and yell FIRE!!

I thought of doing that just to lure the meat closer. I'm thinking it may be time to recreate the survival scene from Alive.

Some of the systems out here in the east were not really designed for more than 95F. Getting up above that they start to loose capacity and effectiveness...so if the system in your building can do that at over 100F the engineering is pretty good. Time does tend to slow down at 2 kelvin though. If it gets much colder than that you might be reading this again tomorrow in a time warp. I doubt you will remember reading it though.I have had a good coffee shower and they are not too bad if you use caffinated.The de caff. tended to dry my extemities out. I would hunt down the thermostat gestapo and maybe try to convince them that you are not like hung meat.

[Note to self: Marketing has a slightly "gamey" flavour. Accountants taste like chicken.] I only use caffinated coffee in my coffee-showers. No cream, no sugar, served black and steaming. The rubber ducky who tells me what to do likes his that way, too.

Now that sounds dangerous. I tried some of that Capsaicin ointment on my elbow to relieve pain. It didn't do a thing for the pain, but it distracted me by adding a burning sensation on my arm!

Bubba, I was sincerely trying to help you thaw out your situation here, but it seems like some others are trying to admit you into the E.R. I know how you're IV intollerant (unless the infusion is becan grease), and suggesting such preposterous advice can only be detrimental to your health.
