Backwards to a Foreword

I started these writings with the intent of making mostly comedic style social observations. But opinions are like arseholes- everyone's got one- and as if often the way- the original intent is not what has eventuated, as the darker side of my mind has been very much in control lately.

All my writings are essentially a point of view or recollections of lived experiences. As with witness statements, which are not admissible as evidence in court due to the high rate of inaccuracy- sometimes what I feel, think or remember won't be the same as other people who may have been present for the same events.

They are my thoughts, feelings and memories, and may not necessarily represent those of people represented in them.

Things that shit me- #14 Over air-conditioning

Ah airconditioning... a wonderful luxury of modern life. So why is it that when it's 20 degrees outside, some clever individual decided to crank the system up full blast, cooling the office to about 13 degrees.

Surely the absence of staff leading up to Christmas has amplified the effect with the lack of body heat contributing to the ambient temperature, combined with the late onset of summer temperatures, to create the frigid environment that you have to shiver through.

Now 20 degrees is quite comfortable, so a light cardigan should be sufficient clothing to maintina optimal body temperature. Not a pashmina wrapped around your legs to stop them from turning blue, a winter coat and tucking your hands into your armpits to retain some feeling in your fingers!

(Must have been a day for it Gem!)
