    Work Conditions: Extreme Heat or Paint Fumes?

    So the floor my office is on at work got a new coat of paint yesterday and after working for 4 hours or so I got a headache so I decided to work from home on Tuesday. Sounds great, except we've been having a heat wave the last 5 days here so the A/C in my building is now dead. So which would you rather work in, extreme heat or getting headaches from paint fumes? At this rate, I'm considering taking my laptop and working in my car!

          Only place I can think of with wireless internet is UW campus and that'll just re-hash old nightmares!

                          Get in your car and drive to Orangeville. I will set you up in a cool office with a 20 MBPS connection.

                              Its time to work at home for a day or so and be able to actually focus. You wont have a really great day with a combination of wicked headache from fumes + blazing heat....

                                                      I second that, but if I had to choose DEFINITE HEAT I wouldn't be able to stand the paint fumes at all..at least at home you can cool off with ice cold drinks (alcoholic preferred) take a shower and continue working, with a headache your not going to peacefully get anything done

A lot of them are dirt roads, no direct highways and there's this one bridge in a menonite town that has a maximum weight capacity of 3 tons. When I drove to DH's place I gunned it over that bridge thinking it would collapse since my car is 3.3 tons, lol.

A lot of them are dirt roads, no direct highways and there's this one bridge in a menonite town that has a maximum weight capacity of 3 tons. When I drove to DH's place I gunned it over that bridge thinking it would collapse since my car is 3.3 tons, lol.
