Heatwave

Original subject I know.

My brain has slowly turned to mush over the last three days, the remaining braincells just about manage to get me to drink water and keep still.

It feels impossible to work especially as the conditions in my office are beginning to feel like a laundry. Literally as the outlets from the Tumble dryers in the laundry room blow hot humid air straight into our windows. AC would be nice but the thought of using that much electricity just to keep cool sit uneasily with my conscience.

The pollution levels in London really become noticeable in this heat. Cycling home leaves me feeling like I've smoked 2 ounces of fake chinese rolling tobacco. Cycling over 20mph becomes extremely testing when each breath is tainted with "eau de bus".

I love the heat and it's only guilt that stops me ringing in sick so I can go swimming on Hampstead Heath.

Too hot for sex and food and the conditions in my office induce narcolepsy making me fall asleep as soon as I get home. My evenings have become fun free, I'd love to descend into a self piteous heap on the floor..... Hmmmm..........
My girlfriend seems to have gone nuts with the heat, we've just got a kitten who loves to chase a ping pong ball around all night, my job has become really boring, I always get bored in the summer, I've got no decent clothes, I don't earn enough, I've got no friends, my life isn't exciting, I mumble when I speak, I have an addiction to eating crap, I can't stop looking at women, OH GOD IT'S TOO FUCKING HOT!

......Deep breaths.....

I need a holiday I'm going in August but I need a couple of days off to tide me over, time to ask the boss for some annual leave.
