When i got home the inside temp was 82, which i believe is about the hottest it ever gets in here. I ran my portable AC for about an hour in the family room, which was even warmer than the main house (I closed it and the sun room off becus they have more windows and heat up more) and it managed to cool things down from 88 to 82.
I will have to take a cold shower tonight for sure. My upstairs is uninhabitable. I will sleep on the twin bed tonight in the downstairs family room.
It's awful.
My team is taking me and the other person who is being laid off out to lunch next Wednesday. I've never worked anywhere where those who are laid off get treated to lunch. Usually, you're out the same day they tell you about the layoff.
I have one more week to go and just 3 more days in office.I've emailed as many writing samples to my personal email address as I could. They could be helpful during a job interview. I also asked a friend in our Boston area office to inter office mail me some finished samples of brochures I've written, and I got them today.
I've emailed a few people who like my work invitations to hire me on a contract basis should they need a copywriter after next week. You never know if this could pan out.
I've emptied out my desk and deleted favorited websites and personal emails no one needs to see.
Not too much going on this weekend. Seeing dad for dinner tomorrow night. It's gotten to be a regular thing. I like to meet him at his place rather than have him come here becus by the time we're done with dinner, it's getting pretty dark and it makes me nervous knowing he has to drive home in the dark with his macular degeneration. My sister's town has a lot of very dark roads.
It's awfully hot here

Although, I would have liked time to get the personal stuff off my computer ... a little warning would've been nice. Oh well.

On staying cool: I find that cool-mats (for the pets) and the "chillow" pillow help. I am running two window A/Cs (one upstairs, one down) during the day, but the bedroom one is too noisy to sleep with, so that's when I use the chillow. It helps when it is just hot (last night), but when you add humidity to the mix as well (Monday's forecast), it's still difficult.

That is something about taking you to lunch even though you are being laid off. Wonder if it is a way to soften the blow so to speak. Hope you get lots of contract jobs.
